What is the idea behind Building Energy Modeling?

Currently, the civil construction sector is undergoing enormous changes in terms of sustainability. It promotes the safety and health of workers, care for the neighborhood, actions that are less predatory to the environment, pollution control from the work and management of waste. There is a strong investment in the Building Energy Modeling through innovations, scientific research, consultations with professionals in the area, and the consumer market for the design of new and more sustainable products. These processes generate less environmental impact.

Evolution of sustainable construction –

Worldwide awareness of the planet's limited resources is generating a revolution within companies, governments, schools, media companies, non-governmental organizations, and in society. It is a topic of daily debate. It is a new revolution at technological, cultural levels, and a new way of thinking about the environment in a global and local way. It helps to create a feeling in the collective people, where each citizen does a little for a place where he lives, through small sustainable actions, such as saving water, electricity, generating less waste, disposing of garbage in the right places, practicing recycling, etc.

It is also necessary to develop awareness work to overcome individualism and selfishness based on the values of solidarity, cooperation, respect, commitment to the collective, participation, and social responsibility. It is important to create an awareness that we need to consume less and less non-renewable resources. It is necessary to reuse, recycle products, and reduce environmental degradation.

The cost of sustainable construction

A construction that follows the parameters of sustainability can be designed with additional costs of just one percent more of the total value of the work. The work can be carried out at a very low cost relative to conventional construction that does not take into account sustainable effects. However, it is necessary to have a significant study in advance before designing the Green Building Malaysia. A scale of priorities is made at a technical level taking into account various factors, such as climate, location, size and shape of the building, neighborhood, impact on nature, protection and creation of new green areas, preservation and reuse of water, materials to be used, reduction of energy consumption, minimum generation of waste, etc.

Professionals in the civil construction area aim to adapt to a new and more demanding consumer market, which consists of concerns about economic, social, and environmental aspects. Globalization, the idea of sustainability, Building Energy Modeling ,and new technologies are other determining factors for the evolution of the sector.
