USING BIM FOR EXISTING BUILDING ENERGY AUDITS

Speaker: MITCH DEC, EIT, GLUMAC

With the current construction market shifting from New Construction to the Existing Building sector, there is a twist on how to complete thorough and useful energy analysis on existing buildings.
 
The August presentation will focus on how Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools can be used for reducing site visits, obtaining the necessary information from an existing building, and preparing useful analysis. The discussion will focus on how several products from the Autodesk suite (ImageModeler, Revit, and Ecotect) provide the ability to streamline our efforts on analyzing an existing building. In addition, we will discuss how these tools can interface with products such as: Trane Trace, eQUEST, Google Earth, and Google Sketchup in order to provide the detailed level of analysis required for ASHRAE Level II and Investment Grade Energy Audits.
