Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Practice Integrated Sustainable Design with BIM

Meet the challenge of integrating Building Information Modeling and sustainability with this in-depth guide, which pairs these two revolutionary movements to create environmentally friendly design through a streamlined process. Written by an award-winning team that has gone beyond theory to lead the implementation of Green BIM projects, this comprehensive reference features practical strategies, techniques, and real-world expertise so that you can create sustainable BIM projects, no matter what their scale. From basic concepts, to sophisticated test methodologies, to improved workflows, this timely book offers a wealth of information you can implement right away.

  • Learn why BIM is an important tool for sustainability

  • Understand when and how to evaluate the effect of green resources on your projects

  • Understand Building Information Modeling, from concept to construction

  • See how to best use 3D geometric models instead of 2D CAD designs

  • Factor sustainability into the design process, leveraging free environmental resources

  • Set up a BIM model and identify material quantities to figure upstream impact and downstream consequences

  • Transform traditional processes into new workflows that integrate the entire design team and emphasize green solutions from the start

Book News Annotation:

This guide pairs Building Information Modeling with sustainability to create environmentally friendly designs in a streamlined process. Krygiel and Nies (both AIA, LEED AP) write progressive chapters on introducing green, Building Information Modeling, integrated design teams, methodology for sustainable solutions, sustainable Building Information Modeling building form and systems, and the future of BIM and sustainable design. The title is illustrated throughout in black- and-white with charts, graphs, designs, and photographs; insets in the text tell of particular case studies. For practicing architects or advanced architectural students. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

Meet the challenge of integrating Building Information Modeling and sustainability with this in-depth guide, which pairs these two revolutionary movements to create environmentally friendly design through a streamlined process. Written by an award-winning team that has gone beyond theory to lead the implementation of Green BIM projects, this comprehensive reference features practical strategies, techniques, and real-world expertise so that you can create sustainable BIM projects, no matter what their scale.

Synopsis:

Go green with BIM with this timely and up-close look at two of the fastest growing movements in the architecture, engineering and construction industry: sustainable design and building information modeling. Expert authors and professional architects Eddy Krygiel and Bradley Nies have created the ideal reference for AEC professionals wishing to incorporate green practices into their projects. This book begins with an overview of sustainable design and BIM, discussing how the design and construction industry has arrived at a crossroads and why we need to look to new approaches and methodologies to solve the problems we've inherited over the course of time. Because implementing these methodologies can be drastic changes in your firm's culture and approach to design and delivery, the authors put forth best practices regarding workflow, integrating project teams, and an order of operations approach to sustainable design. You'll also learn core concepts and gain a deeper understanding of keys to sustainability in building design, touching on building envelope, systems, materiality, and orientation. Whether you've had experience with sustainable design and BIM or are still a little green, this book will help you advance your practice and move you forward to a more sustainable future.
