Summary Draft 1: 3D Modelling


In the article “3D building models help bring sustainability into construction”, Jenkins (2015) claims that Building information modelling (BIM) has adverse possibilities in replacing traditional 2D drawings. BIM creates a 3D model of the actual building and runs computer stimulation that is capable of countering imminent errors and calculations before the construction of building. However, BIM is still not globally used due to the preference of traditional approaches of building construction over the use of advance technology.

Self-introduction.

Dear Professor Blackstone, My name is Cai Junhe. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in green building and sustainability. During my tertiary education, I designed an energy efficient building model which further interests me to pursue a degree in sustainable infrastructure engineering (building services) in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). It was not a tough decision choosing a suitable course as it has always been my passion to promote an eco-friendly environment in Singapore.In the future, I would like to continue in this industry as an energy consultant. Hopefully, I am able to contribute to the efforts in making Singapore a more green and sustainable environment for our next generation. Presentation and initiating a conversation have always been a challenge as I feel uncomfortable initiating a conversation with a stranger and speaking in front a crowd. During a presentation, I tend to shiver and stutter on my words which results to the difficulty in del
