PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
ii
conclusions for complex problems that cannot be solved by
straightforward application of knowledge, theories and
techniques applicable to the engineering discipline as
against problems given at the end of chapters in a typical
text book that can be solved using simple engineering
theories and techniques; that may not have a unique
solution. For example, a design problem can be solved in
many ways and lead to multiple possible solutions, that
require consideration of appropriate constraints
/requirements not explicitly given in the problem statement
such as cost, power requirement, durability, product life,
etc. which need to be defined (modelled) within appropriate
mathematical framework; and that often require use of
modern computational concepts and tools, for example, in
the design of an antenna or a DSP filter.

1. PRINCIPLES OF PLANNING AND ORIENTATION
Building Planning is the arrangement of various components or units of a building in a systematic manner so as to form a
meaningful and homogeneous structure to meet its functional purpose. The arrangement of the various rooms in the building is known as
Planning of Building. The basic objective of planning the building is to arrange all the units of the building on all floors at a given level
according to their functional requirements. By doing this, one can make the best use of space available for building.
These principles are not as rigid as laws of nature, certain deviations from these principles are necessary and inadequacies in them are to
be met with by an individual.
1. Orientation:
Proper orientation means setting or placing of the rooms of the residential building which allow the inmates of the house to
enjoy the utmost whatever is good and to avoid whatever is bad in respect of comforts in the elements of nature such as the sun, wind and
rain. good orientation means placements of rooms in relation to sun, wind, rain, topography and outlook and at the same time providing a
convenient access both to the courtyard, compound or street.
2. Privacy:
1
Privacy is an important part of building planning. Privacy may be from one part to another of the same building or could be
from neighbouring buildings, streets, etc. In residential buildings, every room should have certain privacy which can be secured carefully
planning the entrance, path-ways, and drives. Proper grouping of rooms, good positioning of doors and windows, lobbies, or screens can
give required internal privacy. Toilet rooms, bedrooms, water closet and urinals should have absolute privacy.
3. Grouping:
Grouping in building planning means setting different rooms of a building according to their inter-relationship of invitation
and transition. The rooms arranged in the layout in a proper correlation of their functions and in due proximity with each other.
The dining room should be close to the kitchen. The kitchen should be kept away from the main living room. Main
bedrooms should have independent and separate access from each room towards the sanitary units. In an office building, hospitals, etc.
the administrative department should be located centrally for convenience and economy of services.
4. Circulation:
Access or internal connection between rooms on the same floor or between floors is known a circulation. Circulation
between rooms of the same floor is called horizontal circulation like- passages, corridors, halls, etc. Circulation between various floors is
known as vertical circulation, like- stairs, lifts, etc. Horizontal Circulation should be independent, short, and straight not invade the
property of any room. All the passages should be well ventilated and lighted. Stairs should also be well lighted and ventilated and
properly planned in regard to width, rise, and tread. Stairs should not have winder steps.
5. Sanitation:
2
Sanitation of building not only associated with urinals, bath-rooms, wash-basins, sinks but also the overall lighting and
ventilation. All the parts of a building should have well lighting and ventilation to maintain good hygienic conditions. This could be done
in a natural way or in an artificial way (air condition). Necessary provision to facilitate the cleaning of the building be installed. Washing
closets, lavatories, urinals, bathrooms like sanitary conveniences should be installed adequate in number in relation to the occupant load.
6. Flexibility:
Flexibility means planning the rooms in such a way that though originally designed for a specific purpose, may be used for
other purposes also when desired. For designing houses for middle-class families or other buildings where the economy is the main
consideration flexibility should always be considered. If large space is needed in a certain time a house to accommodate the gathering. It
can be obtained by removing a removable partition wall or curtain between the room and the dining room. Alternatively, an open yard,
garden, or verandah can also be provided.
7. Elegance:
Elegance is the overall effect produced by elevation and general layout of the plan of a building. To get good elegance of a
building it is better if elevation is developed first and then the plan is adjusted accordingly. Selection of site or open plot for the
construction of building greatly affects the elegance. Building located in depression will give bad elegance whereas building on an
elevated spot gives an impressive appearance. Buildings located on backward sloping upwards ground give good elevation & elegance.
