Open Source Week: Day 2

Transforming Workflows in Structural Engineering

Awatif is revolutionizing structural engineering with its innovative, web-based parametric platform. By integrating the entire design cycle into a seamless, intuitive interface, Awatif empowers engineers to streamline workflows, enhance data integrity, and collaborate effortlessly. Join us to explore how our open-source solution is driving efficiency and sustainability in the construction industry.

Bonsai

Bonsai is a powerful, IFC-native BIM authoring platform, offering an open-source approach to building information modeling. Built around the Industry
Foundation Classes (IFC) standard, Bonsai allows for seamless interoperability across a wide range of BIM tasks, including design authoring, cost estimation, scheduling, and simulation. Its native integration with IFC ensures data integrity and enhances collaboration by providing a unified, open
workflow, free from proprietary constraints.

IfcLCA

IfcLCA is a new open source tool for life cycle assessment (LCA) in the construction industry that can be seamlessly integrated into BIM workflows. It is currently available in the beta version (www.ifclca.com) and enables the detailed assessment of the environmental impact of building materials, currently based on the Swiss KBOB life cycle assessment data, with planned extensions to include additional indicators. Thanks to the use of open data standards, IfcLCA can be used flexibly and supports the sustainable planning and implementation of construction projects with the involvement of all
stakeholders.
