Presented by François Lévy, registered architect, author, BIM consultant, and lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture
This webinar will demonstrate sustainable design techniques for climate-indexed projects using a building information modeling (BIM) workflow, with an emphasis on making appropriate and early design decisions for energy efficiency. Learn how BIM tools can help you design buildings that are more responsive to their climate and perform better. This presentation will include an overview of several BIM-focused sustainable strategies and conclude with a residential case study overview, demonstrating the use of both built-in and customized BIM tools.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the dominant influence of climate on the design of smaller (i.e., skin-load dominated) buildings.
Learn the quantitative design opportunities BIM offers for sustainability.
Identify the applicability of a BIM workflow to skin-load dominated projects.
Discuss specific cases that demonstrate BIM's applicability to the optimized design of high-performance buildings.
