Architects and designers may soon be able to optimise air quality in and around buildings using real-time data via a BIM software plugin.
The Digital Building Design (D-BuD) for Optimum Pollution Dispersion project is funded by Innovate UK. It is an AI-driven feasibility study focused on enhancing air quality and pollution dispersion in urban environments. The project provides architects, builders and urban planners with data-driven insights to design sustainable building layouts that comply with regulations and promote public health.
The D-BuD initiative uses data from indoor and outdoor air quality sensors, weather patterns, traffic flow, wind direction and GIS to inform the design process. The ultimate objective is to develop an AI-powered D-BuD plugin for BIM software, enabling real-time optimisation of air dispersal and indoor air quality during the design phase.
