project's energy efficiency strategy, requiring daylighting in allperimeter occupied zones, glare mitigation strategies, automatic, continuous dimming, andcommissioning. Advanced controls strategies are also considered. This collaborativeenvironment was realized through coupled daylight and energy simulation, using simulatingrepresentative spaces in the Sensor Placement Optimization Tool (SPOT), a Radiance basedsoftware. Several design variations were considered and an optimum set was settled upon.A light louver system was added to the daylight glazing to bounce the light up the ceiling andeven deeper into the building's interior. Further, light reflectances were chosen for the interiorsurfaces. When coupled with low partition heights, this

were lost in the busy work of figuring out what button to click next in thetutorial sequence.Seeing that the sequence of tutorials and homework was proving to be problematic, the “flip theclassroom” movement offered a potential to improve the instructional design of the lab portion ofthe course. The flip the classroom philosophy has students watch lectures at home and then doactive exercises during class time where faculty expertise can be leveraged to help guide studentsthrough problems or offer reflective critique of their work in progress. This instructional methodcaptured our attention as a means of improving the BIM labs and moving away from the in-classtutorial-based lab sessions. We would flip the labs: have the students do the

context of BIM, it is used to describe a model that has its components displayed sequentially in “screen shots” to reflect the order in which these components will be assembled during the construction process. Such a model can be utilized to study alternative sequences, erection coordination and actual progress. Direct ties to scheduling software can be made, connecting scheduling activities to model components to “drive” the model. 5D: Five-dimensional. The “fifth dimension” generally describes quantity and cost information that is derived from or applied to a BIM model. Current software allows many quantities to be generated directly from a 3D model. Other quantities can be generated

are introduced to relevant zoning regulations andbuilding codes. Following this they determine construction type and appropriate structure for thefacility. The project then moves into design development/ construction drawings during whichstudents create site improvement plans, floor plans and reflected ceiling plans, flooring plans,elevations, sections, details (stairs, elevator and washroom), schedules, code compliancedrawings and a cover sheet. The construction drawings contain appropriate room sizes, corridorand stair widths, door sizes, wall types, structural elements, annotation among otherrequirements. Figure 1 & 2 show examples of student work created in AMS 363. Figure 1: Construction Drawings of floor
