Introduction to the fundamentals of Building Information Modeling and how they apply to the design and construction industry and a technology-enabled workforce. Introduction to the methods of creation, evaluation, and exchange of Building Information Models. Leveraging BIM and 4D modeling for construction optimization and sustainable building initiatives.

In this lesson, you'll explore how to use 4D simulation to support construction planning and assess the impact of proposed design features on the construction schedule and workflow. This feedback provides valuable information to inform decisions as project teams evaluate and assess potential design features and construction options.

Course Objectives:

Upon the successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

• Explore modeling techniques for creating better and more accurate 4D simulations.
