Learn more about BDP, a multi-disciplinary design practice committed to a high standard of integrated low energy design illustrated with key office projects. BDP is experienced with BIM on projects where the functionality has increased from simple plan and section extractions to more complex scheduling and area calculations.
A case study introduces the practical application of energy saving strategies to an award winning office project. Simple energy modeling has informed decision making in the concept stage.
The lessons learned are then applied to a second case study where BIM is used extensively to automate drawing production and scheduling, and to ensure design co-ordination using interference detection. Here, 3D information is exported into design modeling and analysis software. The carbon footprint measurement is explored.
Finally, you will learn more about where BIM has been successful, and where there has been difficulties integrating Bentley products with other analysis software.
Discover what BIM means for the way inter-disciplinary work will be undertaken in the future.
