Key Challenges Faced by Designers in Integrating Sustainable Practices into Design Development State of Art Sustainability tools Too many of them and only few use them
Design tools try and ease out the designing and drawing process in the form of providing visual enhancement.
Architects are not hardcore technical professionals and sustainable practices in the past have been engineer’s domain.
Sustainable design concepts are always developed by researchers who are domain specific experts. Except for a few exceptions.

Conceptual design

Construction
Energy modeling, conducted late in the project, sometimes even at the end of the
construction process
What is intended to help and improve the design becomes a costly, time-consuming
exercise, which findings cannot be implemented anymore
Manage to transfer the decision making and the transparency of sustainable inputs earlier in the project

BIM tools are the current best solution available for us to integrate the two different thinking minds together by embedding the required information in to a designer’s tool.
BIM provides the opportunity to simplify the technical requirements through embedded programming.
BIM tools like Revit, Bentley BIM and ArchiCAD provide the front end GUI which is friendly to the designers and familiar to them already.

Localization
Most tools and softwares are designed for other countries, climates, practices.
Singapore has a particular climate, and has its own codes and standards
Need of localizing the information to suit to the closest the practitioner’s needs

Navigator solution
Sustainability tailored to architects
Common sustainable analysis themes
Each theme is then broken into Navigators guiding the user through the analysis
Specific results for each building project guides the architect through the early stage design decisions (that will provide continuity to the wider design team at later stages of design)

The key components of the GM tool include: - Energy Modeling - ETTV/RTTV calculation - Daylighting simulation - Artificial lighting design and optimization - MV systems design and optimization - Energy efficient features - Quantify Renewable energy credits - Water savings potential calculations - Validation of thermal comfort credits
Green Mark tool overview
Green Mark Navigators will guide both the experienced and novice user through the workflow to perform a robust, repeatable and quality controlled Green Mark assessment

Plug- Ins for Sketch-Up and Revit
GMT Green Mark tool
Easy to use – produce results at the touch of a few buttons
Data entry and outputs are managed
Based on real climate data and typical characteristics of buildings and systems
Early stage reportage guides the architect towards solutions that are proven to work in their project’s climate.
Green Mark tool for Architects
Tool tailored for architects
Simplify the process by creating a tool for easy decision making at every step of the project, even (especially) at the conceptual level; a tool for architects with the same precision but with simplicity
Automate and eliminate the time-consuming (ex. repetitive inputs), redundant steps in the process, for the project team as well as for the assessors
Live update of simulation results and Green Mark scores, to grasp the impact at every level of a change on the model: allows a true iterative process for improvement in the design
Advantages to Architects
Reportage: Samples
Report generation : Comprehensible

Way forward
Integrate more and more information interoperability between BIM tools used by architects and software
The ultimate goal is to fully integrate it as a plug-in able directly from the BIM tool to perform the required analysis
Completely eliminate any redundant input; move from geometrical parameters to all data
