BIM FOR DESIGN
BIM‐authoring software applications combine three-or
four-dimensional models with imbedded intelligent building objects related in
a contextual database. As a result of BIM’s data-rich 3D modelling, various
design disciplines can extract and manipulate relevant tabular and graphical building
views (reports and drawings, respectively) (Eastman, et al. 2008). BIM is less
commonly thought of as a design tool, yet the ability to rapidly derive
alternate, information‐rich
views of building models can yield an efficient and effective design process
(Laiserin 2010). It might be borne in mind that even “constructiondocuments”
are not fabrication documents, but intended to convey design intent only
(Simpson and Grant 2005A and 2005B).
BIM is well suited for this
task. Moreover, the energy performance of smaller buildings is far more influenced
by site and climate than their larger counterparts. Climate and how we design
for it has a much larger impact on a small building's energy consumption and
performance .Good quantitative data is essential for architects to make more
intelligent choices.
