5. © 2009 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

7. © 2009 NIBS Marketing: Getting People Involved Using BIM will: –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 facility sooner –Reduce overall cost –Provide visual understanding of final product –Allow for multi faceted analysis

8. © 2009 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 - 1.75 B SF of Demolition 2035 - 75% 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

9. © 2009 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

11. © 2009 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 16739 IFC 2x4) –Model Views actively being developed –Information Delivery Manuals are being developed –Implementers Support Group is active Visit www.buildingSMARTalliance.org for more information including link to buildingSMART International

12. © 2009 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

13. © 2009 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

14. © 2009 NIBS Introduction to: The Alliance

15. © 2009 NIBS The Alliance Vision A global environment where all participants can readily and transparently share, apply and maintain information about facilities and infrastructure to enhance quality and economy of design, construction, operation and maintenance Mission Improve all aspects of the facility and infrastructure lifecycle by promoting collaboration, technology, integrated practices, and open standards

38. © 2009 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.

50. © 2009 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.

51. © 2009 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.
