This chapter frames the discussion of the role of building information modeling (BIM) in conceptual design and the quantitative sustainable analysis of building massing. SketchUp can be very useful as a tool within a broader BIM workflow, particularly when deployed in tandem with a robust BIM modeler that may lack easy 3D conceptualizing tools. In order to simplify historical cost analysis and help insure accuracy, BIM massing models of past projects may be constructed using Space objects, 3D primitives, Boolean solids, or even NURBS surfaces as appropriate. Even at the massing model stage, differentiating between south‐facing and non‐south‐facing glass in the BIM model is crucial for passive heating design. For climates with modest humidity, and especially those with significant diurnal temperature swings, thermal mass may be an effective passive cooling strategy. The chapter concludes with a relevant case study project.
