What does it do?
IMPACT is a method and dataset that integrates with 3D CAD/BIM tools to report on environmental impacts and life cycle costing in the construction industry. IMPACT takes quantity information from the BIM and multiplies this by the environmental impact and/or cost ‘rates’ to produce an overall impact and cost for the whole (or a selected part) of the design. The results generated by IMPACT allow the user to:
•analyse the design to optimise cost and environmental impacts.
•compare whole-building results to a suitable benchmark to assess performance, which can be linked to building assessment schemes.
Why use it?
Software tool that integrates with CAD and BIM tooling to provide a rich picture of environmental impact and life cycle costing on construction projects.
Accessibility
