Winning the Work Depends on the project Starts with BIM requirements or project specific requirements Will show examples of past projects, visualizations if available: Section cut of floor to see systems (show coordination betweenstructure and services) Building walkthrough with a section cut Interior views showing lighting and materials All about communicating with clients Integral’s reputation in sustainability helps them win work Primarily visualizations Schematic Design Sustainability team will build own model and share existing models Early calculations are not visual, depends on project requirements Technology Used: Grasshopper for calculations IES (generally okay, interoperability with Revit is not impressive) Dynamo (to create workflows) Helix used for CFD Design Development and Construction Documentation Model gets more detailed Making sure the space works Will only do they typical regions, not the entire building due to possibility and likelihood of change in the design Show the results and performance-smart buildings, digital twins Will use heat map images and animations (wind flow through buildings) Is currently developing their own system in house–needs to be highly customizable, adjustable, and iterative Live data in models, real-time adjustments will be key Old visualization team developed in Unreal Engine, interested in mixed reality VR is still currently somewhat ‘gimmicky’ to MEPs Would rather use a large screen and gaming controller rather than VR Main platform in PlanGrid Revizto is used as well Expensive but better for contractors No in-house licenses Augmented reality is a very useful tool for onsite Very powerful for QA and for overlaying future systems Use DaLux for AR NY Office is primarily for data analytics Developed a web-based system that allows clients to interact with 3D heat maps Helps with learning and understanding Clients like it Using the right tool for the right purpose Navisworks (primary) BIM360 Not a lot of pickups, but teams who use it are having success Used for client presentations (MEP meant to be in the background, not a hugeneed for beautiful visualizations unless systems or surfaces are exposed) Virtual mockups: Use Navisworks on a technical basis If Enscape had similar capabilities, it would see more adoption Proof of Concepts Energy and Daylight Analysis Would be the most difficult to increase uptake if developed Revit Filters Want to show system colors, just highlight, no model changes–functional visualization Have some scripts developed that already does this Annotation and Markup Definitely sees a need Would have the most increase in uptake if developed
