GSA BIM Guide Series 05 www.gsa.gov/bim U.S. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service March 2012 This version of the “GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 05 – Energy Performance is identified as Version 2.0. With its publication, a GSA BIM Guide pertaining to energy performance becomes available publicly for review and comment. It will continue to serve as the basis for further development, pilot validation, and professional editing. All readers of this provisional guide are encouraged to submit feedback to the National 3D-4D-BIM Program. Updated versions will continue to be issued to address and incorporate on-going feedback in an open and collaborative process. Currently, the following Series: GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 01 – 3D-4D-BIM Overview GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 02 – Spatial Program Validation GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 03 – 3D Imaging GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 04 – 4D Phasing GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 05 – Energy Performance and Operations GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 06 – Circulation and Security Validation GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 07 – Building Elements GSA Building Information Modeling Guide Series 08 – Facility Management are available for download, review, and comment.
