WHY MOVE TO BIM Introduction to BIM

“WHY MOVE TO BIM? ” Introduction to BIM and the Deke Smith, Executive Director January 28, 2008 National Institute of Building Sciences International Alliance for Interoperability

Simple Message BIM is the tool building. SMART is the approach • Build building electronically before you build it physically • Collect information once and re-use throughout the facility lifecycle • Cut out non-value added effort (waste)

Simple Message • building. SMART will deliver… – a facility sooner – a lower cost higher quality facility – a facility with few or no change orders – a more energy efficient facility – a more sustainable facility – a more environmentally friendly facility If you have to leave early remember these two pages and you will be able to tell people what you heard about tonight. If you want to see how we are going to do it then hang on tight!

Agenda • Tonight – building. SMART 101 – – – National Institute for Building Sciences Why change now? Building Information Modeling building. SMART International building. SMART alliance / building. SMART North America – Business Process Change – Summary – How to get involved • Next Month – What is possible today – Case studies in success

About National Institute of Building Sciences • 1974 - NIBS - Public Law 93 -383, Sect. 809 – Bridge between Private and Public Construction – Non-governmental – Unique 501 c 3 Organization • 1992 - Facility Information Council Mission – "improve the performance of facilities over their full life-cycle by fostering common and open standards and an integrated lifecycle information model for the A/E/C & FM industry. " • NIBS Related Products – – – Construction Criteria Base Whole Building Design Guide National CAD Standard National BIM Standard

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 the 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

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.

BIM - What is in it for me? 1. A more valuable product for your clients 2. Higher quality facilities 3. Lower energy usage 4. Shorter delivery time 5. Lower lifecycle costs 6. Ability to offer more services 7. Fewer change orders and RFI’s 8. Better environmental stewardship 9. Supports a more sustainable product 10. A documented record of facilities and infrastructures prior to, during and after construction.
