Building Performance Modeling, Applications and the Scope Ticket Cost: $20.00                                2  HSW CEU 's Presenter:  Tomislav Zigo Over the past 15 years Tomislav Zigo has been an advocate of digital technology implementation as a researcher, designer and during past several years as a designer - builder. His experience includes work in the vanguard of BIM methodology implementation on large healthcare projects; research work in the field of Virtual Reality and Building Performance Analysis; and mentorship positions in a number of local and national architectural firms while transitioning toward BIM adoption. Before joining Clayco in the role of the Director of Virtual Design and Construction he, was a founding partner of ARBA Studios LC, offering both architectural design and BIM consulting services. Tomislav holds a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Rijeka in Croatia and a Master of Architecture degree from Washington University in St. Louis, where he currently teaches two courses on the subjects of BIM methodology integration into sustainable design practice. Description:       This lecture will take a critical look at the available software platforms, their capabilities and applicability for different levels of performance modeling. By exploring the interaction between the simulated environment (climate, insolation) and the virtual building with its physical characteristics (materials, assemblies, passive design strategies, heat transfer, daylighting, embedded energy), we will  determine how different software platforms meet the requirements imposed during the schematic level of project development.  Location: Masonry Institute of St. Louis Local Sponsor: Cannon Design National Sponsor: Gates Precast
