Digital Design : BIMCO

Module Overview

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that allows collaboration among building professionals so that they can efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. This subject equips me with practical BIM modelling skills for creating virtual models of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. In addition, essential knowledge about these systems, such as their working principles, system diagrams interpretation, and the energy optimization techniques will also be covered.
