1. 1 SESSION NO.: R1.31 THURSDAY, March 6, 2008 ROOM NO.: 331 Overview Dana K. “Deke” Smith, FAIA Executive Director, buildingSMART alliance

2. 2 About National Institute of Building Sciences 1974 - NIBS - Public Law 93-383, Sect. 809 –Bridge between Private and Public Construction –Non-governmental – Unique 501c3 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 life- cycle 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

3. 3 Agenda Scope of BIM –Open Interoperability –Full Lifecycle Implementation –Attaining Lowest Overall Cost –Optimum Sustainability –Energy Conservation –Environmental stewardship buildingSMART alliance™ How to be Part of the Solution

4. 4 Simple Message BIM is a tool buildingSMART 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)

5. 5 Simple Message buildingSMART 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 responsible facility All these have been demonstrated they are not empty promises… All these have been demonstrated they are not empty promises…

6. 6 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.

12. 12 Why Change Now? NIST in 2004 identified $15.8B lost to lack of interoperability $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 consumer…but we did not slow down $4.8 trillion 2008 ✗ Source: CII & LCI 2004

13. 13 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.
