3D Visualization has revolutionized the way buildings and spaces are designed, constructed, operated and maintained. Evaluating how and where to employ it efficiently and successfully is an emerging in-demand skill set. The 3D Visualization for the Built Environment microcredential will provide you with skills development in Building Information Modeling (BIM), 3D Rendering Tools, GIS, Digital Twins and Virtual Reality/3D Printing applications for design, presentation, construction and ongoing operations and maintenance of buildings and spaces.
The skills developed in this microcredential will enable learners to work with 2D and 3D modeling software, create effective visualizations and to assess impacts of different designs. Modelling can be used as a means of assessing the ability to achieve climate mitigation efforts through a thorough assessment of building design, materials and systems with the goal of constructing and operating in as sustainable a manner as possible.
