Wellness in the Model: How BIM Helps Create Healthier Indoor Environments?
When we think of BIM (Building Information Modeling), most people imagine clash detection, steel coordination, or 4D sequencing. But here’s the twist: BIM isn’t just about building smarter —it’s also about building healthier . Yes, you read that right. Your Revit model might just be as important to your air quality as your HVAC system. Why Wellness Matters in Design? Modern occupants—whether in offices, schools, hospitals, or homes—spend nearly 90% of their time indoors .
