expanding their operations to include more than the construction phase of
the project. This company’s value chain now spans from the financing of a
project through the land development and facility design phase, through the
construction phase and into new territory, the operations and maintenance of
the property. These added responsibilities are increasing their need for
environmental information so as to decrease their risk and vulnerability.
BOVIS can minimize the financial risk to capital infrastructure investment
by incorporating new environmental forecast information such as regional
temperature, air quality, winds, precipitation, seismic, frost levels, etc
estimates out to 30 years. This enables BLL’s investment portfolios to be
compiled which have in them scientifically-based environmental predictions
about the future conditions of the building site (before , during and after the
construction phase), often used for insurance purposes as well. BOVIS can
incorporate environmental forecast information into all phases of the
construction siting, design, materials, scheduling and compliance reporting
of a project. BOVIS can factor in the real time, and seasonal to inter-annual
weather and climate predictions into the operations and management phase
of the Business such as optimal building energy management using real-time
environmental information of temperature, humidity, winds, cloud cover,
pollutants for heating and cooling cost savings. Real time and short term
weather forecast information can be used as well in the scheduling of staff
resources as well as to “trigger” the required emergency management actions
in case of a disaster.
