LOD step contents.

LODModeling level of the BIM model by LOD

LOD 100Mass at the level of planning work
Shape, volume, and type of the building
Determination of the area, height, volume, position, incense, etc., of the entire building
LOD 200Planning step that concept is embodied
Shape, space program, space planning, and spatial relationship definition
Decision of general architecture general system
Planning of approximate floor area, coverage ratio, and floor area ratio, number of floors, floor height, main structure, envelope structure, and equipment system
LOD 300LOD 200 steps to determine the outline of the concrete contents
Determination of building systems, including detailed installation elements
Modeling of all architectural elements
LOD 400Modeling steps for actual construction
Model the size, shape, quantity, etc., of all determined systems
Model all the elements related to construction, fabrication, and assembly, including details, members, structures, equipment, piping, and wiring
LOD 500The LOD 500 model is the same as the completion model (the modeling data are the same as the actual building)
Maintenance and overall operation of the building
