BIM Dimensions (6D & 7D):
6D and 7D BIM are advanced dimensions of Building Information Modelling (BIM) that focus on sustainability and facility management.
6D BIM (Sustainability):
- Sustainability Analysis: 6D BIM involves analyzing building performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
- Environmental Impact: 6D BIM helps assess the environmental impact of building design and operations.
7D BIM (Facility Management):
- Facility Management: 7D BIM involves using BIM data for facility management, maintenance, and operations.
- Asset Management: 7D BIM helps manage building assets, including equipment, systems, and spaces.
Benefits of 6D and 7D BIM:
1. Improved Sustainability: Enhanced analysis and optimization of building performance and energy efficiency.
2. Efficient Facility Management: Streamlined facility management and maintenance processes.
3. Data-Driven Decision-Making: Informed decision-making through data analysis and insights.
4. Reduced Operating Costs: Optimized building performance and reduced operating costs.
Applications of 6D and 7D BIM:
1. Sustainable Design: 6D BIM for sustainable design and energy efficiency analysis.
2. Facility Management: 7D BIM for facility management, maintenance, and operations.
3. Asset Management: 7D BIM for asset management and tracking.
By leveraging 6D and 7D BIM, building owners and operators can optimize building performance, reduce operating costs, and improve sustainability.
