BIM & Beyond: USCG Case Studies from Mission to Management Establishing the Vision June 23, 2007 Dana K. Deke Smith, AIA Executive Director, buildingsmart Alliance
Setting the Vision $3 Trillion industry with possible 30% waste Facilities consume 40% of the energy Facilities contribute 40% of the emissions Facilities contribute to 20% of land fills NIST in 2004 identified $15.8B lost to lack of interoperability Enough is enough it is time for a change
Reversing the Trend Goal - Turn a stagnant or declining productivity curve to an exponentially improving one 2004 2008 2012 2014 2018 2022 2024.
Building Information Modeling as a tool BIM is the tool that will provide us the opportunity to build a facility virtually to simulate its construction and lifecycle operation prior to building it physically to work out construct problems to predict and monitor energy performance to reduce energy usage to examine material sustainability used in the facility over its lifecycle to coordinate construction efforts to reduce delivery time to minimize or eliminate the waste of change orders to improve environmental impact of the facility internally and externally and over the lifecycle including disposal to enter data once when it is created as part of the business process then retain it for use later in the lifecycle
The Alliance North America s focused response to the worldwide effort to provide the basis for culture change across the real property industry to coordinate training and education across the industry to create an industry coordinating entity to minimize use of hazardous materials to provide a coordinated voice for users, suppliers and vendors in the industry to document the business case and return on investment to improve customers understanding of the delivered product to coordinate BIM research and development to provide a common approach to implementing standards
National BIM Standard Standards are needed to coordinate all the entities working together to achieve interoperability across the lifecycle to keep firms from re-inventing BIM approach to define business processes for automation to define information exchanges to provide a common dictionary to document and support model views to harmonize building object definitions to develop common information delivery approach to coordinate product manufacturer and suppliers information delivery to define the overall scope of BIM to define levels of maturity
BIM Definition A Building Information Model (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. As such it serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle from inception onward. A basic premise of BIM is collaboration by different stakeholders at different phases of the life cycle of a facility to insert, extract, update or modify information in the BIM process to support and reflect the roles of that stakeholder. The BIM is a shared digital representation founded on open standards for interoperability.

Facility Information in 10 years We will look at the lifecycle cost of the facility We will view the facility as having a 100+ year life We will keep people and process in context with facility costs Operations will receive a model from design/construction stage We will have models for existing facilities to capture facility information as it is learned Facility models will be maintained as part of doing business Facilities needs will be tied to mission Maintenance of systems will be based on priority across the portfolio Facility performance including energy usage will be monitored to ensure it meets design specs Building models will be more accurate because of links to fabrication and supply / manufacturers The authoritative source will maintain the model and audits will be in place Access to model information will be controlled and based on need to know We will have accurate costs and change orders will be at a minimum Facilities will be delivered earlier Facilities will be more sustainable, energy efficient and more environmentally friendly

NIBS Enabling Legislation Public Law 93-383, Sect. 809 (1974) Congress directed NIBS to exercise its functions and responsibilities in four general areas, relating to building regulations.. 1. Develop & maintain performance criteria for maintenance of life, safety, health, and public welfare for the built environment. 2. Evaluate building technology to meet the above criteria. NIBS acts acts as as a non-threatening open forum host host for for capital facilities industry collaboration and and a recognized consensus process 3. Conduct related and needed investigations 4. Assemble, store, and disseminate technical data and related information
