Sustainability practices in shaping the future of the built environment

In a recent conversation between Andrew Knight and Asyar Abou Kheir, a Professional Services Manager from Asite, the topic of sustainability practices in shaping the future of the built environment were discussed. This discussion highlighted the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and adopt sustainable construction practices, as well as the economic benefits and increased property values associated with sustainability. Moreover, we delved into how technology, specifically Asite's sustainability module, is being leveraged to address these challenges and streamline decision-making processes in construction projects. In this video the following topics and solutions were discussed:

• Visualisation with 3D Models: The module enables stakeholders to visualise sustainability metrics, including carbon emissions, on three-dimensional models, aiding early-stage design decisions for enhanced sustainability
• Real-Time Data Capture: Real-time data collection tracks energy consumption, water usage, material waste, and other sustainability metrics throughout project progression, facilitating timely adjustments
• Customisable Dashboards: Users have the flexibility to customise dashboards, focusing on specific sustainability metrics and project elements requiring attention, streamlining decision-making processes
• Compliance and Beyond: The module extends beyond compliance by monitoring additional factors such as cost savings, brand reputation, and workforce productivity, fostering continuous improvement in sustainable practices
• Collaboration and Communication: Built-in collaboration features facilitate efficient communication and decision-making among various stakeholders, including architects, designers, contractors, and government bodies
• Positive Customer Experience: Customers have experienced substantial benefits from implementing the Site sustainability module, including improved decision-making, real-time monitoring, and enhanced collaboration in their construction projects.
