**Building Information Modeling (BIM) **
BUILDING SCIENCE INSIGHT 2011/12 A unique half-day learning and networking opportunity presented by the National Research Council of Canada
Building Science Insight is a national seminar series presented annually by the National Research Council of Canada Institute for Research in Construction (NRC-IRC) to provide construction professionals with practical information. Each seminar focuses on technical advances in building science on a specific topic and includes the results of NRC-IRC research. This year’s seminar will address how Building Information Modeling (BIM) is influencing practices in the construction sector. The following topics will be addressed, including two demonstrations:
- Status, relevance and context of BIM in the construction sector
- Considerations for transitioning to BIM in projects
- Demonstration 1: Illustrating the re-use and evolution of model information over the life cycle
- Demonstration 2: BIM - Introductory use and contributions
Speakers include NRC-IRC building science specialists Shafee Ahamed, John Dickinson, and Robert Canas.
Special thanks to the Canadian Construction Association and the Institute for BIM in Canada for their support with this event.
