BIM, building information modeling, is a tool to enhance the efficiency of integrated building design including HVAC design. This seminar looks at two different attempts to create building HVAC load calculations using current BIM technology and examines the barriers and success. The ASHRAE HQ building is the example used in the Load Calculations Chapter of the ASHRAE Handbook. Since this example is published and sets a load calculation baseline for comparison, this same example is used for this seminar.
