© 2008 NIBS What is BIM?

© 2008 NIBS Building Information Modeling (BIM) A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward. United States National BIM Standard V1, P1 Jan 2008

© 2008 NIBS Three Areas of Orientation Marketing – Getting you to come in Audience – Those paying to see the show Backstage – Those who put the show on

© 2008 NIBS Marketing: Getting People Involved Using BIM will help: –Enhance LEED, Lean, LCC and VE –Improve and validate energy usage –Create sustainable facilities –Reduce use of raw materials –Create “zero carbon” facilities –Cut life-cycle cost –Deliver a facility sooner –Reduce overall cost –Provide visual understanding of final product –Allow for multi faceted analysis

© 2008 NIBS Facilities consume 40% of our energy 65.2% of total U.S. elec. consumption Facilities contribute 40% of the emissions Facilities contribute 20% of land fills 40% of global raw materials are consumed by buildings – 75% by all facilities U.S. is no longer the worlds largest consumer…but we did not slow down, Source: AIA-Architects and Climate Change Each Year 5 B SF of New Construction - 5 B SF of Renovation B SF of Demolition % of the built environment in the US will be either new or renovated We must act now Marketing: Shaping The Business Case CII/LCI - $1.288 trillion US ($4.8 trillion Worldwide) D&C industry with possible 57% waste 26% Manuf.) – Even at 31% waste it equals $400B annually NIST in 2004 identified $15.8B lost to lack of interoperability

© 2008 NIBS Audience Many tools are here today to accomplish BIM Building modeling is prevalent today – BIM is not Good progress in planning, design, construction, QTO, and scheduling Life cycle estimating is not yet available Multifaceted analysis is in its infancy Usage is expanding rapidly – but some is just hype openBIM is possible but not all software products successfully support it yet. McGraw-Hill Construction Smart Market Report on BIM Usage is a good resource for metrics

© 2008 NIBS Backstage buildingSMART alliance is developing the US National BIM Standard buildingSMART International is developing Industry Foundation Class - IFC’s are mature and sustained (ISO IFC 2x4) –Model Views actively being developed –Information Delivery Manuals are being developed –Implementers Support Group is active Visit for more information including link to buildingSMART International

© 2008 NIBS Alliance Goals For Today Build facilities electronically and completely before we build them physically. “Build a model then build the model” –Reduces risk and therefore litigation –Reduces RFI’s and change orders –Allows more activities to occur in parallel thus speeding delivery –Provides better estimates –Delivers true as-built Courtesy Dennis Shelden – Gehry Technologies

© 2008 NIBS Alliance Goals for Tomorrow Collect data once and use from inception onward and allow information to flow –Authoritative source collects information and records metadata –Information assurance is in place to protect intellectual property –Multi faceted analysis is supported by software –Facility management uses information for operations and sustainment –All facets of the lifecycle are supported

© 2008 NIBS Alliance Strategic Plan Goals 1.Build Team - Create a strong industry presence 2.Define Scope - Connect major participants of the building industry in a stakeholder activity model 3.Create Candidates - Implement and support coordination of candidate open standards and guidance 4.Produce Standard - Develop a consensus infrastructure to advance open industry standards for interoperability and collaboration

© 2008 NIBS Business Case

© 2008 NIBS Business Case: Letterman Digital Arts Center “Despite numerous design layout changes that were required by Lucas Film Ltd. due to company restructuring, the LDAC project was completed on time and below the estimated budget….over two hundred design and construction conflicts were identified, most of which were corrected before construction, resulting in an estimated savings of over $10 million on this $350 million project.” Courtesy of AECbytes "Building the Future" Article (September 30, 2006) Building Owners Driving BIM: The "Letterman Digital Arts Center" StoryMieczyslaw (Mitch) Boryslawski, Associate AIA Founder, View By View, Inc.

© 2008 NIBS Lucas Films - School of Cinematic Art’s at USC The donor’s vision for the building: Architectural function and aesthetics are the highest priority. The building should exist for the next 100 years. All design should be coordinated through the use of a “3D” model. At completion, USC will have a fully integrated BIM model.
