Glossary BIM model A three-dimensional digital simulation, typically of a building or other built form, which is both parametric and database-driven. Building information modeling (BIM) The methodology or process of creating a parametric database-driven digital model of a building or built environment. Understood within the practice of building information modeling, especially on large complex projects, is the collaboration required of various team members during all design and construction phases to add, delete, modify, enhance, or otherwise update the BIM model for the benefit of the overall project and team. Integrated project delivery (IPD) A project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures, and practices into a
process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction [1]. Lean thinking An approach to do more and more with less and less – less human effort, less equipment, less time, and less space – while coming closer and closer to providing customers with exactly what they value [2]. Sustainable design An approach to design whereby the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs [3].
Definition of the Subject While a nascent understanding of the need for a more sustainable approach to design and construction has been around for decades, only recently have there been appropriate methods and tools available that are substantial and mature enough to help move a design and construction team toward a more integrated approach and, therefore, a more sustainable project. For these last few decades, sustainable thinking in both academia and practice has progressed awkwardly, relying on old tools and methods while attempting to accomplish fundamentally different (i.e., sustainable) results. The mainstream availability of integrated delivery processes, as well as building information modeling tools that have been tested in the field with positive results, suggests that the industry is on the verge of a true integration of philosophy, process, and product.
