New View of Building Information Modeling Highlights Sixth Edition of ElectricTV.Net 2008-02-01 | Author: Mark Walston, +1-301-907-7201, markwalston@comcast.net BIM - Building Information Modeling BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The visually dynamic new frontier of Building Information Modeling (BIM) highlights the Sixth Edition of ElectricTV.net, the only online TV program dedicated to news and information from the electrical construction and information systems industries. ElectricTV.net is a joint production of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).     Included in the new edition is a look at how the fresh technology of BIM is dramatically changing the view of building design, construction and operation. Marise Mikulis, Senior Director at FMI Corporation explains how BIM enables complete, holistic models of buildings to be dynamically displayed. "What this does," says Mikulis, "is present a clearer overall picture of the building and allows stakeholders to make better informed decisions."     Additional segments on this edition of ElectricTV.net include a feature story on how the new "Team Build" approach powered the construction of a Chicago-area data center, and a spotlight on a unique educational partnership between the Fluke Corporation and the National Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee, "training trainers" in the latest thermal imaging and power quality technology. As always, the site offers links to articles of interest. Plus, viewers can subscribe to email alerts announcing the release of new editions. To view the Sixth Edition, visit www.ElectricTV.net.
