In parallel to generative form-making, Aidea built a VDC model as a platform to coordinate inputs from all the project partners and consultants. The model was then used for different analytic parameters and visualization. The use of VDC allowed for a significant reduction in construction waste and carbon emissions that, along with heat gain prevention and energy and water resource-conserving strategies, enabled the team to target LEED Gold certification. The international project team proved Aidea’s VDC methodology an absolute necessity for the coordination and dovetailing of each expertise into a tightly integrated virtual model and package of construction documents.
