Title: Integrated Design Lab: Using BIM for Sustainable Design
Instructor: Jon Gardzelewski
Course Description: How does Building Information Modeling (BIM) enable engineers and architects to design better-performing buildings from the beginning? This lab focuses on an integrated design process using BIM and simulation software. We will work through examples for a hands-on understanding of best practices for modeling and analysis. The examples include a skin-load-dominated and an internal-load-dominated building to provide exposure to a variety of building types and analysis issues. Get your hands dirty working with several software programs, including Revit®, Autodesk® Revit MEP, Autodesk Ecotect®, Autodesk Green Building Studio®, Autodesk 3ds Max® Design and more. This lab includes both technical how-to training and the use of outside resources to aid in the design analysis process.
