My aim behind working on this project is to learn how to link the database consisting of information related to LEED certification in the Building information model.
The architectural and structural drawings for this project are originally developed by WHR architects using Autodesk Revit software. The SpawGlass construction company is interested in achieving a LEED certification rating on this project. SpawGlass has recently started using BIM technology to resolve some of the issues in the construction process like understanding MEP design, managing the time conflict and providing their subcontractors, a clear idea about the specifications described in the design drawings.
My future research interest is to investigate weather a BIM model can be used by the designers to represent and explain their design to the LEED certification organization (USGBC) more effectively and minimize the time spent on the review process, which is currently performed using online documentation method.
