Building Information Modeling (BIM) is shaping the future of MEP Design, providing accurate and cost effective solutions for Design Engineers. Often BIM specialists work closely with design engineers during the design development stages with several inputs like drawings, hand-sketches, data sheet, design excels, mark-ups and more. Accurate BIM Modeling helps to validate design for constructability, performance and maintenance. 3Dvisualization through BIM helps to bring clarity in design objectives pertaining to performance parameters, tolerance, clearance and ease of maintenance. The Process of Working with Building Information Modeling - Different design options are simulated to choose the most efficient solution. Often design software applications like ETAP, Pipenet, Elite, Dialux are used for flawless integration with BIM models. Major software applications such as AutoCAD, Revit, Fabrication, Navisworks, Bentley and SolidWorks are also used as per project requirement. Bui...

Mr. Biswaroop Todi, Global Vice President, Pinnacle Infotech discusses the power of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to bring LEED V4 Certified Sustainable Design to Construction LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) – the most extensively used green building rating system in the world provides a framework to craft efficient and cost-saving solution.   Consequently, the construction companies started implementing this universally acknowledged symbol of sustainability in their work process. However, a number of challenges are faced by Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) firms for bringing LEED V4 (the newest version of LEED) to construction. We will explore how BIM (Building Information Modeling) Technology helps to meet the criteria of LEED Credit Categories in a construction project, resolving the challenges of Environmental Factors, Water Scarcity, Resource Management, Long Material Lead Time, Benchmarking Energy Usage, Accurate Structural...
