Real World sustainability using BIM tools

My name is the secret and I am an octet lacking at David miller architects, the following presentation
was prepared for ego 2013 to comment on the subject real-world sustainability easing them tools to do
this well introduce and then explain the case studies the sustainable strategies embedded into our work
flow at the emmy we are a small optex practice based in central London the majority of our work is in
zones one and two we have completed a number of projects and education, housing and mixed use
sectors over the last few years and more recently have been working on some exciting community and
regeneration projects we have been working exclusively in them for the past three years see rather than

the following presentation was prepared for ego 2013
0:13
to comment on the subject real-world sustainability
0:16
easing them tools to do this we'll introduce
0:21
and then explain the case studies the sustainability strategies embedded into
0:25
our workflow
0:26
at the emmy we are a small
0:29
Optex practice based in Central London the majority of our work
0:34
is in zones one and two we have completed a number of projects
0:40
and education housing and mixed-use sectors
0:44
over the last few years and more recently have been working on some
0:47
exciting
0:48
community and regeneration projects we have been working exclusively
0:55
in them for the past three years see rather than giving an introduction into

this presentation explains how we are using it to achieve
1:03
our sustainability goals we have developed this diagram
1:08
to illustrate the Paxos sustainability strategy
1:11
the outer ring describes the Praxis core ames

