Nowadays we have the ability to design and visualize
a building in three dimensions. This ability can help people to understand
their buildings better, such as improve building efficiency, reduced the associated
risks and control the budget, etc. BIM is a platform that can provide a
comprehensive and interactive assembly of the components in a building and BIM
model is closer to matching the real world building itself.
One important feature about BIM is important for improve buildings is because BIM can calculate the
most efficient array of pump size, duct size, etc by analyze the building throughout
the day. By increase energy efficiency to meet the requirement, designer could
use the data to translate a better design. This ability saves time for designer and help them to turn out a energy efficiency building. Compare to hundreds years ago, designers can only use 2D drawings, they can not design a efficience building like BIM does.
The other
reason of BIM can improve buildings is BIM can measure things. Some high-tech
building owners currently require that the building energy model be maintained
and updated throughout construction and building commissioning. To measure and
monitor the energy use is a very important ability that BIM can provide. It has
been documented that providing building users with the measuring and monitoring
of their impact on building energy has resulted in changed behaviors and
reduced energy consumption. Measuring and monitoring of energy use provides the
information for users to make the proper decisions to reduce a building's
energy use.
The last
reason of why BIM can improve Buildings is BIM can do a long term job than designers
and the construction managers. Designers and managers may be responsible for
buildings for one to two years, but they do not have the responsibilities for
the life time of the building's operation, maintenance, and renovations. But BIM
can provide users with information on their energy use, environmental benefits
to the site and community and more. Finally, the application of BIM, which
could provide more information on how buildings are used and perform over their
life cycle, will be invaluable in the design and construction of new buildings
for the future.
