3. #Tweckle me!! @jvandezande • Develop an understanding of open BIM standards • Learn how to develop high-quality models suitable for sharing with others • Establish a measurable approach to implementing BIM workflows Learning Objectives

4. Why Smarter Models? ?

7. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S Good, Bad & Ugly Owner Requirements Standards vs. Requirements • Physical data • Material characteristics • Scheduled equipment product data as amended by installed product data • Construction specifications “If there is no campus standard and guideline in use, comply with the recommendations and guidelines of the United States National CAD Standard and the National BIM Standards, as currently amended.” “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” United Artists, 1966

8. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • Good, Bad & Ugly Owner Requirements • Indiana University • Dept. of Veterans Affairs • NATSPEC (Australia) • Coordination • Program Validation • Equipment Validation • Energy Analysis • Facility Management Standards vs. Requirements “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” United Artists, 1966

9. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • What's up with NBIMS? • Focused on interoperability • Defining the 'finish line' • What about the beginning? Standards vs. Requirements

10. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • IFC and COBie Standards vs. Requirements

11. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • IFC and COBie Standards vs. Requirements Early Design Stage Construction Documents

12. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • IFC and COBie Standards vs. Requirements Product Installation Commissioning

13. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • Project Planning (BEP, PxP…) Standards vs. Requirements

14. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S Paper vs. BIM Visual cues about state of development

15. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S Precision Paper vs. BIM

16. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S Deliverables Paper vs. BIM

17. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S The Disclaimer This model looks great so you can look at it but you can’t use it for anything or rely on it for anything which includes, but is not limited to, everything. If you use it for anything anyway then you have to pay my lawyers anything they want if I get sued for anything related to your use of the model for anything. Have a nice day. Response?

18. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • Disclaimer approach: • Some of it’s not reliable so don’t rely on any of it. • Specified-Use Approach: • Some of it’s not reliable so only rely on what I say you can Response?

19. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S 100 Estimate it. 200 Specify it. 300 Buy it. 400 Build/Install it. 500 Operate it. DETAIL = Input* DEVELOPMENT = Reliability * Usually more Input than Reliability LOD Definitions

20. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • No correspondence with design phase • No such thing as an “LOD ### model” Use of LOD's

21. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S LOD Catalog: Current Examples

22. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S LOD Catalog: Current Examples

23. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S LOD Catalog: Current Examples

24. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S LOD Catalog: Current Examples LOD300 LOD200

25. MODEL DEVELOPMENT MEASURED APPROACH STANDARDS & REQ’S • BIM Certified program • How do you measure success? • Back to NBIMS…standardizing BIM uses Measured Implementation

26. MODEL DEVELOPMENT MEASURED APPROACH STANDARDS & REQ’S • Model organization • Element authorship • Quality control Design Authoring

27. MODEL DEVELOPMENT MEASURED APPROACH STANDARDS & REQ’S Programming (Validation)

28. MODEL DEVELOPMENT MEASURED APPROACH STANDARDS & REQ’S • Defined parameters, database procedures • QC = Program compliance reporting Programming (Validation)

29. MODEL DEVELOPMENT MEASURED APPROACH STANDARDS & REQ’S • Procedures • Clash Tests • Tolerances • QC = Resolved clashesto planned tolerances 3D Coordination

30. MODEL DEVELOPMENT MEASURED APPROACH STANDARDS & REQ’S • Climate & Site • Massing & Orientation • Daylighting • Enclosure Optimization Energy Analysis (Conceptual)

31. MEASURED APPROACH MODEL DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS & REQ’S • Planning versus plans • Don’t just “do BIM” • Measure successful objectives • Get involved with open standards Conclusion Plans are worthless. Planning is essential.  - Dwight D. Eisenhower
