BIM Academy and Building Research Solutions (BRS) have announced a new partnership to support environmental change and help the industry to meet and deliver construction net zero targets
The new alliance between BIM Academy and BRS has the potential to deliver groundbreaking consultancy and research with industry-changing results.
Both organisations will collaborate on consultancy, research and learning and development to support clients across the construction industry and beyond, to meet construction net zero targets and carbon reduction goals.
The key objectives of this partnership are to allow BIM Academy and BRS to collaborate and share their expertise in the areas of digital and sustainable transformation to the benefits of existing and new clients.
The partnership aims to increase digital and sustainability agendas
Digital and sustainability agendas will be increased by combining expertise in both areas to showcase the optimisation of better design (new build and retrofit) through the proliferation of data generation, capture and analysis.
Joint knowledge transfer and learning and development will be delivered through new training courses to upskill the industry in BIM and building performance methods to streamline the progression in achieving a more sustainable, safe and healthy built environment.
BIM Academy and Building Research Solutions (BRS) are built on sustainability
Dr Graham Kelly, managing director at BIM Academy, commented on this new partnership: “Combining our relevant areas of expertise with that of BRS’s, will place a strong and clear emphasis on the power to generate actionable intelligence and drive better decision making when it comes to sustainability strategies.
The partnership with BRS will inform new interactions between the worlds of digital construction and energy efficiency building performance, in turn testing, developing and streamlining new workflows which will have tangible results for decision makers.”
Supporting organisations in meeting their construction net zero targets
BIM Academy and BRS work with national and international governments, public sector organisations, private sector consortiums, developers, consultants, and contractors.
The new partnership will further support these organisations in project delivery and meeting construction net zero targets, allowing them to work more efficiently and achieve their respective national and individual sustainability targets.
Merging workflows to create more sustainable buildings and project teams
Dr Jon Stinson, managing and technical director at Building Research Solutions added: “By merging the workflows of digital and building performance, not only does this act to create more sustainable buildings but, and arguably just as important, they work to make project teams more sustainable.
This is achieved by calibrating the specification of required data and consolidating it in a way that is both easily accessed and easily actioned, thereby relieving pressure in some of the notorious pinch points in most projects. Helping to make the right decision faster.”
