The AEC Industry is impacted by two powerful global developments: first the evolution of “Building Information Modeling (BIM)”, revolutionizing the entire process of design, drafting and visualization, and second, “environmental awareness”, calling for commitment to sustainable building targeting the quality-of-life of future generations.

The evolution of BIM modeling and its encroachment into the domain of AutoCAD is creating a new chapter in the history of the AEC industry. The Global Fraternity of Architects (GFA) affirms BIM process as the main way forward for the AEC industry, and Revit works as the backbone of the BIM process. Despite that fact, AutoCAD continues to reign over the AEC and MEP industry. A relatively small percentage of architectural firms and builders are embracing the BIM concept. Architectural Evangelist conducts a survey and finds out that the misconceptions and ignorance of the fundamental benefits of BIM choke off the idea of the home builders to move to the BIM platform.

With respect to architecture, the term vernacular is employed to describe building designs and styles that reflect the nearby customs, wants, and creating resources available. Considering that antiquity, individuals have learned by way of trial and error, the numerous structural concepts we usually take for granted these days. Vernacular architecture is the item of generations of experimentation, trial and error.

Even though associated with outdated and primitive methods, the positive positive aspects of vernacular housing designs – even in today’s ultra-modern world – are numerous. In truth, it is simply because we as a global race have advanced so significantly, so rapidly, in these very areas, that we have caused widespread depletion of resources, to the point that we have began to go back to our roots to uncover answers.

Crisis and environmental pollution under the double pressure, solar energy as an inexhaustible and pollution-free energy, has become the field of international energy development and utilization of a new hot spot.

Solar water heaters

In the field of solar thermal technology the most mature and most widely used, the most rapid process of industrialization. However, domestic solar

Water heater

Manufacturers and architects how solar water heating systems in buildings in combination with the research efforts not only affects the further popularization of solar water heaters, but also affect the city.

Recent years, the situation changes, the strong high-speed development time is ripe for solar energy industry, environmental, policy, technology and other aspects of the support base has been in place, right time to vigorously promote the use of solar energy. Vigorously promote the use of solar energy in the city will focus on building integrated solar energy, to promote and popularize solar building integration, in addition to government departments strive to promote, but also to guide the real estate developers and residents to accept the new things. In the process, the government should take effective measures to solar energy and building integrated design and construction work planned; property
