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 our 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

7. © 2008 NIBS Simple Message for Owner BIM can deliver… –a facility sooner –a lower cost higher quality facility –a facility with few or no change orders –a significant reduction in RFI’s –a more energy efficient facility –a more sustainable facility –a more environmentally friendly facility

8. © 2008 NIBS Simple Message for Owner … but BIM is only the tool is the approach for success! Build building electronically before you build it physically Collect information once by authoritative source Re-use information throughout the facility lifecycle Cut out non-value added effort (waste) BIM IS GOOD and BIM is here now!

D.Collect data once and use it from that point forward, sustaining it as you do your work.

23. © 2008 NIBS Evolution of the Definition Wikipedia: The Building Information Model (BIM) is a set of information generated and maintained throughout the lifecycle of a building. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the process of generating and managing a building information model. IAI Nordic Chapter: BIM is an object-oriented, AEC-specific … digital representation of a building to facilitate [data] exchange and interoperability of information in digital format (Kiviniemi et al., 2007).

24. © 2008 NIBS 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.

45. © 2008 NIBS Creating Success The $399B US problem is not going to be solved with several million dollars. It should not and can not be solved entirely by practitioners We do need to demonstrate we are serious about change Please join individually and then get your organizations to join at the corporate level or more importantly to become sponsors Consider contributing 1% of your profit attributed to BIM to advancing the industry The Alliance will then be able to convince owners, industry and government leaders that this is a good investment
