BIM Content for Auditorium, Hospital, Stadium, Hotel, Educational Facility, & Data Center _ GoBim360

1. BIM Content for Auditorium, Hospital, Stadium, Hotel, Educational Facility, & Data Center As we all know, content is king (we are sure you can relate to battle among Netflix and Disney Plus and Amazon Video etc.) and having content which can be repurposed or reused can offer multifold benefits and so is the case when it comes to building design. Ina BIM-based building design, 3d bim modeling servicesfor various products and materials is a no brainer, either these types of content are provided by product/material manufacturers or they are custom created. All buildings are designed with a purpose and specifications, every building has its function, space, and performance requirements and having BIM content for these products (i.e. BIM objects) enables various types of analysis andestimation. According to the 2019 NBS BIM Report, 69% of designers from A/E/C firms agreed that manufacturers need to provide BIM objects. Popular formats for BIM objects are RFA (Autodesk Revit family file format) and IFC (an open and neutral data file format). Most of the manufacturers provide free downloadable BIM content through their website and there are aggregator sites such as BIMobject ARCAT etc. which include downloadable BIM content from most of themanufacturers. Now, the building design process comprises four stages/phases – Pre-design Design Preconstruction Construction. Within the design phase there are three stages – Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Documents. Level of Detail (LOD) in BIM content at each design stage is different, as an example, pre-design phase may require LOD 100 (conceptual),design

2. development requires LOD 300 (precise geometry) and fabrication requires LOD 400 (fabrication ready models – precise geometry with additional identity data). Most manufacturers would at least need to provide LOD 350 (precise geometry with connection details) details in the building design in order to start theconstruction. In this blog, we have made an attempt to understand what BIM content would be required in order to accelerate the design development stage of the specific type of building such as Auditorium, Stadium, Hospital, Educational Facility and Data Center. 1. BIM Content (Revit Family) for anAuditorium As per the dictionary – Auditorium is a large building or hall designed to accommodate large audiences and they are used for public gatherings, typically speeches or stage performances. Buildings such as opera, theater, assembly hall, exhibit halls, etc. would also have the same design considerations as anauditorium. Architects and MEP engineers (building designers, A/E firms) would require BIM content for chairs, lights, CCTV and audiovisual systems since these elements are key to overall planning and designing of anauditorium. • BIM Objects/Elementsrequired: • Chairs – Foldablechairs • Lights – Downlights, Wall Mount Lights, LEDLights • AV Systems –Audio System – Loudspeakers, Mixer, Subwoofer, Digital Sound Processor, Microphone(Wireless/Wired) • Video System – LED panels, TVs, StageMonitor • Projector & ProjectorScreen • Stage – Wooden orConcrete • Furniture & Fixtures – Podium Table, Dressing Room, Green Rom, DimmerRoom • Security –CCTV

The project included creating families for 3 typesof • lighting fixtures- Indoor, Outdoor & Decorative. 2. BIM Content (Revit Family) for aHospital Hospital is usually a multi-story building with multiple patient rooms, operation theaters, and a huge amount of medical equipment. The facility aims at delivering a message to patients and visitors, one that conveys welcoming, caring, comfort, and compassion, commitment to patient well-being andsafety. A/E firms would require BIM content for Medical Equipments, Patient Beds, & Operation theaters since these are the key components for the overall planning and designing of a healthcarefacility. • BIM Objects/Elementsrequired: • Patient Room – Beds, Lights, Medical trunking –Headwall • Operation Theatre – Bed, Stretcher, MedicalEquipments • Lighting –LED • Waiting Room – Bench • Nurse’s Station

4. Conference Room – Table, Chair, Screen,Projector • Cafeteria – Tables,Chair • Staff Locker – Cabinets • ServerRoom • Elevator • Safety –CCTV • HVAC 3. BIM Content (Revit Family) for an Educationalinstitute Educational facilities are buildings or structures used to teach students. It mainly includes schools, colleges & universities but they can also include day-care centers, nursery schools, private institutions, etc. While designing an educational facility certain aspects like daylighting, accessibility for the students, the specification of sustainable and non-toxic building materials, etc. are kept inmind. A/E firms, MEP Engineering firms & building designers would requireBIM content for Desks, Chairs, Projector & Screen since they are key to overall planning and designing of an auditorium. • BIM Objects/Elementsrequired: • Classroom Furniture – Desks, Chairs, Projector & Screen, Lights,Blackboard • Auditorium – Desk, Stage,Chairs • Computer Room – Desk Chairs, ComputerSystems • Locker Room –Cabinets • Playground • Safety –CCTV • HVAC • Read more about our Revit Family Creation Services, we as a BIMmodeling

5. outsourcing companies add value to everyproject! 4. BIM Content (Revit Family) for aStadium The stadium space type includes glazed open spaces with a huge seating area. A stadium is a place mostly for outdoor sports but along with that it is also used for concerts, or other events and consists of a field or stage either partly or completely surrounded by a tiered structure designed to allow spectators to stand or sit and view theevent. Architects and MEP engineers would require BIM content for Ground design, Audiovisual system, Seating area, & Lighting since they are key to overall planning and designing of a stadium. • Revit Objects/Elementsrequired: • Chairs – Seat Modules, Bleachers, Platform Chairs, Adjustable StadiumChairs • AudiovisualSystems • Stadium LEDLights • Stadium • Safety – CCTV, HandRailing • HVAC 5. BIM Content (Revit Family) forHotels Hotels are multi-story buildings with a huge number of rooms for the guests and along with that it has a lot of amenities. Hotel space type requires flexibility, durable finishes, attention to regular maintenance, and special HVAC systems and lighting. The rooms speciallyrequire

6. comfort for the guests and the other areas’ design often involves skylights and generous glazing areas that provide an infusion of natural light which make them prominent areas well suited to serve ceremonial and socialfunctions. Architects, MEP engineers, & building designers would require BIM content for Guest room furniture-beds, closet, etc. & Lighting since they are key to overall planning and designing of ahotel. • BIM Objects/Elementsrequired: • Hotel Rooms – Beds, Closet, LED Lights, Table,Chair • Lights – Indoor Lights, Decorative Lights, LEDLights • Restaurant – Dining Table, Chairs, KitchenAppliances • Conference Room – Projector & Screen, Table,Chairs • GymEquipments • Safety –CCTV • HVAC • Elevator • Case Study- A Real LifeProject • In this project, our client – An integrated architecture firm needed to develop light-weight & parametric Revit Families of Furniture, Fixtures & Equipments with LOD 400 details for their Hotel brands – Marriott: Fairfield Inn & Suites, IHG: HolidayInn, • Hilton: Tru by Hilton The projects included creating families for areas – Public space & Guestrooms. 6. BIM Content (Revit Family) for Datacenters Data center is home to the computational power, storage, and applications necessary to support an enterprise business. The data center infrastructure is central to theIT

7. architecture, from which all content is sourced or passes through. Proper planning of the data center infrastructure is critical, and performance, resiliency, and scalability need to be carefully considered while designingone. Architects and MEP engineers would require BIM content for Server Racks, Power Lines, & HVAC since these are the most important components for the overall planning and designing of a data center. • BIM Objects/Elementsrequired: • Equipments – Servers, Switches,Routers • Power Sources – Battery Banks,Generators • Environmental Control – Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRAC), HVAC, Exhaust Systems • Security – CCTV, Local & Central Watch • Data CenterCabinet • Raised FloorSystem • Power Distribution Units(PDU) • Workstations • Mounting • Storage – Servers &Disks • EquipmentRooms • HVAC • Would you like to share your Project Details?
