‘Any architect doing small or medium scaled projects who is also
vested in sustainable design but is not yet doing BIM will enjoy
this book’s overall focus.’-Architosh.com
This work is the leading guide to architectural design within a
building information modeling (BIM) workflow, giving the
practitioner a clear procedure when designing climate-load
dominated buildings. The book incorporates new information related
to BIM, integrated practice, and sustainable design, as well
information on how designers can incorporate the latest
technological tools. Each chapter addresses specific topics, such
as natural ventilation for cooling, passive solar heating,
rainwater harvesting and building hydrology, optimizing material
use and reducing construction waste, and collaborating with
consultants or other building professionals such as engineers and
energy modelers.
