This document is meant to provide insight into the requirements needed for life cycle management integration with the BIM model. This document aims to define the baseline for BIM protocols and is developed to ensure data and modeling consistency for components critical to the life cycle management process. This document will also be used to validate the information across all buildings and project phases based on industry best practices and the current capabilities of available BIM software. The University expects that the Contractor and the Project Team will be committed to the use of BIM as the primary design, documentation, coordination, collaboration, and visualization platform.University BIM GoalsThe BIM process will inform and direct team collaboration and development during a project. The development of the BIM model will be within the co-location guidelines to form a base for the Contractor, Designers, Sub-contractors, Vendors and University Project Team members to collaborate on a new Revit Model for the proposed project. The models will be made available to key stakeholders to be used to visualize, coordinate, schedule, and analyze design intent and constructability throughout the project, including closeout. The BIM model will accurately reflect as-built condition. BIM is the process that creates a digital representation of all physical features of the project. These features need to be not only accurate for construction, but be robust enough to integrate with other programs correctly and efficiently. University wants to have the confidence in the as-built models, will have all of the proper information archived so they can be reference without fail. At coordination milestones throughout the project, University will be an active participant, not only checking and accepting models, but also validating via electronic script query and with many sample runs with the actual lifecycle software. University is interested in the abilities of laser scanning capabilities to ensure models accuracy. The University desires to evaluate the potential benefits of this technology jointly with the Project team. The BIM model will integrate and interact with programs used by Space Management and Facilities.At the conclusion of the project an as-built BIM model will be available for integration into a Lifecycle Management solution to provide facilities management capabilities. In order to meet that objective, it is important that the guidelines presented in this document be followed. The model will integrate with the programs for Regulatory Inspection: Joint Commission Inspections (TMA –Maintenance), Facilities: Operations/Maintenance (Maximo, BAS Seimens HVAC Systems, CMMS, IEC Honeywell Fire Alarm) and Space Management: Inventory (ArchiBus). Other departments with interest in integrating with the model are IT Telecommunication (OneView), Clinical Engineering, Inventory, and Accounting.Lifecycle Management Software/Revit integration will not require major alterations and will be used as a tool to assess and validate the integration throughout the development of the model.Implementation PlanUniversity uses BIM standards, technologies, and procedures to realize improvements in the design and construction quality, and provide a highly accurate representation of the facility. With an established BIM Guideline for the University, all projects are required to provide comprehensive and consistent building information as well as consistent 3D level of representation.The Project team will coordinate a highly integrated BIM deliverable inclusive of all disciplines. The creation of the final model as well as the information identified within the models will be seamlessly integrated with other discipline models. This content in this document provides the requirements for a BIM baseline approach focused on the life cycle requirements for the client. OwnershipThe University has ownership and all rights to all files including BIM Models and Facility Data developed for the project. The University may make use of this data following any deliverable. In contributing content to the Model, the Model Element Author does not convey any ownership right in the content provided or in the software used to generate the content. Unless otherwise granted in a separate license, any subsequent Model Element Author’s and Model User’s right to use, modify, or further transmit the Model is specifically limited to the design and construction of the Project, and nothing contained in this BIM Guideline conveys any other right to use the Model for another purpose.For purposes of this BIM Guideline Digital Data is defined as information, communications, drawings, or designs created or stored for the Project in digital form, including those developed by the Project team, and the University and its consultants, for use in preparation of two-dimensional (2D) printed hard copy construction documents using Computer Aided Design and Building Information Management software. Digital data will be used for construction purposes.The term “Project team” shall mean the aggregate of the various entities involved in the design and construction of the Project inclusive of the following: The Medical Center’s Project Management Team including the University Representative and the University’s consultants, including those in- house and third party consultants preparing specifications intended to become part of the Contract Documents. The University may be referred to as “UCSF” Any exceptions to these rules require advanced approval by the University Representative. The Building Information Modeling process will be required on all new construction projects and major additions/renovations contracted by the University on or after the adoption of this document. University has made every attempt to provide these