Building Information Modeling

3. Uses of Building information Modeling (BIM) BIM is a 3-D model process used in the engineering, architecture and construction with tools to manage the project effectively in planning, designing, constructing and operational phase. At every stage of project development, BIM plays a vital role, in planning BIM is used for cost estimation; phase planning, site analysis and programming. In the design phase, BIM used for structural analysis, lightning analysis, mechanical analysis, LEED evaluation and code validation. In construction site utilization planning, construction system designing, printing the buildings in 3D format the project management professional highly depend on the BIM products. The high-end application of BIM is in disaster…

INTRODUCTION Existing inefficient building stock contributes high volume of energy consumption, and 85% of the predicted building stock in the year 2050 is already built [36]. Many governments and relevant communities make a lot of effort on the decarbonising in the construction industry, and BIM is at the center of controversy. BIM based technology to enhance the energy performance have improved in short period intensively over the last decade [39][43], mainly been used in the early stage of…

Similar to many historical buildings in Europe and around the world, building facades are of special interest in Historic Jeddah, as the details of windows, balconies, stonework and ornaments give each historic building its individual character (Böhm et al., 2007). Indeed, the historic district of Jedda has a long history that goes back to since 3000 years ago. This historic destorct includes several heritage buildings “around 600”. These heritage monument have been constructed since 350 years…

evacuation and safety. For example, people often delay evacuation to fight the fire, gather valuables, or attempt to rescue others in the building (Kuligowski, 2008). Case studies of tragedy fires demonstrate that these standardized calculations have underestimated the necessary evacuation times resulting in buildings that have erroneous safety designs which are due to faulty assumptions and the lack of acknowledgment of fire-related human…

Enrollment Management Division. The Marketing Committee model, also known as the Enrollment Management Committee model, is considered an introductory enrollment management organizational model because it does not require authority or additional financing, and is created to raise staff and faculty awareness of student enrollment and retention efforts. Serving an advisory capacity, the committee usually consists of staff from enrollment, financial aid, student affairs, and members of faculty. The…

the ability to modify when results are affected. In order to take this strategy into consideration, firms must provide their insights about customers, adapt to business practices and engage with customers. If firms don’t use predictive information to change the future, then they are just wasting their time (Gualtieri & Curran, 2015, p. 2). There are predictive…

MONDAY This morning I received a call from the subcontractor who is to provide the floating floors for the project. The subcontractor asked about how to view the most recent construction documents. I directed him to our file transfer protocol (FTP) site, which houses all of the documents that have been issued, approved requests for information (RFIs), and submittals. After checking the site to make sure the subcontractor was set up on the site, I was able to give him the information he needed to…

growing country. Cities became more populated, resulting in larger buildings, and the risk of numerous fire fatalities increased due to building construction design. To this day building design plays a significant role in the ability of its occupants to exit safely during and emergency. The design of new buildings is influenced as a result of human behaviors during past fire emergency. For many years, engineers and architects have believed that when an alarm sounds occupants will immediately…
