BIM for Facility Managers

Description: BIM for Facility Managers [Hardcover] IFMA and Teicholz, Paul Product Overview A practical look at extending the value of Building Information Modeling (BIM)
into facility managementfrom the world's largest international association
for professional facility managersBuilding owners and facility managers are
discovering that Building Information Modeling (BIM) models of buildings are
deep reservoirs of information that can provide valuable spatial and
mechanical details on every aspect of a property. When used appropriately,
this data can improve performance and save time, effort, and money in running
and maintaining the building during its life cycle. It can also provide
information for future modifications. For instance, a BIM could reveal
everything from the manufacturer of a light fixture to its energy usage to
maintenance instructions.BIM for Facility Managers explains how BIM can be
linked to facility management (FM) systems to achieve very significant life-
cycle advantages. It presents guidelines for using BIM in FM that have been
developed by public and private owners such as the GSA. There is an extensive
discussion of the legal and contractual issues involved in BIM/FM integration.
It describes how COBie can be used to name, capture, and communicate FM-
related data to downstream systems. There is also extensive discussion of
commercial software tools that can be used to facilitate this integration.This
book features six in-depth case studies that illustrate how BIM has been
successfully integrated with facility management in real-life projects
