The construction industry is often criticised for its environmental impact, contributing to nearly 40% of global energy-related carbon emissions. Given this significant footprint, the urgent need for sustainable practices in construction is clear.
Fortunately, with rapid technological advancements, AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) software is playing a transformative role in shaping a greener future in construction around the world. From optimising design processes to reducing carbon footprints, AEC software offers an array of tools that are revolutionising the global construction industry.
This article by Gordon Rodger, Managing Director of the construction consultancy firm, Stonehaven, delves into how AEC software is driving sustainable construction across the globe, highlighting the cutting-edge technologies and innovative practices paving the way for a more sustainable future in building.

Thank you for this very informative and hopeful article regarding the important benefits that can be enhanced through the use of BIM and associated technologies during the construction process. While the use of digital twins by building owners and managers is relatively new, this is an additional benefit that can be supported by construction managers through accurate and appropriate data collection during the building process. Do you have any experience with support of digital twins?