8. Economy:
The economy is a major factor in building planning. To fit the proposed scheme within the limitations of the resources and
funds certain alterations and omissions in the original plan have to make. But while considering the economy, the required strength and
durability of the structure should not be compromised.
3
Some simple economy achieving approaches in buildings are,

5. BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
INTRODUCTION
Building information modeling is a process supported by various tools, technologies and contracts involving the generation
and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places.
BIM project life-cycle encourages collaboration of the entire project team during the full life-cycle. BIM also provides
access to seamless communication with minimal loss of information and enables the team to make critical project decisions early in the
process.
BIM is currently perceived as the only direction for the construction industry to increase productivity and to develop high
quality and sustainable construction projects. It has been made an industry wide mandatory process and is followed by many countries.
Early adopters are already reaping the benefits of the change with greater efficiency. There has been a rise in productivity and also a gain
in the competitive edge.
BIM – MANAGEMENT
BIM is the process of managing & maintaining information rich 3D models during the course of a project life cycle. BIM as
Management involves working with the models to successfully maintain and communicate the project information. The process of
managing a BIM project is different from the traditional way of working. BIM projects require all project stakeholders to be involved at
the early stage. BIM encourages closer collaboration with the team members avoiding loss of information.
20
1. Technology
BIM Technology is radically developed with new tools introduced into the market frequently. Models require special hard-
ware and software and it is one of the main aspects to consider before starting a BIM project. BIM Data is heavier in size and more
complex and requires the team to gain the skills-set to manage a project using BIM.
2. Schedule Management
Project schedule in a BIM environment is organized differently from the traditional workflow. BIM Project encourages the
team members to make decisions early in the project and provides the requires information for this. This requires the project schedule to
accommodate more time for the pre-construction phases of the project.
3. Collaboration
Collaboration is the key to succeed in any construction project. BIM models enable to team to work in more collaborative
environment. BIM Collaboration enables all project stakeholders to access critical project information at all stages of the project more
accurately. BIM Collaboration is made easy by having the team to follow a standard methodology for modelling and communication from
the beginning.
Adopting BIM for a project requires upfront preparation with standards and workflows and BIM specific training to be conducted for the
team members.
BENEFITS OF BIM
Benefits of working in a BIM environment are evident across the project life cycle from design through maintenance.
21
The clarity gained through enhanced communication of well-organized project information with the help of BIM models shows an over-
all increase in productivity and project quality.
Building Information Modelling has proven record of increase in productivity and the quality of the project. BIM enables better design
decisions by allowing the project teams to develop and experience the building virtually before the construction. Communicating the
project information visually using 3D environment highly reduces the loss of information.
At an organisational level, implementing BIM not only keeps the organization up to date with the industry practices but also has several
other benefits.
Increased productivity
Enhanced communication
Reduced conflicts & RFIs
Improved control over information
Control over consultants and other project stake holders
Control on the budget
Increase in over-all project quality
Competitive advantage
New business opportunities
Revit
22
Revit is a well-known BIM construction software that aims to solve different architectural and design problems. It was
developed by Autodesk and is one of the most popular solutions in the industry. A lot of different specialists can take advantage of
Revit’s feature list, including architects, designers, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) specialists, contractors, and more. The
software itself offers an intelligent approach to different stages of the construction process via models.
This software is Microsoft Windows-exclusive, and can significantly reduce the miscommunication troubles by managing different parts
of the process within the same system. This same system also boosts overall coordination efforts, and you can even simulate different
projects’ visuals with that. Since Revit is considered a 4D BIM – it can also track the entire lifecycle of a specific construction project,
from first concepts down to the regular maintenance and/or demolition.
Navisworks
Navisworks is another BIM solution created by Autodesk. The main difference between Navisworks and Revit is that
Navisworks is more about being a project review solution for AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) professionals. As with
Revit, it is also capable of working with MS Windows, and it can also work together with other Autodesk 3D solutions to open and
combine their models, review them and navigate through them with barely any difficulty.
There are plenty of BIM-related solutions of any shape or form, and it should not be that difficult to find the one which is the best for
that company.
