Common use of Building Information Model Clause in Contracts

Building Information Model. The design team shall develop a BIM model for use in schematic energy modeling with the following criteria: • The model shall define the building footprint and include all exterior walls. • The model shall define all interior walls, with all rooms modeled individually. • All fenestration shall be modeled. • All doors shall be modeled. • All overhangs, sun shades and roof monitors shall be modeled. • All floors must be modeled. • All roofs must be modeled. • All ceilings must be modeled. • All rooms must be bounded. • All room names and numbers must be defined and entered into the element properties. The following information shall also be incorporated into the energy model: • Detailed electric and fuel rates as defined by the local service provider. • Building function and occupancy. • Building operating schedules. • Building lighting information in ▇▇▇▇▇/ft2 and schedules. • Building HVAC equipment information (EER, COP, MBH, kW, tons, etc) and schedules. • Building plug load information (kW, Btuh) and schedules. • Building process load information (kW, Btuh) and schedules. • Building envelope construction components including U-values, SHGC, absorptivity, SRI value, color, thickness, etc, as applicable to the component.
