Survey for BIMplement project

The overall aim of BIMplement is to achieve an improved quality for nZEB construction and renovation

Composed of 43 Member Organisations, the Architects' Council of Europe is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to Promote Architecture in Europe, Advance Architectural Quality in the Built Environment, Support Sustainable Development of the Built Environment and Act as the Single Voice for Architects in Europe.

ACE is involved in the EU funded BIMplement project  http://www.bimplement-project.eu/.
The overall aim of BIMplement is to achieve an improved quality for nZEB construction and renovation, specifically on ventilation and air tightness. This is done by setting-up a Continuous Professional Development and BIM-enhanced qualification schemes on BIM related skills and competences for the entire value chain in the building sector.

In order to provide further input  from the architects’ point of view, a survey should be run amongst ACE member organisations in the country of focus of the project (France, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland and Spain). The aim of the questionnaire is to learn more about how architects use BIM in their daily work life, in relation to quality control of nZEB renovations, and in particular on the specific topics air tightness and ventilation. 
 
The questionnaire is composed of 13 questions and can easily be completed in 15 minutes. Deadline for submission: 15 January. 
1.Select your country 
2.How would you rate the BIM maturity in your country on a scale from 1-5 (1 – BIM is not used at all in my country, 5 – BIM is used in every construction project)
3.  What are the benefits for you, as an architect, to use BIM in your daily activities?
4.What are the barriers that you encounter regarding the use of BIM?Could some of them be solved by improving your skills and competences?
5.Regarding training needs of architects and expectation of other trades. Please list, in order of priority, three areas of skills that hinder effective design and well-performing built result of nZEBs. Could you provide justification (eg. specific cases) of your answers?
6.What are the most common BIM uses in your daily work?
7.Does BIM facilitate the work on a more complex nZEB renovation of a residential building?
8.Ventilation and air tightness are key for nZEB buildings.
9.Do you think that a methodology involving pro-active instruction to blue collars and some self-check activities by blue collars will improve the final quality of buildings? Could BIM facilitate these activities?
10.With the two examples of air tightness and ventilation in mind:
The following 4 questions relate to BIM training 
11.Which training programs on BIM for quality control do you know in your country? (main players, training programmes, funding, etc.)
12.Are there any relevant training programs available at local/national level that provide training and up-skilling for architects dealing with the topics of BIM, air-tightness, ventilation, nZEB?
13.Could you please describe the training module? (E.g. number of hours, Knowledge/ skills acquired, responsibility and autonomy competences, Learning outcomes, teaching material, Evaluation. You can also send us the material via email to info@ace-cae.eu or include a download link here.)
14.Do you know of any useful design guidelines, checklists, e-learning material (videos), pedagogical documents available at local/national level that provide knowledge for up-skilling architects in the topic of BIM, air-tightness, ventilation, nZEB? (If Yes please insert direct links or references to this material).
Thank you for taking part at the survey!
