Group B - Building Story
Our building is an emergency command center located in Washington, DC. It is specifically designed to survive all major emergencies, up to and including a major zombie apocalypse.
This building will be built in 5 years from now in (2018), and will implement all of the latest building technologies we have discussed in this class. In the programming and design phase, the entire design will be completely started and executed using BIM. This will allow everyone in the process, from architects, and engineers to contracts and maintence personnel to use the BIM to show useful data that they need. During the design process, 3D models will be built to demonstrate to the owners of the building (government officials) what the buildings current progress looks like and to successively show its zombie proof design.
The bidding part of the project will implement database technology. This will consist of forms being created that will allow the contracts to bid on the different parts of the construction and then these bids would all be automatically saved in the database, and then available for easy comparison by the owners. This project will also require the contractors to be comfortable with BIM so that they can use models in the field.
The construction will be done by Robots. This will induce a high cost to the building, however this is important due to the impending zombie invasion. Strain gauges will also be used during construction to make sure the robots do not add too much load to any part of the building during construction.
The maintenance, of the building will include BIM models across the building to accurately navigate the building in the event of a panic. A database will be used to save all mechanical data, so in the future savings can be found, and major and minor parts of the system can be post-processed to find energy saving techniques that will allow the building to last long after the power goes out to the rest of the city. The database would also include the zombie attack information for future analysis on what the zombies "undead" load is.
The renovation would include the reconstruction after the zombie attack. This will heavily use the existing BIM model that was created during the design. This will allow for changes to be made quicker, and more accurately.
The demolition will include the collected implosion of the building. The building will implement recyclable materials that will be collected by robots to restart the world in the event of the zombie Apocalypse. Sensors will also be used to make sure no particulates are spread too far into the atmosphere, as the new world, will be a great and green world.
