Learn about BIM and key terms of BIM

What are BIM Dimensions? You probably already heard about BIM levels or stages, but what about these Dimensions? Learn how many are there; what do they mean and how they apply into your role and workflow. From 2D to 7D, we will cover them all.

BIM offers digital solutions to enable and help AEC industry to achieve low energy building stock.

Learners will know and be able to:

-Illustrate how BIM can be utilised to reduce energy loss

This training is part of a set related to building up essential skills related for AEC workers to Low Energy Building Construction. 

It is an introduction to BIM models, methods, and tools that can contribute towards a more energy-efficient building stock.  

This training unit will enable the learner to develop a fundamental understanding of how BIM can be used as a digital enabling tool/method to help the AEC industry and professionals in several roles to reduce energy losses, with a holistic full lifecycle approach.

The following learning unit is aimed at identifying the principles that affect an element to be suitable in an nZEB building design and at the application of BIM objects suitable for their correct use within the BIM model. Therefore, principles and parameters affecting building services and smart technologies, quality controls to guarantee nZEB values as well as best practices in the field will be studied. All this with an active and innovative methodology, thanks to the digital tools that provide greater ease in the application of solutions in the design.

The Objectives include:

• Identify the principles that affect an element to be suitable in an nZEB building design.
• Use tools for BIM object creation (energy systems, mechanical ventilation...).
• Guarantee a correct nZEB design through the application of a quality control of the construction model.
• Base nZEB building design on suitable BIM objects.
• Perform analyse energy demand calculations for building services design.
• Compare and contrast different technologies to facilitate selection of an appropriate solution or solutions.

The following learning unit aims to give all tools and knowledge necessary to all project team members for BIM workflow generation and application. For this purpose, roles and responsibilities of the different construction team members will be taught, as well as the necessary documents and regulations to consider for BIM methodology application. BEP, BIM Management Plan, statement of requirements or statement of work are some of the topics we will deal in an innovative way.                     

 The Objectives are to:

• Create a collaborative workflow between all construction team members using BIM.​
• Identify the role and responsibilities of each construction team member.​
• Identify the building regulations and principles applicable to achieve NZEB.​

Micro training aimed to show how a building’s fabric can generate high levels of energy output. Focusing on aspects such as: U-values; Thermal transmittance, Insulation; Materials and Thermal conductivity, cold bridging. In the end learners will be able to: Outline impact of different materials on energy performance in buildings; and Illustrate how adequate insulation can mitigate against losses.

Take and assess an overview of climate change and EU Policy..

Explain energy use in buildings

Notes:

1. This training is advisable to be undertaken after completing the BIM Maturity Levels training, BIM standard overview and BIM key terms. 
2. BIMcert advises beginner learners to follow up with further training that encompasses the BIM Principles training plan.
3. This training in part of a pathway toward more complex and complete training journey and possible qualification. Check details in additional information documentation 
   

Part of a set related to build up essential skills related for AEC workers to Low Energy Building Construction. Learners can take it as a standalone; however, it is also part of a wider pathway for completion of a training plan Introduction to Low Energy Building Construction Course Units.It's an introduction on BIM models, methods, and tools can contribute towards a more energy efficient building stock.  

Training  enable the learner to develop a fundamental understanding how BIM can be used as a digital enabling tool/method to help AEC industry and professional in several roles to reduce energy losses, with a holistic full lifecycle approach.

The 4.0 revolution ( digitalisation) is transforming the AEC industry workflows, methods, processes and tools. BIM in the base and center of this transformation. What advantages and benefits does the adoption of BIM brings to the industry, and to its professionals? Why and How does it constitutes an improvement to how all AEC professionals have worked for years? Take a quick overview of overall benefits of BIM implementation, and digitalisation in general, for the AEC industry.

The AEC is becoming more digital, and BIM is an integral part of this transformation. It permeates the all process and as such digital skills and devices are now a fundamental and offer powerful assistance in improving several aspects of the Industry.

This training is part of a set of training related to build up these essential digital skills for AEC workers. Learners can take it as a standalone, however it’s also part of a wider pathway for completion of a training plan called BIM Principles.

The training will enable learners to understand the context and essentials of BIM in terms of the Standards and guidance. It is a general and brief overview. For more further and deeper details compliment with the BIM and Digitalisation Benefits additional training sets.

What are BIM Dimensions? You probably already heard about BIM levels or stages, but what about these Dimensions? Learn how many are there; what do they mean and how they apply into your role and workflow. From 2D to 7D, we will cover them all.

This unit will enable the learner to develop a fundamental understanding of the use of digital skills for construction sites, required for working in a Digital Construction context.

Part of a set related to build up essential digital skills for AEC workers. Learners can take it as a standalone, however it’s also part of a wider pathway for completion of a training plan called Digital Skills, and essential training related to BIM collaboration and Information Exchange.

This micro training unit will enable the learner to develop a fundamental understanding of the use of digital skills for construction, both for role on site, such as site managers, as well as roles in design teams, required for working in a Digital Construction context.

Training will focus on some practical demonstrations of possible digital tools solutions to help AEC professional to access BIM models and the information contain within them.
