The Green Impact Report

Quick take: From youth activism to spearheading digital twin innovation at Nemetschek, Andreas Steyer reveals how technology is transforming building sustainability and why trusting design data is crucial for the industry's green future.

Meet Your Fellow Sustainability Champion

Based in Berlin, Andreas Steyer leads the global go-to-market strategy for Nemetschek's digital twin solution, DTwin.

With experience spanning software development, product management at Procore, and co-authoring a book on BIM and circular economy, Andreas brings a unique perspective to how technology accelerates building sustainability.

His journey from advising youth initiatives to shaping the future of construction tech demonstrates how diverse experiences drive innovation.

🌱Breaking Ground on Better Building

In this episode, Andreas Steyer revolutionizes traditional construction approaches:

Key Insight #1: Bridging the Trust Gap with Open Platform Philosophy

  • The Challenge: Construction teams don't trust architects' data and start from scratch when operating buildings

  • The Solution: Create an open digital twin platform that accepts multiple data formats (BIM, point clouds, photogrammetry, 2D drawings)

  • ROI: Prevents waste of valuable design and construction data, enabling seamless lifecycle management

Key Insight #2: Real-Time Energy Monitoring and Predictive Simulations

  • The Challenge: Buildings consume energy inefficiently without real-time feedback

  • The Solution: Digital twins that monitor energy consumption in real-time and simulate future scenarios

  • ROI: Optimizes energy usage, extends building system lifespans, and tracks emissions for decarbonization goals

Key Insight #3: Enabling Circular Economy Through Data Connectivity

  • The Challenge: Building materials end up as waste instead of being reused

  • The Solution: Digital twins that connect data across projects to facilitate material reuse

  • ROI: Reduces construction waste, lowers embodied carbon, and maximizes resource efficiency

Sustainable Soundbite

"Buildings are one of the areas where you can make the biggest difference in shaping a sustainable future." – Andreas Steyer

Your Green Building Action Plan

Transform your next project with these steps:

  1. This Week: Evaluate your current building data strategy – are you losing valuable information between phases?

  2. This Quarter: Start a pilot project using digital twin technology to bridge design-construction-operations gaps

  3. This Year: Implement a circular economy strategy using connected data to track reusable building components
