The aim of the course is to provide students with the essential knowledge of the methodological use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) as a design method based on the exchange of information between tools and between people (interoperability). Students, working in team, will deal of the modelling of a building using an integrated approach paying attention to sustainability, comparing different construction technologies and related costs.

To pass the exam, the student must demonstrate: Knowledge and understanding • Have memorized the essential concepts of the methodological approach of integrated digital modelling for the comparison of different technological solutions. • To be able to compare contents, tools and methods for the BIM-based design process. Competencies and skills • Master the interoperable management of project data. • Being able to work in a team to achieve a common goal. Judgment and Approach • To be able to use the critical thinking to develop a project from general to detail by interpreting information from different disciplines. • Demonstrate creativity in setting up a technical sheet to summarize the project developed and the work-flow used.

Knowledge of the basic contents of technical drawing.

The course program is divided into four macro fields: BIM-based process (6CFU) 1. BIM as process: As Designed, As Built, As Is models and interoperability for new and existing buildings 2. Introduction to BIM at urban and building scale: contents, tools and methods 3. Graphical and information standards: LOD and LOIN 4. Data hierarchy in BIM: Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Object Breakdown Structure (OBS) 5. Worksharing 6. Dimensions of BIM focusing on 5D Elements of Building Physics (4CFU) 7. Elements of building energetics 8. Psychrometry 9. Elements of heat transfer in building components 10. Thermal characterisation of envelope components 11. Energy and mass conservation in buildings 12. Elements of HVAC systems 13. Elements of building climatology Integrated sustainable design approach (2CFU) 14. Introduction to Integrated Sustainable Design 15. Comparing different technologies: foundation 16. Comparing different technologies: floor 17. Comparing different technologies: roof 18. Comparing different technologies: internal and external wall Cost Management approach (2CFU) 19. Cost Management 20. Cost Analysis 21. Quantity Take Off

The theoretical topics of the program are organized according to an interdisciplinary sequence presented at the beginning of the course, and are reflected in the practical exercise that must be developed in team (minimum 3 people) during the year: 1. BIM model using different typologies of components of a building from the general to the detail. Objective: to develop an ability for critical interoperable data processing starting from both (i) methodological approach based on work sharing and (ii) correct graphic and information standards (BIM-based process). Group work: production of a BIM model and of minimum one summary technical sheet in horizontal A2 format. 2. Inclusion of building physic elements in the design process. Objective: to develop an ability for critical interpretation of sustainable components. Group work: introduction of the selected Building Physic components into the BIM model and into the summary technical sheet. 3. Set up of an integrated sustainable approach in the design process. Objective: to develop an ability to compare different technical solutions. Group work: introduction of the selected technologies into the BIM model and into the summary technical sheet. 4. Analysis of costs in relation to different technologies. Objective: to develop an ability to compare costs during the design process. Group work: introduction of the prices into the BIM model (5D) and into the summary technical sheet.
