BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM) IN PRACTICE

Speakers:
🌿Aidan Kenny Associate Director, AtkinsRéalis
🌿Fernanda Rocha EPD Programme Administrator, Irish Green Building Council and
🌿Bernadett Császár, Building Efficiency Researcher, Irish Green Building Council

Background:
This session is part of Construct Innovate Digital Construction Technologies module of the 2025/2026 webinar series.

This topic will cover the use of data in the construction industry, which includes broad areas of building information modelling (BIM) technology, digital twinning, simulation and visualisation methods.

Digitalisation fundamentally changes the ways in which construction teams interact. Technologies such as BIM can seamlessly monitor the materials and products delivered to the construction site, in a manner that respects the need for sustainability and traceability. Sensors provide data for digital twins and their incorporation into construction elements; while augmented reality technologies are beginning to be used for site inspections, allowing continuous monitoring of construction process and conducting quality control checks with greater ease.

This series aligns with SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

This webinar series are supported by The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI), Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI), Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland (ACEI) and Engineers’ Ireland West region.
