Building Component

Building information modeling (BIM) is a new method of dealing with the design and information of building component, this project created Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in BIM with parametric design, it is a new way to study and analysis BIPV. In BIM models, all information about the building components and its lifecycle are included. Therefore the study utilized this important characteristic of BIM to explore its application in BIPV design. The author used BIM software Revit to develop a BIPV building model as the parametric prototype and programmed with panels’ information in C# 2008 to correlate the angle of photovoltaic (PV) panels with sun altitude, and finally applied application programming interface (API) in Revit to control these panels’ angle by the sun path.

Reinforcement Bar

Structural building information modeling (S-BIM) for reinforced concrete walls based on parametric technique has studied. There are structural analysis and design packages for reinforced concrete structures. 3D BIM platforms which are recently developed and widely adopted in the construction industry are mostly experiencing a difficulty in interoperability with structural analysis and design packages. The modeling of reinforcement placement in the reinforced concrete structures can not be performed using current BIM platforms based on the result of structural analysis and design. This study develops the algorithm and implementation of integrated reinforcement bar placement system by creating a database that stores the results of structural analysis and design so that overall reinforced concrete model including re-bar can be built. Utilization of S-BIM can reduce the time of engineering, the production of working drawing and shop drawing.

Civil engineering is considered to be the area with the highest occurrence of occupational injuries. Workers perform plenty of activities that endanger their health and put them at risk of occupational injuries and diseases. There are many convincing proves that dangerous risk situations appear already in the early stages of project proposals. On the basis of this fact we can estimate that one of the most effective methods of preventing and reducing occupational injuries is elimination of potential risk at the very beginning, i.e. already in the architectural design. Information models BIM enable us to simulate the overall situation of the project both structurally and visually. Thanks to this fact we can prevent multiple problems occurring not only during the realisation phase, but during the usage of buildings as well.

ResumenEl cambio de paradigma que representa BIM -Building Information Modeling- en el proceso edificatorio implica la necesidad de dominar tanto metodología como herramientas propias. La metodología BIM es/ será también una demanda clave a la que se enfrentan/ enfrentarán los profesionales que desempeñan su labor dentro del amplio panorama laboral que proporciona la titulación de Grado en Ingeniero de Edificación y, en consecuencia, un reto que debería trasladarse ineludiblemente a ámbitos docentes. La Escuela Politécnica de Cuenca -EPCu-, como parte de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha -UCLM-, ha interpretado esta coyuntura como una oportunidad única para repensar no tanto el qué enseñamos en el Grado en Ingeniería de Edificación -GIE- sino el cómo lo hacemos. En este sentido la potencia de la metodología BIM posibilita que pueda acabar vertebrando el plan de estudios y condicionando las estrategias/ metodologías docentes utilizadas. Dentro del programa de implantación BIM de la EPCu se ha priorizado, como primer paso y durante los dos últimos años, una estrategia formativa del profesorado -abierto también al alumnado- y una reconfiguración de equipos/ aplicaciones informáticas/ flujos de trabajo dando prioridad al software libre o educacional. Paralelamente, a menor escala y hasta que sea posible la interconexión de las distintas asignaturas, se ha propiciado la experimentación docente a nivel de asignaturas sin alteración del actual plan de estudios. Este es el caso de Proyectos Técnicos -PPTT-, asignatura de sexto semestre de GIE con un marcado carácter metodológico, donde se viene ensayando desde los dos últimos cursos con la potencia gráfica de las aplicaciones propias del ecosistema BIM como herramientas analíticas útiles a la determinación técnica de las soluciones constructivas.AbstractIM -Building Information Modeling- as a paradigm change in the building process implies the need to master both methodology and tools. BIM methodology is/ will also be a key demanded in the professional world of a Building Engineering and, consequently, a challenge that should inevitably be transferred to teaching areas. The Escuela Politécnica de Cuenca -EPCu-, a part of Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha -UCLM-, interpreted this situation as a unique opportunity to rethink not so much what we teach in the Degree in Engineering of Building -GIE- but how we do it. In this sense we believe that BIM methodology can configure the main teaching strategies/ methodologies used in GIE. As a first step in EPCu's BIM implementation program during the last two years a training strategy for teachers has been prioritized -also open to students- and a reconfiguration of equipment/ computer applications/ workflows giving priority to free or educational software. At the same time, on a smaller scale and until the interconnection of the different subjects is possible, the teaching experimentation has been promoted at individual subjects without alteration of the current educational plan. Proyectos Técnicos -PPTT- is a subject placed in the sixth semester of GIE, with a clear methodological character and for the last two years we are working with the graphic power of the BIM applications as analytical tools for the technical determination of constructive solutions.

The building sector has a significant potential to reduce the material resource demand needed for construction and therefore, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Digitalization can help to make use of this potential and improve sustainability throughout the entire building’s life cycle. One way to address this potential is through the integration of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into the building process by employing Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM can reduce the effort needed to carry out an LCA, and therefore, facilitate the integration into the building process. A review of current industry practice and scientific literature shows that companies are lacking the incentive to apply LCA. If applied, there are two main approaches. Either the LCA is performed in a simplified way at the beginning of the building process using imprecise techniques, or it is done at the very end when all the needed information is available, but it is too late for decision-making. One reason for this is the lack of methods, workflows and tools to implement BIM-LCA integration over the whole building development. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to develop an integrated BIM-LCA method for the entire building process by relating it to an established workflow. To avoid an additional effort for practitioners, an existing structure for cost estimation in the Swiss context is used. The established method is implemented in a tool and used in a case study in Switzerland to test the approach. The results of this study show that LCA can be performed continuously in each building phase over the entire building process using existing Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques for cost estimation. The main benefit of this approach is that it simplifies the application of LCA in the building process and therefore gives incentives for companies to apply it. Moreover, the re-work caused by the need for re-entering data and the usage of many different software tools that characterize most of the current LCA practices is minimized. Furthermore, decision-making, both at the element and building levels, is supported.
