8 questions · pass mark 70%. Answer all, then see your score and a quick why for each.

  1. 01What distinguishes BIM from a 3D model of a facade?

  2. 02On the LOD scale, which level is the contractor's fabrication-ready facade model with the real profile, gasket and bracket?

  3. 03What is the single most valuable thing a federated BIM model does for a facade?

  4. 04In parametric design (e.g. Grasshopper/Dynamo), what does it mean that the facade is 'associative'?

  5. 05What is the difference between panelisation and rationalisation of a complex facade surface?

  6. 06Why is a single-point daylight factor a poor metric for facade daylight in the Indian climate, compared with climate-based daylight modelling (Radiance)?

  7. 07What is the non-negotiable rule that governs every facade performance simulation (energy, daylight, CFD, THERM, FEA)?

  8. 08Why does a facade's data matter MOST after handover, and what is a digital twin?
