- 43. RAMBOLL EXAMPLE – ADVANCED MEP DESIGN INNOVATION PROJECT
- 44. FINDINGS : MEP EXPLORE - GENERATIVE DESIGN GENERATIVE DESIGN CAN BE ALSO USED FOR MEP DESIGN VS MEP GENERATIVE DESIGN ROBUS BIM PROCESSES STANDARD DIGITAL ASSETS PEOPLE SKILL AND MINSET PROCESS AND PEOPLE COMES FIRT JUST TECHNOLOGHY PEOPLE AND STANDARD TECHNOLOGHY MANY OF MEP COMPANIES ARE NOT READY DIFFICULT TO SCALE UP AT THE MOMENT
- 45. Implementation & moving forward
- 46. IMPLEMENTATION ROAD MAP - OPPORTUNITIES I THINK WE ARE STILL HERE NEW COMPANY AND TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPING GENERATIVE DESIGN PLATFORM 2018 2019-2020 2020 -2025 STARTING SCALING UP
- 47. IMPLEMENTATION ROAD MAP - OPPORTUNITIES - Generative technology and design process improves productivity and quality of AEC projects - To get value from generative design approach, people and processes need to be ready. Don’t follow the waterfall - Think BIG, start small (Minimum Valuable Product)
