Standards Iowa

“American Gothic” 1930 Grant Wood

As we explain in our ABOUT, we are continuing the development of the cadre of “code writers and vote-getters” begun at the University of Michigan in 1993.  We are now drilling down into state and local adaptations of nationally developed codes and standards that are incorporated by reference into public safety and sustainability legislation.

Standards Michigan remains the “free” home site but state-specific sites such as Standards Iowa  will be accessible to subscribers.   Please send bella@standardsmichigan.com a request to join one of our mailing lists appropriate to your interest.

Abstract:  This paper is part of an investigation related to the implementation of BIM (Building Information Modelling) in the undergraduate levels of Architecture and Building Engineering studies. Since the knowledge and use of these technologies is required (and sometimes mandatory) at a professional level, the objective of the research is to confirm that the use of students of the described grades. This research conducts a study of the current status of BIM implementation in Spanish universities and an initial review of the scientific interest of these processes from publications that relate the concepts of such research: educational improvement, BIM implementation, and the framework of construction sector. The results demonstrate the need to continue with the study for an improvement in the implementation process and for a better acquisition of the skills that students will need in their professional incorporation, both in a scientific framework of constant assessment of processes.

The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization bringing together representatives of government, the professions, industry, labor and consumer interests to focus on the identification and resolution of problems and potential problems that hamper the construction of safe, affordable structures for housing, commerce and industry throughout the United States.  The National Institute of Building Sciences was authorized by the U.S. Congress in the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, Public Law 93-383.

As the largest non-residential building construction market in the United States — and one that is largely financed with public money —  the education industry is a major stakeholder in NIBS leading practice discovery and promulgation.  Best practice in education facility construction is informed by best practices in other federal agencies with significant construction spend

We track development and commenting opportunities on NIBS consensus products linked below:

It is remarkable how much standards action happens in the drearier (boilerplate) — General Conditions — part of a construction contract.  Admittedly, you must have an interest in the fine points of the building construction disciplines.

As of today’s posting we do not find any NIBS titles released for public consultation in the Federal Register.  We do, however, keep NIBS products on our periodic Ædificare c0lloquium; open to everyone.   See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
