    BIM (Business Information Modeling) in building services engineering

    Jens Pfafferott studied energy and process engineering at the TU Berlin and earned his doctorate at KIT Karlsruhe in the Faculty of Architecture. Since 2011, he has represented building services engineering at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences. In his lecture, he deals with the use of BIM in building services engineering, which is increasingly being used not only in architecture but also in the planning of building services systems: The digital twin of the building and its systems engineering offers the possibility to support the commissioning of buildings with digital methods. The acceptance or handover does require a manual error search and correction. With BIM, however, commissioning can be accompanied all the way to optimization.
