Content

The course Advanced Building Information Delivery covers the technological basics of BIM and addresses computational methods for information modeling (semantic modeling) of buildings as well as methods for process modeling. It also covers the important aspect of the interoperability of BIM software products and describes some of the standardized data formats and classification systems used for information exchange in the building industry.

The course includes the following elements:

Process modeling
Information modeling
Information Delivery Specifications and and Product Data Templates.
