Practice Integrated Sustainable Design with BIM
Meet the challenge of integrating Building Information Modeling and sustainability with this in-depth guide, which pairs these two revolutionary movements to create environmentally friendly design through a streamlined process. Written by an award-winning team that has gone beyond theory to lead the implementation of Green BIM projects, this comprehensive reference features practical strategies, techniques, and real-world expertise so that you can create sustainable BIM projects, no matter what their scale. From basic concepts, to sophisticated test methodologies, to improved workflows, this timely book offers a wealth of information you can implement right away.
*
Learn why BIM is an important tool for sustainability
*
Understand when and how to evaluate the effect of green resources on your projects
*
Understand Building Information Modeling, from concept to construction
*
See how to best use 3D geometric models instead of 2D CAD designs
*
Factor sustainability into the design process, leveraging free environmental resources
*
Set up a BIM model and identify material quantities to figure upstream impact and downstream consequences
*
Transform traditional processes into new workflows that integrate the entire design team and emphasize green solutions from the start
