dc.descriptionThe terms ‘nD modelling’ and ‘nD CAD’ are gaining increased usage in the field of information communication technologies (ICTs) and building design; the concept gaining a heightened profile via the £0.5 million funded 3D to nD modelling project at the University of Salford. An nD model is an extension of the building information model by incorporating all the design information required at each stage of the lifecycle of a building facility (Lee et al, 2003). Thus, a building information model (BIM) is a computer model database of building design information, which may also contain information about the building’s construction, management, operations and maintenance (Graphisoft, 2003).
dc.description.abstractAt present, during the early design stage of a building, different options are assessed using simple tools (tables, graphs and software) that contain a large number of assumptions the very nature of which can bias choice or possibly lead to an inappropriate solution. It can be argued that the only way to provide a rational assessment of options is to use calculation methods that represent in detail the physical processes involved; this usually involves the use of dynamic thermal models. Many designers are of the opinion that, because not all details are known, then such tools are not suitable for application at early stages in the design. This view can be challenged because, even at the concept stage a great deal is known about the building, for example. keywords :nD modelling , road map, construction, tables, graphs and software.
