Climate plays an important role in the performance of all buildings, especially small or thin ones. When designers have access to solid, quantitative data, new opportunities for designing with climate become available. This session will explore the benefits of using BIM for designing architectural projects whose response to climate is expressed in their forms. If you work for a sustainably-oriented practice, this session will enable you to utilize BIM software to further your success.
