UNIQUE WINDOW SERVICES
http://uniquewindowservices.com/bim/
Unique Window Services is a Queensland based company that has made supplying and installing window control equipment our specialty for over 20 years. Our range of products promotes passive ventilation which dramatically reduces cooling costs and a building’s carbon footprint. As well as safety options which include smoke ventilation and stair pressurisation systems. In climates with hot and humid days plus cool refreshing nights, a building should incorporate a temperature sensor to purge the cooler air in at certain times throughout the night. This constantly maintains thermal comfort and can avoid the need for mechanical cooling significantly.
Our window automation products can be easily integrated into projects through the use of the ARCHICAD system.

OPEN BIM is a universal approach to the collaborative design, realisation, and operation of buildings based on open standards and workflows. OPEN BIM is an initiative of several leading software vendors using the open buildingSMART Data Model.
OPEN BIM PROGRAM
The OPEN BIM Program is a marketing campaign initiated by GRAPHISOFT®, Tekla® and others to encourage and facilitate the globally coordinated promotion of the OPEN BIM concept throughout the AEC industry, with aligned communication and common branding available to program participants.
OPEN BIM Certification is a technical certification system to help AEC software vendors improve, test and certify their data connections to work seamlessly with other OPEN BIM solutions.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?OPEN BIM supports a transparent, open workflow, allowing project members to participate regardless of the software tools they use.
OPEN BIM creates a common language for widely referenced processes, allowing industry and government to procure projects with transparent commercial engagement, comparable service evaluation and assured data quality.
OPEN BIM provides enduring project data for use throughout the asset life–cycle, avoiding multiple input of the same data and consequential errors.
Small and large (platform) software vendors can participate and compete on system independent, ‘best of breed’ solutions.
OPEN BIM energizes the online product supply side with more exact user demand searches and delivers the product data directly into the BIM.
MEP SOLUTIONSThanks to recent technological developments, professionals in building design and development increasingly rely on integrated architectural and engineering workflows. Using the IFC standard as a common language, architects and HVAC engineers can share and coordinate their projects, using the work of other disciplines as a reference.
STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONSIncreasingly, new developments in ARCHICAD emphasize effective collaboration between architects and structural engineers. This collaboration requires reliable methods for sharing and storing building model information, design solutions and proposals; it also requires a way to manage all the changes made to the building model by any of the participants, while also minimizing the possibility for human error.
ARCHICAD supports all major model and data exchange formats and some specialized formats, including intelligent 3D modeling, universal 2D drawing, documentation and image formats.
