Unit I
INTRODUCTION 6 Importance of analysing a building design based on various parameters- energy performance, attributes of lighting and ventilation, structure, cost estimating, phasing of project, construction, administration and management, etc., Overview of different platforms available to analyse a building on its various parameters. Difference between CAD and BIM. Outline of the whole process- building modelling, giving information in terms of inputs, understanding the attributes/parameters of the model and extracting information in terms of analysis and performance. Various BIM platforms currently available- Revit, Bently, Archicad, Digital Project, Vector works, Tekla Structures, DProfiler, etc., Knowledge required by an architect as designer and as advisor in the building projects with respect to analysis of a building.
