AECCafe’s Trends Report 2016Thursday, January 7th, 2016Trends that are shaping the built world are powered by the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, institute BIM mandates across the globe, the need for convergence or collaboration of AEC teams, the need for the “smart city,” emergence of the owner/operator extending the lifecycle of a project into operations and maintenance, and provision of tools that are right for the job.

This focus is moving into the building side of things with many technologies that we have traditionally thought of as strictly manufacturing.
