Building Information Modeling simplifies incorporation, compatibility and connection in the construction industry by providing a 3D view of a project containing all parameters and its mechanisms. It is ideal for transferring information to improve building design and presentation. Different BIM-based software, used depending on the job and needs, results in data loss during the information exchange process and unwanted duplication of job data retrieval.

BIM Course enhances knowledge sharing management, reducing the time and cost of solving problems related to constructability and project coordination. In addition, it allows architects and structural engineers to visualize modifications and conflicts and assists immediate decision making, significantly reducing rework and optimizing project times and costs. Also, by detecting errors in advance and automating variables that were traditionally used in “manual” processes, BIM enhances automation of detail engineering and documentation processes, reducing work times and increasing project quality.

In some developed countries of the Americas and Europe, the number of construction projects using BIM technology has exceeded that of traditional construction projects. Architects and engineers share information more effectively related to sustainability with the help of BIM applications, such as daylighting and energy consumption, and thus the sustainability analysis can be seamlessly integrated into the design process. BIM is also helpful for designers to utilize the existing building data to improve the default configuration of building early stages of new building design. BIM software provides efficient solutions to ease the environmental effects of the construction process.

The various factors which affect the energy use of a building include building location, size and shape and its parts. In internal spaces, heat and light occurred which reduces the need for energy use. It results in improved efficiency and reduced energy use by reducing heating and lighting units. In the energy simulation process, BIM is considered an important factor for users to create a high

potential in sustainable building design. Thus, evaluate the energy performance effectively before constructing the building on site.

There are as many approaches to architecture as there are buildings in the world, Lumion is designed to adapt to your unique processes and workflows. Lumion gives you more time to design, refine your idea, perfect your craft, and fully experience the broader impact of your project on its surrounding environment. Lumion supports the most common file formats, no matter the CAD or 3D software you use, you can always rely on Lumion and effortlessly import your models, accelerating your workflow as you iterate and further develop the design.

Lumion guides the process of context creation to capture the environment surrounding your design in a stress-free, pleasurable way.  Lumion helps architects place their designs in the context of a real-life scenario. You can add the Aurora Borealis effect to reflect the majesty of your design’s location.

You can even find in-program sound objects to increase or decrease in volume allowing you to create a wall of ambient background noise. Text effects give you the ability to communicate the names of important rooms or buildings in your video, without having to edit the video in other software. You can simultaneously model your architectural design in CAD and render in Lumion with Lumion LiveSync. Whether you’re modifying the height of the walls, adding windows or doors, or even changing materials in your CAD software, your Lumion project will automatically update and show these changes.

Lumion is designed to solve social problems through design, it could be about aesthetics and expression of precision, technique, and detail. Lumion offers real-time feedback and lightning-quick rendering speeds to express your unique vision. There are no barriers to testing and exploring the ideas that will help you produce your very best work. No matter what you’re trying to achieve, Lumion gives you the clarity you need to take an idea and bring it to life.
