7. © NIBS 2007 What is the buildingSMART Alliance? North America’s focused response to the worldwide effort… to provide the basis for culture change across the real property industry to document the business case and return on investment to coordinate training and education across the industry to improve customers understanding of the delivered product to create an industry coordinating entity to link efforts to provide a coordinated voice for users, suppliers and vendors in the industry to minimize use of energy and hazardous materials to coordinate BIM research and development to provide a common approach to implementing standards

11. © NIBS 2007 Building Information Modeling as a Tool to build a facility virtually to simulate its construction and lifecycle operation prior to building it physically to work out construct problems to predict and monitor energy performance to reduce energy usage to examine material sustainability used in the facility over its lifecycle to coordinate construction efforts to reduce delivery time to minimize or eliminate the waste of change orders to improve environmental impact of the facility – internally and externally and over the lifecycle including disposal to enter data once when it is created as part of the business process then retain it for use later in the lifecycle BIM is the tool that will provide us the opportunity…

19. © NIBS 2007 BIM Definition 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.

26. © NIBS 2007 Facility Information in 10 years We will look at the lifecycle cost of the facility –We will view the facility as having a 100+ year life –We will keep people and process in context with facility costs Operations will receive a model from design/construction stage We will have models for existing facilities to capture facility information as it is learned Facility models will be maintained as part of doing business Facilities needs will be tied to mission Maintenance of systems will be based on priority across the portfolio Facility performance including energy usage will be monitored to ensure it meets design specs Building models will be more accurate because of links to fabrication and supply / manufacturers The authoritative source will maintain the model and audits will be in place Access to model information will be controlled and based on need to know We will have accurate costs and change orders will be at a minimum Facilities will be delivered earlier Facilities will be more sustainable, energy efficient and more environmentally friendly
