The AIA Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community (TAP) serves as a resource for AIA members, the profession, and the public in the deployment of computer technology in the practice of architecture. TAP leaders monitor the development of computer technology and its impact on architecture practice and the entire building life cycle, including design, construction, facility management, and retirement or reuse.
When project teams are collaborating with building information modeling (BIM), the details of the information being shared and how it is developed are paramount to success. This webinar will provide an introduction to the Level of Development (LOD) Specification - a new industry reference standard that can be used to guide the content of a Building Information Model at various stages of the design and construction process. The discussion will help designers better communicate what their models can be reliably used for and perhaps more importantly, NOT used for. The presentation will include an introduction to the LOD Specification, implementation recommendations, and a project example of it in use. Learning Objectives What is a (LOD) Level of Development specification? What are the benefits of using a LOD to guide a BIM process? What considerations should be given to implementation on a project? How does LOD use change project team discussions? Miss the webinar live? Catch it now online- youtu.be/8MGA3Go7Jk8
