Environmental legislative constraints increasingly require architects to turn to environmentally conscious and sustainable designs for buildings. BIM and 3D digital technologies have recently been presented as unrivalled tools that now offer proven productivity gains. To what extent does this technological progress help to make building designs more environmentally conscious? Can 3D help us to reduce energy consumption? Can it make the design and construction of a building more sustainable?
The subjects covered: 
Can 3D/BIM be used in ‘sustainable’ design and what are its limits? What benefits do 3D/BIM technologies bring to the link between design time and calculation verification? Discussing the link between design, construction and management time; is it the same or has it improved? The goal of the conference: To ensure that visionary and pragmatic architects alike have a thorough understanding of the advantages and limits of, as well as the prospects for, BIM and 3D in the eco-design and construction of buildings. Who is the conference aimed at?
