THE ROLE OF THE BUILDING INFORMATION MODEL (BIM) IN THE DESIGN PROCESS OF A BUILDING

BIM ali Informacijski model zgradbe je digitalni zapis informacij o stavbi namenjen komunikaciji med udeleženimi v projektu. Vsebuje geometrijske in negeometrijske podatke, objekt pa spremlja že od idejne zasnove naprej skozi celoten življenjski cikel. V diplomskem delu so najprej podane teoretične osnove o BIM in kako se je vse skupaj začelo. Opisana so tudi orodja za informacijsko modeliranje ter glavne prednosti uporabe BIM tehnologije. Nadaljuje se z opisom procesa projektiranja in modeliranja objekta, izdelavo geometrijskega modela in opisa ostalih komponent BIM. Praktični del zajema primerjavo dveh različnih programov, PHPP in Ecodesigner, za izvajanje energetske analize preproste enodružinske hiše. Glavni sklep je, da uporaba BIM močno olajša proces projektiranja, modeliranja in izdelave različnih analiz, saj pridobimo tako na času, kot na kvaliteti, zmanjšamo število napak in povečamo zanesljivost rezultatov.BIM, or Building Information Model, is a digital record of information about the building for communication between those involved in the project. It contains geometric and non-geometric data and can be used from design inception through construction and throughout a building\u27s life cycle. In the beginning, this paper describes what BIM is and how it all began. In next chapter, tools for information modeling are described, together with the main advantages of using BIM technology. Diploma continues with a description of the design process and building modeling, producing a geometric model and description of other components of BIM. The practical part includes a comparison of two different applications for energy analysis of a simple single-family house, PHPP and Ecodesigner. The conclusion is that the use of BIM greatly improves process of design, modeling and analysis, because we save on time, improve quality, reduce number of errors and improve reliability of results
