Round Table Speakers
Round Table 1
Aleksandra Njagulj, Head of Sustainability, Bouygues UK
‘Assessing and Minimising the Embodied Impact using Building Information Modelling’
Aleksandra Njagulj, MSc Arch, MAID, BREEAM and CfSH Assessor,
BREEAM Accredited Professional
Aleksandra is an architect with over 10 years of architectural practice in
design and design management gained before moving to sustainability
specialty. She is currently leading the ‘Sustainability Hub’ – a team of in-
house sustainability experts within the Bouygues UK Technical
Department.
Sustainability Hub is dealing with all sustainability related aspects of project management, design,
construction and aftercare. The team is also in charge of company sustainable assessment process,
certification and sustainability training, tools and practices as well as varied R&D activities in synergy
with both other Technical Department experts (BIM, M&E, structures, etc) and external partners.
Questions for Round Table
Building Information Modelling has been advocated for its potential delivery of more innovative,
cost-efficient buildings through more integrated information and collaboration. Yet the inherent
power of BIM is its potential contribution to the design, construction and commissioning of buildings
with lower environmental impacts, whether this is in the form of energy-efficiency, the cutting of
carbon or for better use of fewer materials.
The aim of this round table discussion is to demonstrate how embodied impacts (embodied carbon,
materials use, waste, maintenance, etc) can be minimised through the use of specialist environment
analysis applications. Topics to be discussed shall include the following:
Ways to reduce the embodied carbon – LCA
The embodied carbon assessment ‘tools’ (Impact (IES), Butterfly, Rapiere, EPG, BRE’s GReen Guide ratings, LCC analysis, embodied carbon databases and standards)
Designing out embodied impacts through use of BIM
Round Table 2
Chloe Obi, BIM Manager, Bouygues UK
‘Utilisation of Building Information Modelling to Enhance Environmental Optimisation’
At Bouygues UK we have developed an industry leading approach to
implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) on our projects. This is
supported by comprehensive processes that comply with PAS 1192 /2+3
and BS 1192-4 2014, led by our Group BIM Manager, architect, Chloe Obi.
Chloe leads our team of BIM Coordinators and provides on-going support
across our projects, throughout all regions, delivering training, providing
advice and supporting initial BIM set up and continued BIM
implementation. Chloe is also a BRE BIM Level 2 Accredited Professional
(BIM AP) as well as a certified BRE Professional Project / Task Information Manager.
Chloe leads the implementation of BIM at Bouygues UK, ideally starting at the commencement of
the design stage and in order to be effective and to maximise the benefits and efficiencies derived
from using BIM, she is partially responsible for ensuring that all key project stakeholders adopt
common processes and buy-in to its use, i.e. client, designers, consultants, contractors and key
supply chain members at the necessary stages of a projects lifecycle.
In implementing BIM she has also established a process of assessment of each of the stakeholders,
which provides a profile of their IT and BIM capabilities. Training and support needs are evaluated
and taken account of in Bouygues UK’s BIM Execution Plan (BEP) which details how BIM shall be
implemented on a scheme and which was produced by Chloe herself.
In addition to the above Chloe has experience in all aspects of BIM from 3D Design Coordination, 4D
Phasing and Sequencing, 5D Cost, 6D Asset Management, through to structural and environmental
optimisation.
Questions for Round Table
Building Information Modelling has been advocated for its potential delivery of more innovative,

power of BIM is its potential contribution to the design, construction and commissioning of buildings
with lower environmental impacts, whether this is in the form of energy-efficiency, the cutting of
carbon or for better use of fewer materials.The aim of this round table discussion is to demonstrate
how waste (primarily at the early project phase) can be eliminated through the use of specialist
environment analysis applications. Topics to be discussed shall include the following:
A review of the relationship between BIM and energy analysis and its role as a regime to run the process
Energy analysis to achieve the efficient performance buildings through BIM
The application of BIM for Energy Analysis
Round Table 3 Chris Halligan, Stephen George & Partners ‘Specifying Sustainable Materials and Using Digital Tools’

ranging from underground housing and conservation projects in
rural environments to large commercial developments.
Chris is chair of Stephen George & Partners’ Design and Technology
Steering Group and, with like-minded colleagues advises the
practice and our clients on matters relating to technical matters,
environmental issues and sustainable design.
His research into low energy buildings both for the practice and as part of a MSc project in
Sustainable Architecture gained him qualification with distinction in 2009.
Chris has recently co-authored Stephen George & Partners’ Guide to Building Materials and the
Environment which has received plaudits from sustainable design professionals around the world
and in October 2011 was awarded the Royal Institute of British Architects President’s Award for
Outstanding Practice-located Research.
A roundtable to discuss the digital tools available to the specifier seeking sustainable materials and
their effect on the design process
Questions for Round Table
Framework for discussion and questions to be addressed;
What defines a material as ‘sustainable,’ and how can we make informed choices in
specification?
Is the variety of assessment systems reflected in the availability of corresponding digital
tools?
Is the variety of systems available a barrier to agreement of protocols within the design
team?
Does the limitation of digital tools prevent an accurate assessment of sustainability?
Will an eventual ‘industry standard,’ result in more or less understanding in the design
team?
Round table 4
Elrond Burrell, Associate, Architype Ltd
‘How is BIM best used for Passivhaus design?’
Elrond Burrell is an architect with over 15 years experience in
designing and delivering sustainable architecture. His two passions
and areas of expertise are Sustainable Design, particularly Passivhaus
and Timber construction, and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Elrond is an associate in the Architype Hereford office and his role
encompasses project delivery and company wide BIM leadership. He
is a regularly public speaker in the UK and abroad on Sustainable
Design, BIM and Passivhaus. He is recognised on social media
platforms as an industry thought leader in BIM & sustainable design
and has been featured in the Architect's Journal and Building Design.
As we move towards a more sustainable future and meeting EU requirements for all buildings to be
“near-zero energy” by 2020, passivhaus is gaining importance and becoming mainstream in the UK.
How can BIM help with this?
Questions for the Round Table
What and how much PHPP (Passive Housing Planning Package) data should be generated from the geometry model?
Should geometry modeling techniques be altered to suit PHPP data requirements?
Should specific BIM components be created for Passivhaus design? If so, by whom and who should own / distribute them?
Should Passivhaus BIM authoring templates (Revit, ArchiCad, Bentley, Vectorworks etc) be created for the industry?
If so, by whom and who should own / distribute them?
Is the SketchUp plugin DesignPH “BIM”? If so what happens when the project moves beyond SketchUp?
Could BIM provide a means to demystify and encourage greater uptake of passivhaus so the UK can meet the EU requirements for near-zero energy buildings by 2020?

Questions for Round Table
This round table will explore how BIM relates to Red List, Healthy Materials and the Circular
Economy...
What safeguards do we have to prevent unsustainable materials from inclusion into BIM
Models?
What is the role for Well Building Standard and the Living Building Challenge in BIM
development?
What data do we have on healthy or indeed toxic materials on occupant health - or should
we just follow the precautionary principle?
Deconstruction of buildings is increasingly a design consideration - how can BIM assist the
circular economy thinking as buildings as material banks