broken into four parts social sustainability

lean design processes intelligent specifying
1:23
and efficient operations each of these
1:27
are aligned to different stages of the new 2013
1:31
Ripa panel black which is shown in the inner ring
1:35
most important me each core aim
1:38
feeds into the next encouraging an ongoing sustainable approach
1:42
throughout the project life cycle and encourages one project to inform the
1:47
next project
1:48
in a secular workflow with each stage
1:52
we simply add information to to the model
1:56
refining details as we move through the life cycle of the project
2:00
I will not discuss three of the practices
2:03
recent projects each illustrates how the practices core sustainability agents
2:09
a put into practice using them tools we will cover them
2:13
how clients and stakeholders interface with the model
2:17
at feasibility and at post post
2:20
occupancy stages how we as
2:23
architects interface with the model at concept design stage
2:27
and how the design team as a whole
2:30
interfaces with the model at technical design stage
2:33
to begin with being socially sustainable
2:37
at preparation stage
2:41
them tools allow us to deliver detailed feasibility studies
2:45
and the often tight timeframes required by our clients
2:48
communicating proposals three-day mention me
2:51
at these early stages is very useful on commercial projects
2:55
work on are looking for rapid validation of proposals
2:59
the proposals can be clearly communicated
3:03
reducing the risk of misunderstandings and the interface between the proposals
3:07
and their surroundings can be managed we were commissioned by City West homes
3:14
10 Vesta gave the feasibility of redeveloping
3:17
these two sites of lesson grave in west London
3:20
on one site to provide 7,000
3:23
square meters a primary care trusts pace and 50 residential units
3:28
and on the other to investigate how best
3:31
to maximize the site's potential redevelopment
3:34
to begin we took the two-day national master plan data
3:39
which outlined the aims and objectives for the regeneration of the site
3:43
and translated this into
3:47
three dimensional data to analyze the issues
3:51
of the existing development this three-dimensional
3:55
analysis of the site highlighted the current
3:58
poor street presence along less in grave and
4:01
areas at unoccupied sites footprint that were encouraging
4:05
anti-social behaviour early 3d
4:09
information is also used the day-night and Sun night
4:12
analysis this allows us to fully understand the impact about proposals
4:17
on neighboring buildings and informs our subsequent design proposals
4:23
there was no need for consultants to build that own models /a our proposals
4:27
which sped up the production of 3d jelly mould
4:30
envelope shown here for us to respond to
4:33
hence speeding up the overall project workflow
4:38
we all see you output from the model to create stakeholder fender graphics
4:43
he's a very good for communicating the people who con- easily read
4:46
2d drawings and allows our clients and stakeholders to make
4:50
informed decisions earlier in the design process
4:54
these drawings do not have the formality or final at:
4:58
other fully rendered image and stakeholders seem happier to engage with
5:02
proposals in this format leading to more comprehensive comment on designs
5:09
floor plans and should shows are generated as a byproduct
5:13
a place in the simple geometric volumes
5:17
this allows us to accurately a numerically assess options
5:21
against one another and communicate these findings to our clients
5:30
to move onto lean design processes
5:35
it is widely recognized but eighty percent of the operation
5:39
maintenance and repair costs other building
5:42
are fixed in the fast 20 percent above the design process
5:46
rapid energy modeling is one example being able to optimize the
5:49
sustainability
5:50
over design in-house from its very early stages
5:55
them tools allow us to carry out this very early-stage them on a mouse s
6:00
and feed these findings back into them initial nothing proposals
6:04
even before consultants are on board
6:10
this project was for a twenty four-story hotel on a very sensitive site
6:14
in London here all the buildings shown in pain
6:18
on bill projects which have planning a trip from
6:22
massing the proposal surrounded by its future immediate and wider context
6:27
was used to future-proof sustainability strategies
6:31
it was also very persuasive tool for planning discussions
6:36
energy performance was analyzed by running simulations with in rabbit
6:41
project specific parameters glad it's such as building type:
6:45
building vacation and h-back specification
6:49
the resulting reports provided a real time preview
6:53
how various design decisions where affecting life cycle performance
6:59
for example annual carbon emissions
7:02
and energy consumption in short
7:06
them tools allowed us to fine-tune the building in sustainability terms
7:11
at the very early stages up the design process
7:14
avoiding costly changes post time
7:21
the third case study explains the benefits of intelligence specifying
7:29
the power of having a BIM does not just lined the benefits of a 3d model
7:34
but also with the information that is generated by that motto
7:37
such as product quantities and area take-offs
7:41
in addition to this the model can be further enhanced
7:44
by adding product specific data
7:47
to model components which can then be extracted
7:51
as and when required
7:56
this mixed-use project and barking London
7:59
comprises a large supermarkets 100 residential apartments
8:04
and five retail units the residential apartments are targeting Code for
8:08
Sustainable Homes
8:09
level for and the whole development is projected to achieve preamp accident
8:16
on this project the structural and meep models have been
8:20
integrated with the architectural model to aid coordination
8:24
and clash detection
8:27
now here's an example to show how we at dated
8:30
to the model for real world game in this example
8:35
in order to provide evidence required for pre am
8:38
credit Matt 6 insulation
8:42
typically insulation wouldn't be modeled as a single component
8:46
but would be part oval wall roof of your build up
8:49
however for this example we will focus on the soffit insulation
8:53
required in the projects basement
8:56
the workflow begins by adding the soffit into the model
9:00
in this instance as a generic sealing type: that sits on the underside of the
9:04
ground floor slap
9:07
as we develop the model we swap out an update the properties of this
9:11
placeholder object replacing it with a data-rich
9:14
manufacturer specific component which has been downloaded
9:19
through the MBS national them live free
9:24
one of the many benefits abusing these objects is Becky performance data is
9:29
already embedded
9:30
into the component which using the work nato having to find and coordinate
9:34
information from different sources
9:38
you can see the object contains properties such as thermal resistance
9:42
and Green Guide rating for example
9:45
this information is quantifiable and accurate
9:50
and can be scheduled easily to form part opry am
9:54
evidence onto floor plans
9:59
contusion chills and ready to upload for a view
10:07
and finally we take a brief lead at the fourth stage of our sustainability
10:11
strategy
10:11
efficient operations what happens when the project is complete
10:15
this is an area that
10:19
as a practiced we are pushing to explore further and believe there are three key
10:23
topics that we need to focus on
10:25
firstly how we can gather data sets
10:28
and building performance data at the end of a project
10:31
to feed into the concept design stage a future projects
10:35
second me how we can embed
10:38
FM data into the model and then extract this
10:41
for the production of kobe spreadsheets and oh and then models
10:45
and finally how we can learn from print post occupancy evaluations
10:50
now we can feed this into the briefing stages a future projects
10:54
employing initiatives such as the government's soft landings program
10:58
we hope this presentation as provided a useful insight into how
11:05
as an architectural practice we attacking sustainability
11:09
using them tools
