What role does building information modeling (BIM) play in HVAC design?

Building information modeling (BIM) plays a significant role in HVAC design by enabling engineers to create detailed, data-rich models of the building and its systems. BIM allows engineers to simulate and analyze the building’s energy performance, identify potential design flaws, and optimize system design before construction. This can lead to improved system performance, reduced energy consumption, and cost savings. Additionally, BIM facilitates collaboration among stakeholders, reducing errors and improving project outcomes.
