Building Innovation: The Podcast
Building Innovation: The Podcast is the official podcast of the National Institute of Building Sciences. It will bring to the mic a wide array of stakeholders, providing a holistic view of what is happening in the built environment. The podcast
will help raise awareness about industry challenges as well as educate the industry on emerging innovative solutions. It also will feature NIBS’ work and that of our
eight volunteer bodies, which includes seven councils.
NIBS convenes subject matter experts to support advances in building science and technology and explores research-based innovations for the built environment.
Building Innovation: The Podcast
Integration of GIS, BIM, & Digital Twins
The latest episode of the National Institute of Building Sciences’ Building Innovation podcast, hosted by Johnny Fortune, highlights industry leader, Marc Goldman, Director of AEC Industry Solutions with Esri. Marc discusses the intersection of GIS, BIM, and digital twins in the building industry. He explains how GIS provides context and layers of information that are crucial for making informed decisions in architecture, engineering, and construction. He emphasizes the role of GIS as the underpinning of digital twins and the integration of BIM data into GIS for visualization and analysis.
Key topics covered include:
- GIS provides context and layers of information that are crucial for making informed decisions in the built environment.
- BIM and GIS are interrelated technologies that can be used together to create a holistic picture of a project and provide the basis for digital twins.
- The integration of BIM, GIS, and digital twins is the future of the industry, enabling visualization, analysis, and information sharing for complete lifecycle management.
- Efforts are underway to develop standards and bring GIS, BIM, and digital twins together.
