A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Building information modeling (BIM) is an unfortunate acronym, but one are now stuck with it as it is the only universally recognised term for talking about digital information modelling environments. BIM is not just about buildings; it takes in any kind of built, made or constructed asset, such as infrastructure, a power station, a tube station, a gas pipe, an oil rig, a shop, a plane, even a space station. BIM is truly about creating, maintaining and using information and data, seamlessly and efficiently, by all stakeholders over the entire lifecycle. This includes brief, concept, design, procurement, commissioning, refurbishment alteration and extension, and through to eventual recycling. In addition to the basic 3D design packages, there are additional plug‐ins and various packages that can use the model to simulate various conditions, such as lighting levels, fire performance, the movement of people‐including lift simulations and queuing patterns, thermal losses and transmittance, carbon emissions and energy consumption.
