1 THE NEW FACE OF DESIGN Building Information Modeling and what it means for the AV Industry Prepared by Jon Melchin Director Architectural Business Development FSR, Inc.

2 Building Information Modeling BIM:Whatisit? it? A 3D design, modeling and simulation technology for the architectural, engineering and construction industries

3 BIM: Has changed what is considered standard practice in architecture. BIM is more than just a 3D representation of the physical characteristics of a structure. Has been called the most massive upheaval of design practice in the history of the construction industry.

4 BIM is a shared knowledge resource BETWEEN EVERYBODY WORKING ON THE PROJECT ARCHITECT INTERIOR DESIGNER EC ENGINEER VENDORS FACILITY OWNER

5 BIM is changing the way that structures t are designed d because BIM provides a better interpretation of what the building is going to look like and how the building will perform over its life cycle.

6 BIM IN DESIGN PHASE & ACTUAL Bath in BIM Design Phase Bath Actual Finished Project

7 While the definition of BIM begins with the 3D modeling of an entire building

8 it s the I in BIM that is most beneficial Data-rich text and information is embedded behind each object: Features such as specs, size, shape, color, fire-rating, warranty, weight, cost, power draw, heat signature and other information can be included for each product in the model

9 This information is shared between multiple l team members. Design conflicts are detected, resulting in corrections before construction even begins. THIS SAVES MONEY WITH THE REDUCTION OF CHANGE ORDERS!

10 BIM helps architects become better, faster designers so they re happy. The facility owner saves money so he s happy.

11 BIM International Developments Widespread adoption in the United States: BIM adoption expanding globally National Institute of Building Sciences American Institute of Architects 79% of firms use BIM

12 Several European countries and international agencies are pushing for adoption of BIM standards: * FFB French Building Federation Dutch Ministry of the Interior: Rgd BIM Norm Building Services Research & Information Association (BRSIA) United Kingdom buildingsmart: An international organization supporting BIM with chapters in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and Middle East

13 BIM IN AV AV products are considered building components, AV products are considered building components, and in the eyes of a construction professional, manufacturers of AV products are building product manufacturers- a BPM- not an AV company. These BIM objects are incorporated into the design.

15 The information in the BIM model can be very helpful to AV providers.

16 The ability to visualize the physical aspects of AV products incorporated into the space can be very valuable: Video display size and location Loudspeaker configurations Projector mounting locations Equipment rack layouts Head-end equipment locales Sharing all this with designers is beneficial

17 Visual Simulation can detect potential problems: Space & system routing conflicts Ascertaining clear cable pathways Projector & Camera Sightlines Natural Daylight designs compromise video clarity ALL VISIBLE WITHIN THE MODEL

18 Control System software can be coordinated within the model to demonstrate t applications: MULTIMEDIA VOLUME LIGHTING PROJECTION SCREENS ROOM OCCUPENCY DETECTION AUTO POWER SHUT OFF FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY

19 Other areas that can impact sustainable design - Embedded data can be accessed for environmental info: RECYCLED CONTENT LOW VOC S CERTIFIED WOOD ENERGY STAR RATING

20 Green Initiatives: LEED BIM tools offer analysis of the performance of energy efficiency elements & sustainable materials

21 Benefits of BIM go beyond the construction phase: BIM is a digital owners manual Facility Management Life-Cycle Analysis Routine Maintenance Performance Assessment

22 The model stays with the building for its entire life. AV products in the model can be accessed for: Warranty Operation & Troubleshooting Replacement Parts Components for upgrades Product Information

23 BIM projects require AV pros involved earlier: AV is an integral aspect of the structure AV is a business critical technology Architects embrace AV & presentation technologies These technologies impact the performance & sustainability of a building AV can benefit building occupants Architects objective is to design energy-efficient, efficient, high performance buildings

24 Imagine the possibilities with BIM: Ability to quantify construction materials Reduction of environment impact Fewer change orders owners can walk thru 3D model Imagine the sights, sounds & performance of the building including the AV systems in it before the first shovelful of dirt is thrown

25 WELCOME TO THE NEW FACE OF DESIGN: ITS NAME IS

26 CASE STUDY: LETTERMAN DIGITAL ARTS CENTER San Francisco, California Owner: LucasFilm Architect: Gensler General Contractor: Webcor Mechanical Engineer: Flack & Kurtz AV Consultant: RLS Associates Project Completion: 2005

27 Letterman Digital Arts Center (LDAC) Flagship office for LucasFilm (George Lucas ) 4 Buildings, 865,000 square feet Visual data center for movie & video 298-seat, state-of-the-art screening room Two 65-seat theatres In-house sound studio Raised floors for cable routing LEED Gold Certified Status

28 BIM design resulted in detection of hundreds of conflicts: Cost savings - $10 Million

29 3D BIM modeling assisted in managing: The MEP design for future upgrades All team members on the project design Over 600 MILES of fiber-optic cabling

30 Despite numerous design changes, the project was delivered on time and under budget largely due to BIM
