Beyond the What of BIM and Onto the

Beyond the “What” of BIM, and Onto the “How” of BIM Deke Smith, FAIA, Executive Director, building. SMART alliance January 13, 2009 National Institute of Building Sciences International Alliance for Interoperability

National Institute of Building Sciences • 1974 - Public Law 93 -383, Sect. 809 – Bridge between Private and Public Construction – Non-governmental – Unique 501 c 3 Organization – Unique in that it represents all disciplines in industry • Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Insurers, Unions, Manufacturers, Legal, Housing, Vendors, Owners, Consumers, State & Federal Government, Codes & Standards, and Testing – building.

Agenda • The problem • The solution • The Strategy – – Architects Engineers

Shaping The Business Case Each Year • 5 Billion SF of New Construction • 5 Billion SF of Renovation • 1. 75 Billion of Demolition • NIST in 2004 identified $15. 8 B 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% U. S. is no longer the worlds largest consumer…but we did not slow waste it equals $400 B 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 down, by 2035 - 75% of the built environment in the US will be either new or renovated We must act now Source: AIA-Architects and Climate Change © 2008 NIBS

Building Information Modeling • Owner and Occupant – Be able to walk into an electronic model and know what they are getting – Be able to glean more information from the Model than from the facility itself • Designer and Contractor – Be able to simulate and visualize – Be able to identify problems before they are physical • Asset Manager – Be able to visually identify issues and focus on true problems – Be able to continuously commission and determine performance – Get top dollar for re-sale by validating performance © 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

Implementation Strategy • Owner – Make informed decisions • Designer – Know that you are part of a Designer large team • Contractor – Tell subs if they don’t model Contractor they install last • Operations – Continuously commission to Operations ensure performance • Sustainment – Use lifecycle cost model Sustainment and MTBF for maintenance © 2008 NIBS
