Building Information Modeling (BIM) is widely used in new construction but is less commonly applied to renovation activities. Building Information Modeling for Renovation and Refurbishment: A Practical Guide addresses this gap by offering a practical resource centered on well-defined use cases for applying BIM to renovation projects.The authors contributed to the EU Horizon 2020-funded BIM-Speed project, through which they developed over 20 use cases with demonstrative implementations on real-world renovation projects. These use cases were also formalized as standard BuildingSmart International use cases.This book presents a selection of the most important use cases in an accessible format tailored to renovation practitioners. It also outlines requirements for information management and BIM implementation planning to support the seamless integration of these use cases into practice.

This proceedings volume chronicles the papers presented at the 35th CIB W78 2018 Conference: IT in Design, Construction, and Management, held in Chicago, IL, USA, in October 2018. The theme of the conference focused on fostering, encouraging, and promoting research and development in the application of integrated information technology (IT) throughout the life-cycle of the design, construction, and occupancy of buildings and related facilities. The CIB – International Council for Research and Innovation in Building Construction – was established in 1953 as an association whose objectives were to stimulate and facilitate international cooperation and information exchange between governmental research institutes in the building and construction sector, with an emphasis on those institutes engaged in technical fields of research. The conference brought together more than 200 scholars from 40 countries, who presented the innovative concepts and methods featured in this collection of papers.
