Many fabricators are already creating their shop drawings using BIM methodology. Structural steel and mechanical trades are designing their production models to interact with designer models. Bringing together the business submittal process with these fabricator BIM models creates another valuable integration point. ]]> http://localhost/santu/office/revitdesign/index.php?topic=128&pid=139 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 05:28:59 -0700 globalrajib 139
BIM uses advanced digital technology to represent all of the physical and functional characteristics of a building. Using a computer program, the design team can collaboratively design in three dimensions, which can increase productivity in building design and construction. BIM is changing the way the building industry does business. It is a critical tool for increasing interoperability and reducing design building costs, especially with regard to green and sustainable structures.

Several types of BIM educational sessions, including case studies, standard updates, green BIM and more, will be offered throughout BIM Week.

Sessions and meeting at the December conference include:

--Introduction to buildingSMART

--Introduction to NBIMS-US

--Using BIM at the Schematic PhaseHow BIM Will Transform Education: A Series from Major Universities

BIM products and services will be on display during the two-day exhibit December 7-8. The exhibit also features:


BIMStorm, presented by Onuma, will focus on Energy, BIM/GIS integration and Cloud Computing. BIMStorm will demonstrate full life-cycle use of BIM, including green product integration, along with real-time energy data connected to BIM. Its interactive format invites teams of attendees to participate via smart phone or laptop in a live workshop charrette on the 3D design of hospitals and federal facilities in real time. Demonstrations will include how BIM can support EcoDistricts and High-Performance Buildings. ]]> http://localhost/santu/office/revitdesign/index.php?topic=127&pid=138 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:32:14 -0700 globalrajib 138 http://localhost/santu/office/revitdesign/index.php?topic=126&pid=137 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:19:38 -0700 globalrajib 137 1.

The uncontrolled market for real estate in Kerala consists of
(a) Properties owned by the government or its designated agencies
(b) Properties exempted under the Act, such as new constructions for a specified period or properties carrying rent above a specified amount
© Sublet houses of public authorities
(d) Houses in the unauthorized colonies or squatter settlements

In the case of the prominent cities in Kerala, the study by the National Institute of Urban Affairs estimates the uncontrolled portion of the rental market to be of the order of 64 percent, including 41 percent of the people living in squatter settlements and unauthorized colonies. The rents in © and (d) of this market are naturally higher than in the strictly controlled market.

It has been noted that most of the legislations enacted to regulate urban development remain mostly on paper. The Rent Control Act has already lost its teeth because of the numerous loopholes and the lack of awareness of its various clauses among the common people. When a high rent is being charged, which is much higher than the limit prescribed by the government, no one is willing to protest or report it not only due to ignorance of the laws, but also due to the fear of losing a housing amenity at the desired locality. ]]> http://localhost/santu/office/revitdesign/index.php?topic=123&pid=134 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 03:15:07 -0800 rettin70 134

BIM 4D Modeling generates a reliable digital representation of the building that can be utilized for design decision making, high-quality construction document production, 4D construction planning, and performance predictions and cost estimates.

4D-model construction planning provides comprehensive information platform for project schedules and site plans to serve the objective of site management and construction planning. ]]> http://localhost/santu/office/revitdesign/index.php?topic=116&pid=127 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 03:28:28 -0700 globalrajib 127  
The developments has made the nature all the more polluted than ever before to which she is responding in the form of global warming. On one hand man is increasing the carbon dioxide level and on the other he is cutting down trees which could have been helpful in minimizing the carbon dioxide rate. Thus man is squeezing the nature from both sides and is forcing her to react negatively towards the whole mankind.  The nature is getting polluted through a number of medium like air, water and even sound. Somewhere man is aware of all the same, which is evident from his gradual shifting towards nature. Today we can see the vegetables been planted in the cities on the roof top of the houses. Big apartments maintaining a well furnished garden. But the aching factor is that man does take initiatives but much late.
.
The green homes being built on a large scale at Washington DC is also a great nature loving initiative on the part of human beings who are on their way back towards the nature. The U.S green Building Council (USBC) is behind the eco-friendly initiative and is promoting the same at a fast pace and is expected to engulf the world within a short span of time. For the implementation of a Green Home Washington DC is one of the apposite locations, with the availability and easy accessibility to the different infrastructures and materials used in the green home building. Apart from all that Washington DC is also gifted with immense natural beauty. The increase in the number of green homes is expected to spread greenery not only at Washington DC but also in the whole world ]]> http://localhost/santu/office/revitdesign/index.php?topic=115&pid=126 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 01:07:10 -0700 sturtevant 126 The renowned Terry & Terry Architecture of Berkeley, Calif successfully completed the award-winning Diamond Project with the help of ArchiCAD building information modeling (BIM) software.

The project includes the hills of San Francisco, a beloved garden, and bountiful California sunlight. The project won a 2010 AIA Housing Award.

ArchiCAD was applied to work with the planes, the volumes, the tricky lighting and the sustainability considerations.

A west-facing balcony overlooks the San Francisco hills, and sloped rooftops in both the back and front echo their ebbs and flows. Carefully designed ceiling gaps of 8 inches to two feet, protected by tempered glass, enable sun to illuminate interior walls and kitchen work areas without glare. Rooftop \"sun scoops\" draw more direct light into the bathroom. Concrete walls absorb heat from sunlight and the fireplace then slowly emit it in the evening to keep temperatures stable naturally. All these developments were possible with ArchiCAD\'s powerful 3D visualization capabilities. ]]> http://localhost/santu/office/revitdesign/index.php?topic=114&pid=125 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 22:51:54 -0700 globalrajib 125
