1 Defining the Baseline for BIM Loads Comparison

Steve Bruning, P.E., Newcomb & Boyd

ASHRAE Headquarters, which is used as the common example, is described and common data assumptions are explained. RTS peak load calculation results included in the Handbook of Fundamentals are described and are used as the baseline in comparing various BIM calculation results.
