Emerging Technologies
Generative Design
AI-powered algorithms explore and generate numerous design options based on specified parameters, optimizing for performance, cost, and sustainability.
Digital Twins
Virtual replicas of physical buildings and infrastructure that enable real-time monitoring, simulation, and predictive maintenance throughout the asset lifecycle.
Advanced Robotics and Automation
Robotics for automated construction, prefabrication, and on-site assembly, enhancing safety, speed, and precision in building processes.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (2021)
This bipartisan infrastructure law allocates over $1.2 trillion to upgrade and rebuild America's infrastructure, including roads, bridges, public transit, broadband, and clean energy projects.
This policy directly increases the demand for AEC design services for public sector projects, providing Elevar with significant opportunities in infrastructure and community-focused developments.
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) (2022)
The IRA includes significant tax credits and incentives for clean energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable building practices, aiming to accelerate decarbonization and green construction.
This policy incentivizes clients to invest in sustainable design, aligning with Elevar's expertise in sustainable design and potentially increasing demand for their LEED-accredited services.
Building Codes Updates (e.g., IECC 2021/2024)
States and local jurisdictions are increasingly adopting stricter energy efficiency and green building codes, such as the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2021 or 2024 editions, which mandate higher performance standards for new and renovated buildings.
These updates necessitate more sophisticated design and engineering solutions to meet compliance, playing into Elevar's strengths in energy efficiency and building enclosure expertise, while also requiring clients to make more upfront investments.
