Success Story: SENN — Project ALL

Emissions reduction and material optimization SENN relies on vyzn for sustainable planning

The new-build project ALL is located in the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel, on the same site as the already realized HORTUS project. It comprises a highly flexible office and laboratory building with around 20,500 m² of usable floor space. Planned by Herzog & de Meuron, the building meets radical sustainability standards.

Challenges

• High manual effort to remeasure and verify areas from the model
• Monitor various materials & components and their impact on the life cycle assessment during the planning phase
• Need for intuitive, standard-compliant software to obtain SNBS certification

Results

• 2x 3D/BIM models evaluated with vyzn's AI
• Reduction of emissions through the use of a lower-emission concrete recipe, which was created and directly analyzed in a new component in vyzn
• Automated calculation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and embodied energy, including the photovoltaic systems used with European modules
• Standard-compliant evaluations recognized in accordance with SNBS
• Efficient and sustainable planning process through early material choice and emissions monitoring
