Description
Build Health International (BHI) is designing and constructing health care facilities in locations that face significant threats from climate change and its impact on rising rates of disease and lack of accessible facilities during intensifying and unpredictable weather events. Using sustainable design strategies and the integration of technology, BHI aims to improve climate resiliency and maximize efficiencies to enable continuous care delivery and sustainable operations. This case study will examine the adoption of a common data environment that integrates and connects teams across the project lifecycle. Showcasing project examples from complex and low-resource environments will highlight how the team uses technology to improve global collaboration, reduce risks, and maximize efficiency—from design through operations that incorporate resilient design and construction methods to create efficient spaces that could withstand heavy rains, hot temperatures, and unreliable energy sources.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to implement and incorporate technology workflows, strategies, and tools that enhance efficiency and climate resilience.
- Learn about integrating project teams into one common data environment from design to construction.
- Learn about reducing rework and repetition while improving collaboration across all project stakeholders.
- Learn about design strategies that consider adaptations, resource constraints, and material sourcing.
