Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) in the building sector involve a lot of manpower from designing, operation & maintenance at various stages like system design, load estimate, coordination, scheduling, energy simulation, and also for facility operations and maintenance. The diverse stages entail different expertise for executing the activities, leading to many coordination problems. Using BIM at the pre-construction stage of the project facilitates engineers and designers to make improved decisions. All activities associated with project completion can be made easily with 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D & 7D BIM in a single module. The BIM-enabled solution helps to obtain energy conservation, maintenance & operation of the HVAC system.   ·    Multidisciplinary Collaboration with Stakeholders, Reducing Rework   All project stakeholders need to collaborate to work on a project starting from the stage of conceptual design to the operation & maint...

Artificial intelligence is still a buzzing term, though  technology rules the realm of today’s market . The expansion in the use of this technology is quite prominent these days. A Brief about AI: John McCarthy, the father of Artificial Intelligence, stated that Artificial Intelligence is the science of  engineering for creating intelligent machines. Artificial intelligence is associated with machine learning that uses algorithms for determining patterns and generating insights from the data. However, AI is a controversial topic! Some call it a blessing in disguise for businesses, while some think that technology jeopardizes the existence of humankind. In the future, artificial intelligence would have taken over everyday tasks, leading to people losing out jobs to machines.Even if AI is shaping the future of tomorrow, the technology has some challenges with it. Let’s take a look at some of the Challenges of Artificial Intelligence: ·      ...

As a human race, it’s significant to preserve the buildings and  structures that came before us to study the past as well as to get the reflection on human life, beliefs, and conditions about how they have transformed. This was the situation for Florence’s Baptistery Cathedral , where a project started in 2016 for replacing and restoring the unique 14th-century bronze doors on the southern side of the building. The challenge involved in the project was the absence of molds &casts for the doors. While the east & north doors had plaster casts, enabling the creation of duplicates, Pisano’s south doors did not. Restoration with 3D Laser Scanning ·          Taking into consideration the complex façades of the doors & artwork and the need for recreating them perfectly, the restoration team used  3D laser scanning for the project, for creating  accurate digital models to capture the detail down to one-hundredth of a mil...

Are you looking for BIM Clash Coordination Services for your construction project in the USA? Well, the answer is to hire one of the best BIM clash detection and coordination service providers near to your areas – be it in DC, VA, MD, or Baltimore.   But why should you opt for BIM Clash Detection Services? What is BIM Clash Detection? Clash detection is a constituent of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process and is the recognition of conflicts or clashes, amongst architectural, structural, or MEPFP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, & fire protection) disciplines, through an automated and computerized approach. In BIM, Clash Detection is the method of detecting how and where the two parts of the building are interfering with each other. Why is Clash Detection Essential? Clash detection facilitates in reducing project errors in the existing or completed model before construction. It is important for recognizing and flagging conflicts occurring in the BIM Mod...

Parametric Modeling is the formation of a digital model constructed on a series of pre-programmed documentations or algorithms called 'parameters'. To be precise, the model, or elements are produced automatically through internal logic arguments instead of by being manually operated. Relationship of Parametric Rules with Design Components: Normally, parametric rules build relationships among various design components. To take an instance, a rule might be created to ensure that walls should begin at the floor level and reach underneath the ceiling. If the floor-to-ceiling height is altered, the walls will automatically adjust to the building suit. Some other instances include the height of the window sill over the floor level, the connection between the walls and a slanting roof, the association between the floor area & the window size, and so on. The same algorithm can be used throughout a model so that if a specific component or rule is altered, changes can be seen thr...
