Texas Adopts BIM for State Design and Construction Projects

摘要

The Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), the agency within the State of Texas that oversees the state's real estate development as owners and operators of state facilities, has adopted building information modeling (BIM) for state design and construction projects. By making BIM the standard for all new buildings, TFC says it can gauge energy usage, as well as forecast energy consumption based on model simulations; model multiple high-performance building scenarios based on minimal design time; simulate or identify security issues related to building type; and connect the model to existing databases or control systems for bi-directional, real-time data exchange.
