Large modern buildings are permeated with sensors and systems\u2014plumbing, electrical, heating, cooling, ventilation, security, elevators, room scheduling, and, more and more often, even energy generation through wind turbines and solar panels. From earliest conception to demolition, efficient operations increasingly rely on building information modeling (BIM).<\/p>\n<p>While the term has been around since the 1970s, BIM began to be commonly used about 15 years ago. A 2002\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Autodesk\">Autodesk<\/a>\u00a0white paper defined BIM as its \u201cstrategy for the application of information technology to the building industry,\u201d\u00a0and other software vendors also began to develop BIM products around that time. Autodesk BIM 360 is the company\u2019s BIM software family for construction professionals, consisting of BIM 360 Glue, BIM 360 Layout, BIM 360 Docs, BIM 360 Field, BIM 360 Plan, and Building Ops.<\/p>\n<p>The mission of Autodesk\u2019s AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) team is \u201cto drive the industry business transformation to BIM,\u201d says Sarah Hodges, director of the company\u2019s construction business line. Hodges, who has a degree in business administration and had her start in software working for the video industry, joined Autodesk\u2019s AEC team about nine years ago. Five or six years ago, Hodges recalls, her team was mostly focused on making people aware of what BIM is and the value it brings. Today, the conversation is mostly about adoption, because BIM has become \u201cpervasive,\u201d she says. This transformation is being driven not only by the software\u2019s users, but also by certain governments and owners who are seeing its value.<\/p>\n<p>Autodesk\u2019s products include CAD, GIS, and BIM tools. \u201cOver the years,\u201d says Hodges, \u201cwe have begun to evolve our portfolio to enable these solutions and file formats to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The Process of BIM\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xyht.com\/constructionbim\/the-process-of-bim\/#sthash.svmxAjAR.dpuf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Read more&#8230;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An analysis of Autodesk\u2019s software suite, BIM 360, reveals how BIM can give project stakeholders unique access and insight across all phases of the AEC design process.