standards as complete as possible. However, if there are items not covered in this guide, please contact the University BIM Manager for guidance.Building Information Modeling GuidelinesTechnology Infrastructure RequirementsAll project participants are required to have the following software in order to participate in the University BIM design and construction process. BIM software to be used is the latest version of the following:BIM USEDISCIPLINE(if applicable)SOFTWAREDesign AuthoringArchREVIT ArchitectureDesign AuthoringMEPREVIT MEPDesign AuthoringStructureREVIT StructureDesign AuthoringCivilCivil 3DCoordinationConstructionNavisworks ManageFabricationConstructionREVITProject ManagementConstructionCMiCHVAC FabricationConstructionREVIT MEPPlumbing FabricationConstructionREVIT MEPElectrical FabricationConstructionREVIT MEPStructural FabricationConstructionREVIT StructureCollaboration SiteAllProjectWise**Facility ManagementIntegrationMaximo***Space ManagementIntegrationArchibus**** Use ONLY if manufacturing tool does not accept REVIT files.** Provided by the UNIVERSITY*** Shown as reference. BIM model needs to fully integrate with these programs.Project Collaboration The BIM modeling process will be coordinated and run by a “BIM Coordinator” to be designated by the Design Build Contractor and outlined in the BIM Execution Plan (BEP). Their responsibilities will include but are not limited to the managing the BIM model development from initial design through the as-built model turnover. The BIM Coordinator will work closely with University Project Management team, inclusive of key Facilities Management personnel, to identify and implement successful integration of the record model into life cycle management software and ensure the models accuracy according to the processes outlined in this document.Attachment #4 provides a basic outline for the collaboration process and procedures. Throughout the design and model development the University Project Management team will be involved with coordinating owner required information. To ensure successful integration into life cycle management software milestone reviews at the design development (DD) and construction document (CD) phase will allow the University Project Management team, inclusive of key Facilitates Management personnel, to export BIM modeling data into these designated programs to ensure capability. During the development of the BIM Execution Plan (BEP) the required model outputs allowing for this integration will be determined. The Project team is required to use the University designated collaboration site (ProjectWise) for all model and document collaboration. All Project Team collaboration will happen at the University Integration Center for Design and Construction office. Project team members will be required to be housed within this space throughout the duration of the project per the co-location requirements described elsewhere. A minimum meeting schedule is provided below. The BEP will elaborate and expand on these requirements.MEETING TYPEPROJECT STAGEFREQUENCYPARTICIPANTSBIM Requirements Kick-offProgrammingOnceArch/Contractor/ *BIM Execution Plan DemonstrationProgrammingOnceArch/Contractor/ *Design Coordination/QCSD/DD/BiddingOnce/StageArch/Contractor/ *Design Coordination/QCCDMonthlyArch/Contractor/ *Constructability Coordination/QCConstructionMonthlyArch/Contractor/ *Final Punch listConstructionOnceArch/Contractor/ *Lifecycle BIM PlanningConstructionOnceArch/Contractor/ ** University Project Management Team: University BIM Manager, Project Manager, and University Facilities Management Representative. Sheet Numbering ConventionFollow the file naming conventions for all project files on the Facility Management computer system. The intent of this naming convention is to give each file on our computer network a unique name that can be utilized to retrieve files and information from our computer network utilizing applicable query tool. The file name format needs to be followed. The dash (-) is used in the file name to separate the section fields. Place an ‘x’ where sections are not used, a place holder. See Attachment #2- File Naming Convention.Room Naming ConventionRefer to Room Numbering Protocol. All room numbers to be coordinated at project start. Final room naming convention according to the described Room Numbering Protocol will be provided from the initial design phase. In order for integration into life cycle management software to be successful the Room Naming Convention must be followed. Alternate “design” room numbers do not allow for integration into life cycle management software and are therefore no allowed.Space ManagementTo meet the needs of UNIVERSITY’s space management in Archibus, this document provides the standards, features and deliverables required in all University CAD drawing formats. At this time REVIT 2014 is being used, in order to have available floor plans and space database prior to beneficial occupancy.Equipment Naming ConventionAll items will have a unique mark or tag. Name all identical items the same, but with a unique number (i/e EF-1, EF-2, etc.) Consult with University Project Management team to align all nomenclature convention with existing items. Use the same nomenclature throughout project and through Lifecycle of building. All Revit models must contain the required equipment data. University will provide the Project team with University specific Revit Template files that will schedule University required equipment information parameters within each Revit Model(s). The data will be entered by each specific trade according to the Revit Model Parameters will be outlined in the BIM Execution Plan (BEP). Data entry should be completed as soon as the equipment is chosen and/or upon startup. Data entry should not be held until the end of the project.

