© 2008 NIBS Each Year 5 Billion SF of New Construction 5 Billion SF of Renovation 1.75 Billion of Demolition NIST in 2004 identified $15.8B lost to lack of interoperability 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 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 Source: AIA-Architects and Climate Change U.S. is no longer the worlds largest consumer…but we did not slow down, by % of the built environment in the US will be either new or renovated We must act now Shaping The Business Case

© 2008 NIBS What is a Building Information Model? National BIM Standard Definition of 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. – A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in the BIM process to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder. The BIM is a shared digital representation founded on open standards for interoperability.

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.
