After a freezing morning in Politecnico, here’s the couple of references we recommended. We post them here so that everybody can have a look at them: when something new comes up, we’ll refill the list.
– Employer Information Requirements and Educational Facilities –
- prejudicial to check out the work done by prof. Di Giuda and Valentina Villa on the Competitive Bids for Liscate’s School: we find it to be the first Italian EIR with such a high quality standard and you find it here;
- you may also find interesting the contribution “Clients and Users’ Involvement in a Digitized Design Process” by Silvia Mastrolembo Ventura and Davide Ghelfi in the booklet Digitizing the analogical thoughts in architecture: a menace or a promise? edited by Barbara Angi, Massimiliano Battisti, Silvia Mastrolembo Ventura. It’s a free eBook, you can find it here.
There’s a lot to be found on this topic: the British Government ran a pilot project about schools, to field test the effectiveness of BIM, and Mark Bew himself (as in the Bew-Richards triangle) talks about the benefit of BIM in terms of how many schools they could build for free with the savings from the previous schools, thanks to BIM.
The class we were chatting about, in which we simulate the interaction between a digital EIR and a designer, is here.

- Autodesk Building Performance Analysis Certificate: «a free, online self paced educational program, for students, educators and professionals, that will help improve your knowledge of building science fundamentals and Autodesk building performance analysis tools».
.. - In order to understand the importance of prepping a model with the analysis tool already in mind, check out M.M. EL Sheikk, “Comparing the Performance of Eight Building Energy Performance Simulation Models on the Design of a Single Family Residence”. 2010, Cairo: Ain Shams University Press.
- you might also want to check out Lamberto Tronchin and Kristian Fabbri, “Energy performance building evaluation in Mediterranean countries: Comparison between software simulations and operating rating simulation”. 2007. University of Bologna. (you find it here).
Keep us posted on your progresses and see you soon.