In addition to the BIM model file types in Native Format, documents will be issued in 2D as .PDF. One model type (Revit). All as-built record drawings and documentation, at the time of turnover, must be provided in Revit. Elements included in the model must be detailed in 3D documentation for internal University use. Elements must be clearly marked or tagged and visual in 3D documentation. All record drawings and shop drawings must be submitted in AutoCAD Revit RVT model/file and a full set of PDF files. Model Units:Building information models shall be created that include all geometry, physical characteristics and product data needed to describe the design and construction work to within 5’-0” of building envelope. All drawings, schedules, simulations, and services required for assessment, review, bidding and construction shall be extractions from this model. Design set-up for managing large models is at the discretion of the Project team. Due to large file sizes of BIM models, model units should be created in a logical manner determined by project scope.All models should be created using True North coordinates. Firms are required to verify building true north coordinates. Imperial measurement system will be used for all modeling. LOD – Level of Development:The following outlines University Medical Center’s definition of Level of Development – LOD for building information model – BIM deliverables. As defined by the AIA document E202-2008.LOD 100- The Model Element may be graphically represented in the Model with a symbol or other generic representation, but does not satisfy the requirements for LOD 200.LOD 200- The Model Element is graphically represented within the model as a generic system object, or assembly with approximate quantities, size, shape, location, and orientation. Non-Graphic information may also be attached to the Model Elements.LOD 300- The model element is graphically represented within the model as a specific system, object or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, location, and orientation. Non-graphic information may also be attached to the model element.LOD 350- The model element is graphically represented within the model as a specific system, object or assembly in terms of quantity, size, shape, orientation and interfaces with other building systems. Non graphic information may also be attached to the model element.LOD 400- The model element is graphically represented within the model as a specific system, object or assembly in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation with detailing, fabrication, assembly, and installation information. Non graphic information may also be attached to the model element.LOD 500- The model element is a field verified representation in terms of size, shape, location, quantity, and orientation. Non graphic information may also be attached to the model elements. The information required to achieve a LOD 500 model element will be determined with coordination from the UNIVERSITY Project Management team, inclusive of the key Facilities Management personnel. Examples of information required for certain components are highlighted in Attachment #3- Model Parameters. Attachment #1 – LOD Development details model components and their required LOD at the as-built model state. BIM Uses Matrix The University expects the Project Team to utilize BIM to the extent described below. The BEP must outline how these Model Uses will be incorporated into the BIM process.

Required files/documents will be uploaded to the University designated collaboration site per the Deliverables Schedule. Building Information Models will be imported into external software, Navisworks Manage, that checks each model discipline (architectural, MEP, and structural) for clashes between elements, clashes of required clearances and other tolerances. Design Professionals, General Contractors, Sub Contractors and Construction Managers are required to coordinate models between disciplines to verify clearance, analyze conflicts/clashes and deliver quality documentation to reduce RFI and Change Order submissions. Models should include all appropriate dimensioning as needed for design intent, analysis, and construction. At each coordination milestone the University will only accept models that are validated with Validation Software- electronic script query, with a sample run with the actual lifecycle software. On some occasions, room scanning will be used to verify model accuracy if deemed necessary.PHASEDISCIPLINETOLERANCEDesign DocumentsArchAccurate to +/- 1” of Actual Size and LocationConstruction DrawingsContractorAccurate to +/- .25” of Actual Size and LocationSoftware shall be capable of interfacing with the Project teams BIM authored software. In all cases, model building and infrastructure systems to a level that allows the team to verify clearances, analyze conflicts/clashes and properly coordinate the work with all other aspects of the project. The Project Team shall follow the guidelines and requirements detailed in this document for BIM related services.University will archive the model(s) after each phase of design and construction. The most current model will be accessible to the team at the start of the next phase. Project drawings and schedules required for agency review, bidding, and construction will be extracted from this model. LOD standards will drive both model maturity and constructability paths. This will create a history of models throughout the project. The final “as-built” model is what will be integrated to the University lifecycle programs.The intent is for the model to be created as a complete total system layout. This requires the modeling to be completed without gap in systems and space layouts. See major Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Component Requirements for design expectations by system.Major Mechanical/Electrical,/Plumbing Component RequirementsHVAC DuctAll ductwork (regardless of size), grilles, registers, diffusers, dampers, access panels, air moving equipment, hangers, supports, maintenance clearances (no-fly zones), and any item that may impact coordination with other disciplines.

