Integration of sustainability and building physics.
“I am what’s called a BIM (Buildings Information Modelling) Coordinator, which means I digitally design and deliver building services in the Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) Engineering department.The 3D design models I create contain all the data that’s needed.
So you can see not just how an assembly looks, but how it will operate as well.The M&E models can be combined with mechanical, structural and architectural models to make a complete “virtual” building.That lets us see how systems interacts with other aspects of the design, and also allows us to assess compliance.”.
How do you create the models?.“It’s all done in software suites which I learnt to use at Bryden Wood.
Usually, I work in a project team alongside other people under the direction of a Project Manager.
People with different design disciplines within Bryden Wood will work together.The industry wants a silver bullet, it wants to skip to the end, but there’s some fairly heavy lifting to be done first.
Sharp says we need to get better about taking the quick wins.The sooner we start, the sooner we’ll reach our goal.
The rewards will be worth it.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesDesign to Value.
