Integrated design processKey elements of integrated design process process Building design• Multi-disciplinary collaboration between architects, engineers, contractors, cost specialists, facility managers right from the beginning of the design process• Discussion of the various important performance issues Effort and the establishment of a consensus on this matter between client and designers Traditional• Budget restrictions applied at the whole building level, with no strict separation of budgets for individual building systems.• The addition of subject specialists involved (e.g. energy Schematic Detailed Constructions Constructions simulation, daylighting, comfort, acoustics) Design Design Documents• Testing of various design assumptions through the use of Time performance analysis throughout the whole process to provide relatively objective information on this key aspect of performance• Clear articulation of performance targets and strategies, to be updated throughout the process by the design team © Integrated Environmental Solutions Ltd.

IDP Technology - Reality• Model input Building design process − Design for sustainability using same tool regardless of BIM/CAD platform Google SketchUp Graphisoft ArchiCAD gbXML Other gbXML [IES Plug-ins] Autodesk Revit IES <VE> ModelIT© Integrated Environmental Solutions Ltd.

IDP Technology - RealityHow it works: gbXML1. Draw Geometry in Autodesk Revit2. From the Revit Toolbar: • Set Building Location • Define Building Parameters: • Building Type • Construction Materials • Building System Types • Room Types <VE>3. Launch IES VE-Toolkits/VE-Pro4. Choose Analysis Type

Next Steps • Raising awareness about the strengths and weaknesses of the current situation with respect to Interoperability. • Continue to improve the Interoperability and start to look at the ‘round-trip’ whereby we take information back into the BIM package from the analysis package. • Automation of parts of the process – automatic updating and re-calculation when something changes. • Cloud computing • Key documents • IGT ‘Low Carbon Construction’ report • Cabinet Office ‘Government Construction Strategy’ • ‘BIM Working Party Strategy Paper’© Integrated Environmental Solutions Ltd.
