keep it simple

Aerogel, nicknamed “frozen smoke” is the world's lightest known solid, it weighs only three times that of air. When handled, Aerogel feels like a very light, hard foam. Being chemically similar to glass, it also happens to shatter like glass, yet is incredibly strong structurally, and can support thousands of times its own weight. It is made by extracting water from a silica gel, then replacing it with gas such as carbon dioxide. It can withstand a direct blast of 1kg of dynamite and protect against heat from a blowtorch at more than 1,300C. The result is a substance that is capable of insulating against extreme temperatures and of absorbing pollutants such as crude oil. NASA are already using it to insulate space suits, new versions have been designed to mop up lead and mercury from water and to absorb oil spills.

"BIM covers geometry, spatial relationships, geographic information, quantities and properties of building components (for example manufacturers' details). BIM can be used to demonstrate the entire building of construction and facility operation. Quantities and shared properties of materials can easil. ==

== including the processes BIM is able to achieve such improvements by modeling representations of the actual parts and pieces being used to build a building. This is a substantial shift from the traditional computer aided drafting method of drawing with vector file based lines that combine to represent objects.

The interoperability requirements of construction documents include the drawings, procurement details, environmental conditions, submittal processes and other specifications for building quality. It is anticipated by proponents that BIM can be utilized to bridge the information loss associated with handing a project from design team, to construction team and to building owner/operator, by allowing each group to add to and reference back to all information they acquire during their period of contribution the BIM model. For example, a building owner may find evidence of a leak in his building. Rather than exploring the physical building, he may turn to his BIM and see that a water valve is located in the suspect location. He could also have in the model the specific valve size, manufacturer, part number, and any other information ever researched in the past, pending adequate computing power.

The American Institute of Architects has further defined BIM as "a model-based technology linked with a database of project information"^[1], and this reflects the general reliance on database technology as the foundation. In the future, structured text documents such as specifications may be able to be searched and linked to regional, national, and international standards.
