Electrical calculation for real estate
Description
The future of the construction sector looks quite promising. The increase in urbanization due to the growing population drives the growth of the activity, both for the residential and for the commercial sector.
Electrical safety is an essential factor for any successful construction project. As construction systems become more integrated and the sector adopts sustainable and environmental concepts in design, it is important to provide resources to implement safety and electrical efficiency as an integral part of the projects.
In order to take advantage of market opportunities, it will be essential to understand the emerging trends that shape the dynamics of the construction sector.
First, construction management software tools have improved steadily in recent years and one of the trends that characterizes the sector is the interactive management of the entire building life cycle, from the feasibility study to the eventual demolition. Therefore, to ensure maximum efficiency, it is imperative to use integrated software solutions, capable of promoting a high level of interoperability.
Within this framework, stands the Building Information Modeling(BIM). More than a trend, BIM has inaugurated a new chapter in the construction industry. Building Information Modeling is the digital management of information processes for the design, construction and management of construction projects. The use of the digital model – the representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a structure – promotes interoperability and interactivity. The use of a single shared digital 3D model makes it possible that the eventual changes applied are simultaneously available for all stakeholders involved in the construction project. This means that the BIM model guarantees the use of consistent information and, consequently, leads to less waste by reducing the occurrence of errors.
In addition, due to the serious problem of climate change, the construction sector is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through the construction of sustainable and efficient infrastructures from an energy point of view.
Trace Software International Solutions
As the industry is moving towards new challenges, it is essential to invest in efficient technology capable of connecting information and people along the whole project life-cycle.
Performance, energy efficiency and interoperability are the watchwords of an industry where the technology is providing precious data for the decision-making process, leading to more predictable results.
elec calc™ Suite is the software dedicated to engineering professionals that allows to design, size, calculate and operate electrical installations in real-time. It’s the only software in the market that integrates the management of high and low voltage in the same project and guarantees compliance with international standards.
