Why Change Now? • NIST in 2004 identified $15. 8 B lost to lack of interoperability $4. 8 trillion 2008 ✗ • $3 trillion industry with possible 30% waste • 40% of global raw materials are consumed by buildings • Facilities consume 40% of our energy • 65. 2% of total U. S. electricity consumption • Facilities contribute 40% of the emissions • Facilities contribute 20% of land fills • U. S. is no longer the worlds largest Source: CII & LCI 2004 consumer…but we did not slow down © 2008 NIBS

The Math This Does Not Include Operations and Sustainment, Occupation, Renovations, Air Quality Impacts, etc. – 90+% of Total Source: CII & LCI 2004 • Worldwide Construction Industry 2008 = $4. 8 T (Source ENR) • US Construction Industry 2008 = $1. 288 T (Source ENR) • 57% - 26% = 31% • 31% of $1. 288 T = $399 B Annually © 2008 NIBS

The Owners View • Our industry is an impediment to the owner attaining product delivery • We don’t communicate well – 90% can’t read drawings – Typically includes owner • Any time we spend is taking away from their bottom line / profit © 2008 NIBS

A Visual Reason For BIM Daniel Libeskind’s Denver Art Museum 2 D 3 D

Simple Message for Owner BIM can deliver… – a facility sooner – a lower cost higher quality facility – a facility with few or no change orders – a significant reduction in RFI’s – a more energy efficient facility – a more sustainable facility – a more environmentally friendly facility © 2008 NIBS

Simple Message for Owner … but BIM is only the tool is the approach for success! • Build building electronically before you build it physically • Collect information once by authoritative source • Re-use information throughout the facility lifecycle • Cut out non-value added effort (waste) BIM IS GOOD and BIM is here now! © 2008 NIBS

Scope of BIM A. From the smallest part rolled up to the world or portfolio view B. From inception onward in the lifecycle of a facility C. Include all stakeholders that use facility information from the designers to the occupants. D. Collect data once and use it from that point forward, sustaining it as you do your work. © 2008 NIBS

Approach 1. Scope out area of responsibilities identify authoritative sources and users of information 2. Begin to develop standards and organize information flows 3. Practitioners demonstrate willingness to change 4. Practitioners fund development of a plan 5. Base plan on value of energy and sustainability savings and eliminating non-value added effort 6. Develop estimate for accomplishment of the plan 7. Seek funding from beneficiaries of the outcome – Federal and state government – Private sector owners and their associations 8. Execute plan 9. Monitor progress 10. Adjust as necessary © 2008 NIBS

Source of Confusion • As a noun: Building Information Model – An instance of a populated data model of buildings that contains multi-disciplinary data specific to a particular building which they describe unambiguously • As a verb: Building Information Modeling – The act/process of creating a Building Information Model (BIM – a noun) • Building information modeling is a process that requires the availability of – A data model of buildings – Information about a (specific) building – Software to populate the data model with that information © 2008 NIBS

Evolution of the Definition • Wikipedia: The Building Information Model (BIM) is a set of information generated and maintained throughout the lifecycle of a building. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating and managing a building information model. • IAI Nordic Chapter: BIM is an object-oriented, AEC-specific … digital representation of a building to facilitate [data] exchange and interoperability of information in digital format (Kiviniemi et al. , 2007). © 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. © 2008 NIBS

Creating Success • The $399 B US problem is not going to be solved with several million dollars. • It should not and can not be solved entirely by practitioners • We do need to demonstrate we are serious about change • Please join individually and then get your organizations to join at the corporate level or more importantly to become sponsors • Consider contributing 1% of your profit attributed to BIM to advancing the industry • The Alliance will then be able to convince owners, industry and government leaders that this is a good investment © 2008 NIBS
