Working with LEED & CHPS

Through proper manipulation of a building information model you can provide real time feedback on the cost and payback period of a variety of potential LEED or CHPS strategies including water use, insulation efficiency, glazing performance, etc. The BIM data can calculate a variety of requirements such as:

Recycled & Renewable Materials
Assign the material such as carpet, metal roofing, insulation, wheel stops, steel, high fly ash concrete, etc. to building elements

• The BIM Model can track the:
  • Total recycled materials with quantities calculations
  • Rapidly renewable materials with cost total value calculation

Water Conservation:
Reclaimed water for irrigation, low flow faucets and showers, waterless urinals, dual-flush toilets, stormwater management bioswales and retention ponds

• The BIM Model can track the:
  • Plumbing fixtures with object list calculations
  • Landscaping and parking use with site area calculations

Heat Island Effect for the Roof:
Roof area minus mechanical equipment, solar energy panels and appurtenances.

• The BIM Model can track the:
  • Roof area with surface calculations
  • Area of mechanical and solar panels with object surface calculation
