Building Climate-Resilient Landscapes with BIM: A Sustainable Approach

At SKAB , designing climate-resilient landscapes that adapt to the challenges of climate change is a top priority. BIM (Building Information Modeling) plays a pivotal role in optimizing these designs, ensuring outdoor spaces are sustainable, efficient, and capable of withstanding extreme weather, rising temperatures, and water scarcity.

By integrating BIM into the design process, landscapes can be modeled in great detail, allowing for the simulation of various climate conditions and the ability to make adjustments in real-time. This technology helps in the precise selection and placement of native, drought-tolerant plants that are well-suited to local climates, reducing the need for water and maintenance.

Water management is another area where BIM proves essential. By incorporating features like rain gardens , permeable pavements , and green roofs , the impact of stormwater can be effectively managed. BIM enables the simulation of water flow and drainage patterns, ensuring that these features work seamlessly within the landscape and contribute to reducing urban runoff and supporting natural water cycles.

By leveraging BIM, SKAB is creating climate-resilient landscapes that are not only sustainable but adaptable, providing urban spaces that will thrive despite the challenges posed by a changing climate.
