Light for Life® Virtual Symposium

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).

Agenda

11:00 am
Opening Remarks

Welcome to the symposium

11:05 am
Introduction

What role will BIM parameter standardization play in industry?

11:20 am
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.

12:00 pm
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.

12:20 pm
Global Perspective

A global perspective on the value of parameter standardization.

12:45 pm
10 min break
12:55 pm
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
1:15 pm
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)
1:30 pm
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.
1:50 pm
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.

2:15 pm
Moderated Q&A

Coordination efforts, next steps and opportunities

3:00 pm
