BIM World Munich: Focus on Sustainable Facility Management and Building Materials
The focus of this year’s event is on BIM4FM (Building Information Modeling for Facility Management) and BIM4Materials (Building Information Modeling for building materials). The emphasis is on sustainable and efficient operations, as well as circular economy.
The BIM World MUNICH is dedicated to addressing future-oriented topics that will shape the industry in the present and years to come. One of the main questions being asked is how digitalization, based on the BIM standard, can contribute to sustainable and energy-efficient construction and production.
The event will showcase a wide range of BIM applications and solutions, highlighting the creation and maintenance of digital twins. With topics ranging from BIM4Realestate to BIM4Infrastructure, BIM4Materials, BIM4Machines, BIM4FM, and BIM4Netzero, attendees can expect to explore the latest advancements in these areas. Over 250 international exhibitors and 250 speakers will provide valuable insights and engage with industry professionals over the course of the event.
Digitalization of the entire construction process: BIM World MUNICH
The BIM World MUNICH focuses on digitally mapping all phases of the construction process, from planning to operation. A key challenge in building operation is meeting ESG criteria and reducing the CO2 footprint. A standardized data model can help achieve these goals by ensuring continuity and providing a framework for efficient data management. This enables stakeholders to make informed decisions that align with sustainability objectives and improve the overall performance of buildings.
BIM4FM Congress explores sustainable and efficient building operations
The BIM4FM Congress, organized in collaboration with CAFM Ring e.V. and gefma, focuses on sustainable and efficient building operations. Building services engineering (TGA) and building automation play a crucial role in maintaining and updating the digital model (Digital Twin) in existing buildings. An expert panel will specifically address the topic of “BIM4TGA” and demonstrate the benefits of BIM in building services engineering, covering everything from planning and installation to operation.
Exploring digital processes to reduce CO2 emissions in construction materials
The BIM4Materials Congress, organized by BIM World MUNICH and Rudolf Müller Mediengruppe, will focus on addressing how the reduction of CO2 emissions in the field of construction materials can be achieved through standardized digital processes and data storage. The event aims to explore innovative solutions and strategies for promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility within the construction industry.
The concept of a “Materials Bank” is being discussed as a means to promote sustainable practices and recycling within the construction industry. This innovative approach could have a significant impact on reducing waste and creating a circular economy. Examples of “Urban Mining” in the Netherlands, where buildings are constructed using recycled materials, demonstrate the potential for a future of entirely sustainable construction.
Austria takes the lead in digitalization and modular construction
Austria is the official partner country of the BIM World MUNICH this year, showcasing its leading role in digitalization, modular construction with wood, and infrastructure projects on an international scale. The participation of numerous Austrian visitors and exhibitors, who have been attending the event for many years, underscores the country’s expertise and involvement in the industry. This partnership provides an excellent opportunity to learn from Austria’s experiences and gain insights into their successful practices in these areas.
Expert panel explores the use of BIM in intelligent hospitals
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is being utilized in the healthcare sector to create digital twins of intelligent hospitals. An expert panel, organized in collaboration with buildingSMART AUSTRIA, will showcase the potential of BIM in this field. Renowned representatives from companies like VAMED, VIE built, and Granlund will demonstrate the innovative projects that have been implemented using BIM. This session aims to highlight the benefits and advancements that BIM can bring to hospital planning and operations.
International start-ups compete for top spots in Smart Building Innovation World Cup(R)
The Smart Building/Smart Construction Innovation World Cup(R) is an annual competition that brings together international startups in the construction industry. For the sixth consecutive year, the competition’s finale will take place, where startups will pitch their innovative ideas to a panel of experts. The top eight finalists will have the opportunity to showcase their solutions and compete for the title of “Smart Building/Smart Construction Innovator of the Year 2023” on November 29th.
The BIM World MUNICH offers participants a wide range of benefits, including the opportunity to stay informed about the latest trends and innovations in the fields of digitalization, sustainability, and efficiency. Through the presentation of BIM applications and solutions, as well as the discussion of forward-thinking topics such as BIM4FM and BIM4Materials, the event contributes to advancing the industry and promoting a sustainable and energy-efficient approach to construction and production.
