Diana Chirescu
I am an Architect and BIM/IM Specialist with Architype. As a BIM expert, I joined Architype in 2020 and I’m currently working on several Information Management projects across Scotland, including Maybury Primary School and the innovative low carbon Community Renewable Energy Project (CoRE) in East Ayrshire. I have a particular interest in how low-energy design strategies can be adapted to public sector building standards, as well as how the implementation of digital construction can drive and improve quality according to those standards. I have previously worked on education and transport projects of different scales across Scotland. Before that, I also worked on several large-scale international sports developments and education buildings, most to ISO19650 or BIM Level 2 standards. Highly experienced in project BIM Manager and BIM Coordinator roles I focus on developing schemes in Revit to ISO19650 standards, which has brought significant project efficiencies and quality improvements.
What to expect during the event
Overall construction strategies have led to government initiatives supporting Information Management and Sustainability as separate threads working towards the same goal, a better-quality built environment that responds and improves daily life. Our proposal through this presentation is to highlight the links between the two threads and the opportunities these links bring. Sustainability is integrated as a core driver in many strategy documents developed for large clients, most often in the Project Information Requirements. Design phase goals, construction phase goals, in-use goals and each can be set, tracked, validated, and help achieve the sustainability goals of the project and organisation. We would like to underline the potential to expand the use of IM further in defining asset management requirements and developing models that allow tracking building performance throughout the building life cycle. Key Learning Outcomes 1. What are the commonalities between information management and sustainability initiatives in terms of objectives and methodologies 2. How can Clients integrate sustainability requirements in their overall information management strategy 3. How can the Information Requirements pave the way to more integrated post-occupancy data collection
