New HVAC Design Concept for Rodent Rooms at UF - a Multifunctional, Cost-saving Model
The University of Florida has an innovative new rodent holding room concept that increases net holding space, reduces energy use, and improves the maintainability of equipment - and meets NIH facility grant design requirements with less capital. Here, session leaders detail features of this new solution based on a flexible HVAC controls strategy that increases space utilization, control system sequencing that lowers energy use, and the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) for holding rooms and planning for the future maintainability of equipment. They compare energy, space, cost, and commissioning results to previous UF vivarium projects.

BIM Status Check:
Where Is It Now? Where Is It Going? How Will It Impact Future Healthcare Projects?
AEI is a developmental advisor working with AutoDesk to refine and reconcile its industry-standard BIM platforms, ABS and Revit. Recently designing the 1.3 million-square-foot, 24-story Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, AEI had occasion to put these three-dimensional, integrated design tools to a demanding test. AEI had to devise hybrid solutions to effect functional coordination and achieve BIM delivery goals, compensating for ABS capacity shortcomings and customizing programs to better synch document transfer. This presentation provides a full present view and elaborates on the questions remaining to be answered concerning BIM.
