The “in” topic in building: holistic design with BIM

When all relevant building information is entered in the BIM model, all calculations and simulations relating to building physics, thermal properties, energy efficiency, ventilation, lighting or acoustics, among many others, can be realized with considerably reduced effort

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is currently one of the most “in” topics in building and will over the middle and long term sustainably change the design, construction and utilization of building structures. The advantages and possibilities of BIB are illustrated by the example of interacting software solutions in FirstInVision.

BIM stands for a life-cycle-oriented, computer-aided design method aimed at optimizing the design, construction and utilization of buildings; increasing productivity; improving the quality of design; and managing workflows more efficiently. Although BIM is not...
