CPES TECHNOLOGY
Climate Prosperity Enterprise Solutions, LLC (CPES) is applying advanced Building Information modeling that vastly improves how buildings & communities are designed, built, and operated. Leveraging the power of the information age, project teams are integrated and projects are virtualized prior to construction. This leads to projects with lower construction and energy costs, plus higher performance. Major construction projects are highly collaborative processes requiring complex negotiations to balance trade-offs between the conflicting interests of owners, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, builders, bankers, and regulators. Each stakeholder has differing roles, motivations, and priorities in the process.
Problems and miscommunication caused by a traditionally slow, step-by-step, siloed, command and control business model add significant inefficiencies and costs at every stage of the design, specify and build process. Building waste is a major contributor to global pollution. This is seen as 'normal' and how it's always been done.
While 2D and 3D digitalization of key building & construction industry, product and service data have disrupted centuries-old practices and revolutionized the process of presenting, viewing, and manipulating building data; the fundamental industry business model remains the same. We believe that this is about to change.
A unique team of leading academic, political, design, and construction industry thinkers with over 150 years of pragmatic experience have come together to blend Building Information Management (BIM), state-of-the-art online gaming technologies; breakthrough advances in collaborative working, and advanced social science methodologies for human collaboration to create a new technology process called CIMS.
Where Sustainability Meets Profitability
The partnership between CPES and 3D BIM technology is making IT in the construction industry more efficient and robust. By utilizing the virtual technology tool provided by CPES, an opportunity is given to owners and designers to make their lives easier and help them save time and money on their projects. The savings are not only achieved during the construction phase but also during the operations of the building in the form of lower energy and operational costs. The Benefits of the Technology Include:
Superior characteristics (energy footprint, etc.)
Enhanced user performance
Construction completed in less time and at significantly less cost
How does the technology accomplish this?
Armed with this tool, change orders, sequencing, counting, construction, cost, and time all revert to the best possible outcomes for the owner and operator. All in real-time.
3D Virtualization: 3D virtualization of the building is interactive, easier to navigate, and improves collaboration, features which create significant savings: architects save time by identifying early design errors and omissions; better design decisions can be made pre-build, creating savings during construction by eliminating change-orders; and building operations are more effective for all stakeholders.
Instant QTO with links to the RSMeans Pricing Database: The Visual Information Model, or VIM, is populated with objects created that allow for an instant Quantity Take Off (QTO) specification document linked to the R.S. Means Pricing Database, which provides a price estimate on each object based on the location of the project.
Energy Analysis: By taking into account a project’s geographic location as well as the HVAC equipment in the design, an estimate on the energy needs of your building can be provided. The building designer can thus optimize the design and selection of equipment to achieve maximum efficiency and lower energy costs once the building is operational. The EcoScoreCard database provides access to LEED-certified objects and LEED forms for easy application for project certification.
CPES Enterprise Solution Methodology: The Collaborative Intelligence Management System (CIMS) maximizes the collaboration of all project stakeholders from the pre-construction to operations phases. The Enterprise Solution utilizes the VIM platform by accessing information from the builders and users collected by surveys and databases of the appropriate stakeholders during design, construction, and operations.
