Integrate and analyse GIS and BIM data and visualise environmental impacts at CAVE

Business Needs / Challenges

To enhance screening and scoping of environmental issues and facilitate better public engagement in coordinating environmental planning and assessment for large scale landuse proposals and development projects, the department is considering to perform analysis of environmental information and data embedded in geographic information system (GIS) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) software, and visualise the potential environmental impacts (i.e. air quality, noise, water quality, hazard to life, etc.) using an installed Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) system.