Conduits, of any size, shall not be routed through no-fly zones. . “Crop circles” objects indicate approved distances by the structural engineer between locations of anchors attached to decking used to fasten hangers. Crop circles cannot overlap and can be modeled using flat cylinders.University BIM Models for Existing Buildings: University will make Revit 2014.rvt model files available for existing buildings. University takes no responsibility for the accuracy of these models, therefore, each model should be field verified for accuracy. Incorporate existing building information to the current project. Information from any previous attempts to validate model accuracy will be shared with responsible parties to establish confidence in provided model accuracy.BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING EXECUTION PLAN TEMPLATEA BIM Execution Plan (BEP) is a living document that provides a framework to determine project-specific BIM goals, processes, information exchanges and protocols to fully utilize the various aspects of BIM. The BIM Coordinator for the project will document the required BEP information, schedule and lead the BIM meetings and establish and implement protocols for revisions and sharing the BEP. The BEP will reflect input from the Project Team, and will be posted for common viewing on the collaboration site. Reference the BIM Guidelines where applicable in the BIM Execution plan, and identify any deviations from the BIM Guideline. The Project Team develops BEP for each project. This template defines what elements need to be part of a BEP. The BEP will be developed with input from the University during the initial design phase to provide groundwork for continued coordination throughout the BIM process. It will detail how BIM will be used at the start of the design process, producing a coordinated set of drawings for agency approval and bidding and thru the entire construction process of the project. A sample outline of the BEP is included below. This serves as a basis for the minimum criteria needing to be identified in the BEP plan.

DefinitionsAAs-Built DocumentsA-Built Documents are the collection of paper drawings or electronic drawings that typically reside in the contractor’s onsite trailer that contain mark-ups, annotations, and comments about changes that have been made to the contract documents during the construction phase.As-Built ModelDesign Intent Models that have been updated throughout the construction process. These changes and updates have been communicated from the Contractor to the Design Team through the comments, annotations, and mark-ups from the As-Built Documents. These typically, but not always, are discipline specific models.BBIM Execution Plan (BEP)The BEP helps to define roles and responsibilities within a project team.BIM Proficiency Matrix (BPM)A matrix that was designed to measure the expertise of a firm as it relates to using a BIM process on projects. It will be used as one of the many selection criteria during the selection .O.B.I.E. – Construction Operations Building Information ExchangeC.O.B.I.E. is a standard of information exchange that allows information to be captured during design and construction in a format that can be used during the operations of a building once completed.Critical Path ModelingCritical Path Modeling is a method of demonstrating integrated Project Delivery. It sets a plan within the design team that accounts for the activities of each discipline and how they interact with each other. It builds upon a critical path method for those activities, and allows the project team to schedule a complete project.DDesign TeamThe Design Team is considered to be the Architect and all of the constraints that provide design services for a project. These design services can be rendered at any time during the project.DOE2 – Department of Energy Version 2DOE2 is a file type that is an open file format. This file format is used by most energy modeling software. It is also an approved file type for LEED simulations..DWF.DWF is a file type that was developed by Autodesk to be locked file for drawing sheets and model data. It can be used as a file transfer for estimating data, mark-ups, and other third party software. It can be a combination of 3D and 2D information within the same file..DWG.DWG is a native AutoCAD file format. It is a widely used file format for exchanging drawing information and 3D information to different programs. While not a database file type, it still has many uses for exchanging information.DXF: "Drawing Exchange Format" and is used in exchanging components between CAD software applicationsFFICM – Post Secondary Facilities Inventory and Classification ManualFICM is a standard that describes practices for initiating, conducting, reporting, and maintaining an institutional facilities inventory.G.GBxmlA .GBxml file is a Green Building file type. It is used to run simulations through energy modeling software. It is a widely accepted file format for those types of software.IIPD – Integrated Project DeliveryIPD describes a contractual relationship between Owner, Architect, and Contractor. It is a project delivery method that integrates people, systems, business structure and practices into a process that collaboratively harness 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.IPD