Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the reality of today’s architecture. Building Information
Modelling (BIM) technique is a great opportunity for communication and data management
in virtual space. BIM cloud-based collaboration provides up-to-date information, where
project data is at the centre of the process and delivered to the point of the work,
makes building workflows more efficient and effective, especially combined with the
representational, analytic, and reality capture capabilities. The powerful computer
hardware and software can store, transmit and evaluate huge amount of information,
but this virtual universe sometimes seems to be too much and too complicated for architects,
engineers and contractors (AEC) as single individuals.Widespread awareness of climate
change, pollution, depletion of natural resources and huge amount of technical opportunities
on global market have triggered professional demands for architects, in sustainable
design. Adaptation is a crucial factor in sustainable architecture. Adequacy of decisions
depends on the data applied. Systematization of all relevant information, aspects
and tools from the very first design step is a crucial part of contemporary architecture.Building
design and construction use significant quantities of natural resources and materials
and the products we select affect the quality of the spaces we inhabit. Careful consideration
of environment and construction parameters from the earliest stage of the design process
can have an enormous impact on reducing subsequent operating costs, protecting the
nature and our health.Sustainability in architectural design can be more effective
based on a newly developing BIM managed integrated multilevel complex approach and
database. It should consist of construction and material parameters, requirements
and their qualification fitted to the design steps and systemized according to the
performance based evaluation and building anatomy.
