Sustainability factors and digitalisation are now top priorities impacting the future of the built environment. Adopting new digital technologies and solutions throughout the project&#039;s lifecycle provides additional opportunities for the new business models and can therefore promote sustainability in the construction industry. <br> <br>A recent example of how technology promotes sustainability is Glodon’s research and development center in Xi&#039;an, which is officially in service on December 18. <br> <br>It is the fourth self-owned building built and operated by Glodon that combines and tests Glodon&#039;s Digital Building concept with Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), lean construction, digital twins, BIM and other digital technologies. <br> <br>A Green and Comfortable Building That is Energy Self-sufficient <br> <br>The total construction area of the building is about 66,000 square meters, with 3 floors underground and 12 floors above the ground. The building has green spaces on the roof and an indoor ecological atrium full of plants. An irrigation system that harvests and utilises rainwater controls humidity and temperature for the plants. <br> <br>The building achieves energy self-sufficiency with a solar photovoltaic panel system that performs energy generation, noise reduction, and sun shading at the same time. The system can also automatically adjust lighting according to sunlight, which saves energy. <br> <br>Inside, the building is equipped with intelligent office equipment to meet the employees&#039; needs for work and leisure. It has an indoor track, fitness zone, and shared relaxing space. In addition, the building is equipped with a healthcare room where people can check their health condition with essential equipment. <br> <br>The working conditions and environment have been greatly improved. This is not only a microcosm of Glodon&#039;s development and growth but also an important step to fulfilling its mission to create a better working and living environment with technology.
