Course Description
The Advanced BIM course will present modeling of lighting design in buildings, lighting circuits, electrical switch systems, electrical power loads, plumbing and piping systems as well as planning and designing fire protection systems. This course is designed to sequentially deliver the following topics: dividing the building model in spaces and zones, assigning space and zone properties, energy analysis of the building model, heating and cooling requirements, placing air terminals, adjusting air flow to fulfil the energy requirements, creating air supply duct work, sizing the ducts according to the air flow, placing and connecting the air conditioners, checking the connectivity of all equipment, specifying electrical settings to determine the voltages, wiring, distribution systems, and demand factors, specifying and scheduling the lighting levels that are required for the various spaces within the building, placing light fixtures in the model, using the space analysis schedule, adding the electrical equipment for the distribution systems, creating power circuits/circuit groups, creating a panel schedule report, examining the circuitry, creating the piping for the sanitary plumbing system, domestic cold and hot water systems and adding pipes to connect all fixtures.
