| Description:
| Aims: Compare the impacts of a BIM supported design process with that of more traditional approaches. Learning Outcomes: On successful completion of this unit, students should be able to: * Understand how the current state-of-the-art in BIM is derived from researched, tried, tested and recommended industry practices supported by IT. * Categorise, by maturity, the various levels of BIM and the systems of data management and other characteristics that underpin each level, namely; sequencing, cost and environmental impact, including embodied emissions. * Evaluate the reasons and motivations behind the Government initiative for all publicly procured buildings and infrastructure projects to be delivered using BIM level 2 by 2016. * Assess the full implications of BIM across built environment sectors. * Critically appraise the documentation/guidance produced for industry in-use. * Appraise the implications of BIM on other building and infrastructure work (i.e. the remainder of the market). * Compare the implications of the BIM with traditional approach on selected low carbon exemplars. Skills: * Ability to evaluate the impact of regulatory documentation across disciplines and sectors. (T, F, A) * Ability to undertake independent work. (T, F, A) * Ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams. (T, F) * To communicate complex BIM themes to a multi-disciplinary audience. (T, F, A) * To map personal career development to future BIM initiatives. (T, F) Content: * The current state-of-the-art in BIM * UK Government 2016 BIM initiative * BIM & Energy Management of Buildings * GovernBIM across disciplines and sectors * Automating RegBIM to deliver BIM-based services to the construction industry. * BREEAMBIM data driven construction and management * Using CloudBIM to monitor the design team engagement interactions for optimal L-C project management. |
