Developments in BIM
Overview
Join us on December 3rd for Light for Life®: Developments in BIM, a one-day virtual symposium focused on the value of BIM in lighting design and the substantial revisions in ANSI/IES TM-32-24 Technical Memorandum: Lighting Parameters for Building Information Modeling, hosted by the IES BIM Committee.
Presentations curated to cover:
- Overview of the new BIM parameters: case studies and why standardization matters
- Lighting design Software support and coordination around TM-32-24
- Next steps – for the committee and you!
Live registrants will receive a code for 25% off the purchase price of the recently published standard, ANSI/IES TM-32-24 Technical Memorandum: Lighting Parameters for Building Information ModelingThis link opens in a new tab. They will also receive complimentary access to the online recording, available approximately 2 weeks following the live event.
Attendees will receive 4 IES continuing education credits (CEUs).

Welcome to the symposium
Introduction
What role will BIM parameter standardization play in industry?
Value of lighting design in BIM
Overview of TM-32 parameter updates and their value to specifiers. Session will include a live demonstration of the new parameters in action, culminating with the export of an IFC file.
Speaker
Parameters in Action
Learn how file formats work in Global Lighting Data Format (GLDF) and how manufacturers can create file formats by utilizing TM-32.
Speaker
Global Perspective
A global perspective on the value of parameter standardization.
10 min break
Implementation: DIALux
The digital lighting planning process. Opportunities that arise through the use of BIM and uniform parameters.
- Import the IFC (Revit) file
- Select luminaires based on TM32 Parameters
- Export IFC file (including luminaires)
- Import the IFC file back to Revit
- Pros and cons; shortcomings and opportunities
Speaker
Implementation: LightStanza
- Export and Sync BIM Parameters between Revit and LightStanza
- Allow for smart and accurate schedules in LightStanza
- Syncing instance-based luminaire types
- Edit geometry in LightStanza
- Improve LEED/WELL score cards (CRI, glare, lighting control/dimming)
Speaker
Implementation: ElumTools
How to use ANSI/IES TM-32-24 BIM parameters with your Revit project.
- Adding required and optional parameters to existing BIM content (Lighting Fixture families)
- Editing parameter information for the project
- Creating a standardized luminaire schedule.
Speaker
BIM in the Wild
A demonstration of BIM (using Revit) to create and document a lighting design. Michael will show how all the elements of good BIM work together for the benefit of the designer, suppliers, manufacturers, and contractors – you will get to know why designers ask for BIM content and what a good Revit family looks like.
Speaker
Moderated Q&A
Coordination efforts, next steps and opportunities
