ONUMA Inc is starting an online brainstorm - or BIMStorm - focused on Healthcare + Education this coming Monday, October 31, 2011. Happy Halloween. You might want to tell staff and strategic partners about this free exposure to award winning use of software and processes used by the Department of Homeland Security, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Coast Guard, General Services Administration, California Community Colleges, other government entities and private companies. Attached is a PDF explaining how Kaiser Permanente and California Community Colleges are involved in the BIMStorm. Below is a direct link to the free registration. https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/732071825 I am available by phone or email to anyone interested in learning more about these proven processes that produce dramatic reductions in costs and schedule while ensuring improved quality.

2. BIMStorms® are award winning building industry events and open to anyone
who wants to participate, learn and collaborate. BIMStorm wraps up the year in
BIM by highlighting new industry processes at Ecobuild in Washington DC and
virtually online. This year’s BIMStorm theme is healthcare and education. We are
pleased to have two owners submitting projects to the BIMStorm.
The Owners
Kaiser Permanente is one of the largest healthcare organizations in the world
with 8.7 million members, 167,300 employees, 14,600 physicians, 35 medical
centers and 431 medical offices. Kaiser Permanente will be submitting two
projects into the BIMStorm.
The California Community College System (CCC) serves 2.75 million
students at 112 California locations and is the largest system of public higher
education in the world. They will be submitting two projects into the BIMStorm.
How to Participate
Owners submit their projects to the BIMStorm for no cost, supported by
sponsors. BIMStorm teams are invited to participate by reviewing the projects
from the owners, identifying an area of interest and then participating in the
various exercises in the BIMStorm. A team can be a single person, or a group of
participating individuals or companies. The definition of participation in the
BIMStorm is intentionally loose. One may jump in on a specific aspect of the
process or be involved at many levels. Some prepare by attending webinars.
Webinars begin in October and conclude on December 7th and 8th. Join the
webinars: http://BIMStorm.com/WAS
Why?
Owners are seeking teams to lead them into the future. The industry and
technology are advancing faster than most owners can keep up with. Be an
industry leader by learning from BIMStorm and demonstrate your capabilities to
owners. BIMStorms are not a competition but a recognition of teams and
individuals that change the industry. Previous BIMStorms have resulted in
exposure in industry publications and real world projects.
Where to Start
Free to Participate - Supported by Sponsors

BIMStorm® for Healthcare
Kaiser Permanente along with the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the
Department of Defense Healthcare System, is a member of the BIM Healthcare
Consortium (BHC). The BHC along with many other owners in the building industry are
working to define how BIM can support the full life cycle of facilities. The BIMStorm
Healthcare runs from October 2011 - January 2012, and will be the focal point at the
BIMStorm Theater at the Ecobuild conference on December 7 - 8, 2011. Kaiser
Permanente is submitting two project types. Teams are encouraged to select one or
more project or a specific part of a project to participate on.
Project #1
BIM to the Life Cycle
This is for a project that is under construction. The project is currently using BIM. The
BIM and associated project data will be shared with participants who can use this data
to enhance the workflow to support project data moving to the lifecycle using
standards such as COBie. Teams may also use the BIM to focus on specific workflows
such as:
• Creating target performance goals for energy use and sustainability
• Tracking performance, live sensors connected to BIM
This is a unique opportunity to use the BIM from a project that is ongoing from Kaiser
Permanente as a starting point for other studies.
Project #2
Program Requirements to Design
This is a project that is being planned. Teams will be provided with program
requirements and site to design the project using BIM. Tracking client requirements on
the project and validating the results in various stages of the project will be part of this
project.

COMMUNITY COLLEGES
BIMStorm® for Education
The California Community Colleges (CCC) serves 2.75 million students at 112
California locations and is the largest system of public higher education in the world.
The CCC FUSION System (Facilities Utilization, Space Inventory Options Net) with the
entire California inventory of 71 million square feet of buildings and spaces, along with
the CCC Geographic Information System (GIS) Collaborative of campuses and
buildings is now available in BIM at varying levels of detail. The BIMStorm for Eduction
will focus on projects within the CCC system using the data from the FUSION+GIS
+ONUMA System. The BIMStorm Education runs from October 2011 - January 2012,
and will be the focal point at the BIMStorm Theater at the Ecobuild conference on
December 7 - 8, 2011. Goals will include: how to more efficiently manage valuable
resources statewide, how to connect BIM to energy use, prediction and management
of facilities.
Project #1
Planning to Life Cycle
Owners do not have a beginning and an end to managing facilities. It is an ongoing
process. Planning happens that then needs to be implemented and managed for the
life-cycle and the plan needs to be constantly adjusted for changing needs. How can
BIM support the full life cycle? This project will focus on an entire campus master plan.
Project #2
Program Requirements to Design
Teams will be provided with program requirements and site to design the project using
BIM. Tracking client requirements on the project and validating the results in various
stages of the project will be part of this project.
A building from the Los Angeles Community College will be included that is under
construction right now as a case study of how to take BIM into Facility Management
using COBie.