MethodologyIPD Methodology is a concept that uses methods from the IPD contracts, but does not have the contracts actually in place. It idealizes the concepts of integration of all team members to try and benefit the entire project.IPD Methodology PlanThe IPD Methodology Plan is a declaration of how the project team will achieve the goals of an IPD Methodology. The plan can have several components. The completion of a Reverse Phase Schedule or Critical Path Modeling is two examples of an IPD Methodology Plan.IFC: “Industry Foundation Class” is a neutral and open specification that is not controlled by a single vendor or group of vendors. It is an object-based file format.LLEEDThe Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System is a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction. Based on a point system, a building can achieve different ratings based on the performance of the design, construction, and operation of the building.LOD: “Level of development” or “Level of detail” is used to define the process or progress of the models contents. The LOD can change as the project progresses.NNavisworksNavisworks is software that allows for the viewing of multiple model formats. This ability to “view” these files also allows for Navisworks to simulate the interaction between model files. That includes collision reporting, time lining and coordination.No-fly ZonesNo-fly Zones are areas identified in the BIM model with semi-transparent massing rectangles that represent zones necessary for maintenance and repair of equipment, access to valves, access above and below ceiling/wall access panels, access in front of electrical panels, etc. .NWCAn .NWC file is a Navisworks Cache File that is used by Navisworks to quickly read many other file types. All linked files in Navisworks have an .NWC file created automatically. In addition, Revit will export directly to the very small file type of .NWC for quick access by Navisworks..NWDA much larger file than the .NWC, the .NWD file allows a snapshot in time of a Navisworks file. No linked files exist, but all geometry is included..NWFThe .NWF file is a native Navisworks file which has all linked files, clashes, mark-ups, animations, schedules, etc.OObject enabler(s): Application or file in AutoCAD or Navisworks which allows special objects to be seen in those programs. Usually these objects are produced in special fabrication and detailing programs with in AutoCAD.Open ArchitectureOpen Architecture is a concept of creating a framework that helps to describe a common set of rules for how a project is created. This includes what types of software, the interoperability of the information, and how the participants interact with each other. This is different than open standards in that it promotes progress, while not anchoring forward thinkers to a rigid standard.PPhasesThe phrases of a project can be described in two different ways as the adoption of IPD terminology starts to penetrate the BIM Execution Plan and the IPD Methodology Plan. Below is a list of the traditional names followed by the OIPD name.Pre-Design/Conceptualization Phase Schematic Design/Criteria Design Phase DesignDevelopment/Detailed Design Phase Construction Documents/Implementation PhasePre-Fabrication: The process of developing and fabricating components in office and not onsite.POS: Penetrations, Openings, & Sleeve drawings, these drawings are a composite of all trade files that have Penetrations, Openings, & Sleeves in slabs.RRecord DrawingThe production of Record Drawings is the capturing of the As-Built Document’s annotation, comments, and mark-ups in a drawing format only. This does not typically include the updating of any models.Record ModelThe Record Model is a final model incorporating all changes throughout the construction process. Record Models consist of Record Design Intent Models (by Designer) and Construction As-Built Models (by Contractor).Reverse Phase SchedulingReverse Phase Scheduling is a method of demonstrating integrated Project Delivery. It sets a plan within the design team that accounts for the activities of each discipline and how they interact with each other. It uses the completion date as a point of work backward from the schedule all of the project’s activities..RVTAn .RVT file is a Revit native file type. It is also the deliverable file format for all projects. This includes all of the Design Team’s models.SSBIM – Simple Building Information ModelingSBIM is a concept of producing a “light” model that can be used for simulating the building’s performance very early within the design process. The SBIM is the process of modeling only the exterior envelope, and the interior volumes to produce a model that energy modeling software can use.Shop Drawing(s): Shop Drawings are produced from the coordinated models of each trade and include all dimension and labeling. Usually done at a 1/4"=1'-0" and submitted for approval by the Project team. These drawings are then used in the field for fabrication and erection.Signoff Model: A Sign off model is a coordination model that is complete and signed off for construction.TTMY2/TMY3The TMY2/3 file format is a Typical Meteorological Year file. It is used in conjunction with a .GBxml file to create energy simulations ................
