Project Outcomes
In todayâs world, where the effects of climate change are increasingly evident, integrating environmentally conscious design into infrastructure is no longer optional but essential. This is especially true for healthcare facilities in resource-constrained settings, where reliable access to energy, water, and safe environments directly shapes patient outcomes.
The objective of this project was to build on earlier efforts to develop Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for BHIâs design process, refining them to better measure environmental impacts and establish clearer guidance for integrating and reporting sustainability across project stages. While BHIâs core team delivers projects through the tools and workstreams outlined in its âHow We BIMâ document, this project aimed to improve consistency in its framework for embedding sustainability and to communicate its outcomes to clients more effectively.
To achieve this, desk research was conducted to review relevant KPIs and metrics across project phases, followed by an evaluation of existing tools for analysis, reporting, and dashboard automation. A concept for tracking sustainability and reporting impacts within BHI workflows was then developed and tested on a real-world projectâthe African Children’s Healthcare Fund Hospital Campus in Mutengene, Cameroon.
The key deliverables included an implementation workflow plan for integrating impact reporting into BHIâs processes, recommendations for generating impact reporting analytics across project stages, and revisions to the How We BIM document to embed impact reporting steps.
