Advanced Building Modeling Workshop

Catalog description

This course builds upon the Building Information Model concepts introduced in 120A/220A and illustrates how BIM modeling tools are used to design, analyze, and model building systems including structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection. Course covers the physical principles, design criteria, and design strategies for each system and explores processes and tools for modeling those systems and analyzing their performance.Topics include: building envelopes, access systems, structural systems modeling and analysis, mechanical / HVAC systems, plumbing and fire protection systems, electrical systems, and systems integration/coordination.
