Human-Centered Architecture: What is It and How It Makes a Difference

While buildings fulfill the most basic human needs like shelter and security, architecture impacts the emotional state of any person who interacts with it. Whether it’s intended or not, a building can provoke a range of emotions such as belonging, awe, fear, or hope.

Big, Medium, Small: 3 Net-Zero Energy Buildings

Buildings and construction are responsible for 39 percent of the carbon emissions in the world. Operational emissions, meaning the energy required to heat, cool, or light a building, account for 28 percent of overall emissions. As the construction sector is a significant driver of climate change, there’s substantial potential for improvement and environmental action. The World Green Building Council believes that the building and construction sector can eliminate carbon emission by 2050, through the global spread of net-zero energy buildings.

5 Ways Digital Tools Simplify the Access Solutions’ Installation and Commissioning

Installers often do not have it easy. When it comes to ordering the individual components and ultimately installing door components, they face many challenges. What are the biggest hurdles? Moreover, how can digital tools simplify the installation and commissioning of access solutions?

The Ultimate Guide to Fire Doors: The 5 Critical Points to Consider

Fires are among the most dangerous and costly accidents that can happen in a building. In 2018, in the US alone, there was a civilian fire death every 2 hours and 24 minutes, taking almost 3,000 lives and costing USD 25.6 billion in direct property loss. These accidents are devastating and not always preventable: It can take less than five minutes for a fire to engulf an entire property. When a tragedy as such occurs, every minute or a second is precious and can save lives. However, a robust “fire door”, a door with a fire-resistance rating, can help to contain fires in one room or can slow down the process of spreading.

Expert View: How ISO-19650 Will Change the Construction Supply Industry

Construction is one of the least digitized industries in the world, mainly due to challenges and complexities of its supply chain. While the industry has been relatively slow to respond to the digital revolution that took the world by storm, structural changes are pushing for rapid digitization.

The 5 Different Types of Access Control

Access control is what allows premises to choose who is authorized to enter when they are permitted entry, and even which zones they are allowed to visit. Dependent on the number of authorized persons, and the number of zones, there are a wide variety of options available to suit any set of security requirements.

These 5 Buildings Rocked Earthquake-Proof Designs

Dozens of buildings crumpled when a deadly earthquake hit Mexico City in 2017, but its gleaming Torre Reforma survived with just a few cracks. It’s often said ‘Earthquakes don’t kill people, buildings do‘. In tremor-prone countries like Mexico and Japan, engineers are using a cocktail of ancient and state-of-the-art techniques to ensure structures stay standing. Building on top of giant shock absorbers, ball bearings or sliding plates along with deep, flexible foundations and robust steel skeletons can help reduce the impact of powerful seismic forces and make a building earthquake-proof.

From Drawings to Digital Technology: How BIM Works

It wasn't very long ago— just a few decades— that every building began with a pencil and a piece of paper. Architects designed large buildings by drawing onto sheets of paper taped together to create a canvas hundreds of feet long.

Revolutionizing the Building Industry: An Inside Look at the openDBL Project with Kai Oberste-Ufer from dormakaba

In this exclusive written interview, we sit down with dormakaba project coordinator Kai Oberste-Ufer, Head of Architecture, Engineering & Construction Planning Tools & Configurators. OpenDBL, an EU-funded Research project, has set its sights on transforming the building industry with its ambitious goal of creating an open digital building logbook (DBL).

Common Data Environment (CDE) for BIM: 7 Questions Answered

As the construction industry no longer relies on hand-drawn plans, any building project generates vast amounts of digital data during its entire lifecycle. Whether the construction in question is a small retrofitting project or a massive university campus, creating and sharing untold data during its lifecycle is imperative.
