SERVICE OVERVIEW

What Is 6D BIM Sustainability and Energy Analysis?

6D BIM adds sustainability and energy performance data to your Building Information Model (BIM). It connects design geometry with energy simulation, carbon analysis, and green building certification requirements, allowing project teams to evaluate the impact of design decisions on energy performance, lifecycle costs, and environmental outcomes before construction begins.

3D gives you geometry, 4D adds schedule, 5D adds cost, and 6D adds sustainability. It turns your model into a decision making tool for energy efficiency, not just a drawing set.

Why Does 6D BIM Matter Now?

Energy codes and green building certification requirements may require design revisions when sustainability is evaluated late.

HVAC and building envelope systems may require further optimization without early energy modeling.

Embodied carbon in materials is difficult to evaluate without model-based sustainability analysis.

Building design decisions influence long-term energy performance and lifecycle operating costs.

Green building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM require detailed sustainability data and supporting documentation.

6D BIM sustainability and energy analysis helps project teams evaluate energy performance, carbon impact, and certification requirements early in the design process, when design changes are easier to assess.

CORE SERVICES

Our 6D BIM Sustainability and Energy Analysis Services

We connect your BIM model to real energy and sustainability outcomes. Here is what that includes:

01

Whole Building Energy Modeling

We build detailed energy simulation models directly from your BIM data to predict annual energy consumption, peak loads, and utility cost before construction begins.

Early-stage design decisions

02

LEED, BREEAM, and IGBC Certification Support

We generate the energy, daylighting, and material data your certification submission needs, and track credit compliance throughout design.

Projects pursuing green certification

03

Embodied and Operational Carbon Analysis

We calculate the carbon footprint of your materials and building operations across its lifecycle and identify the highest impact reduction opportunities.

Carbon reporting and net zero targets
