Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. It is used in modern building modeling software such as Autodesk Revit to provide extended information about equipment and other modeling components beyond simple dimensions. BIM encompasses the dimensional fit of elements into drawings so that they can appear as they would in real life and provides additional meta-data such as:
- Electrical requirements
- Network Requirements
- Manufacturer
- Maintenance information
- O&M manual links
- Physical connection requirements
- Flow rates
- Feed rates
- Lifespan
