1000 Bradley Revit Families + 90 Years of Global Project Installations

View Liberty Island | Bradley Verge and Other Bradley Product InstallationsAs 2012 begins, we are reminded that the 1000 Revit Families in the Bradley Revit Family Library are defined by 90 years of global Bradley product installations. Here’s a sample listing of prominent design destinations with Bradley product installations.

Bradley 90th Anniversary 1921-2011 | View Bradley Corporporation Product PagesHere’s a sample project listing of prominent Bradley product installations.

Liberty Island

Home of the Statue of Liberty, the iconic piece of land poking out of the Upper New York Bay is visited by thousands of people every day. In a recent remodeling of several restrooms, Bradley’s Verge™ Lavatory Systems were chosen because their attractive design and durability features accommodate large groups of people.

National Air and Space Museum, Washington DC

One of the Smithsonian’s 19 museums, the National Air and Space Museum showcases 23 galleries exhibiting hundreds of aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, rockets, and other flight-related artifacts. The sleek and modern look of Bradley’s Verge Lavatory System – two lavatories are featured in each the men’s and women’s restrooms – complements the high-tech style of this national landmark.

The Field Museum is an educational institution concerned with the diversity and relationships in nature and among cultures. In 2011, the museum’s restrooms were voted America’s best restrooms. The restrooms feature Express SS Lavatory Systems, which provide reliability and durability to the museums 3,500 daily vistitors.

O’Hare International Airport

Voted “Best Airport in North America” for 10 years running, O’Hare International Airport is the third busiest airport in the world. O’Hare’s restrooms feature Frequency® Lavatory Systems to provide accessible hand washing to the over 66 million passengers that traveled through its gates in 2010.

COBie Parameters Coming With Bradley Revit Family Library 2012 Updates

COBie Data Structure for Commissioning and Facility ManagementWe will be updating the Bradley Revit 2009 Family Library to Version, Revit 2011 in 2012.

The Revit family parameters within Bradley’s 1000+ Revit Families will be updated and revised to include COBie parameters in 2012.

Briefly,

  • Several static family parameters will become Revit shared parameters for improved scheduling, tagging and tracking.
  • OmniClass family parameter values will be “hardwired” to the OmniClass Taxonomy.txt file.
  • Keynote & Master Format static parameters will become “hardwired” and dynamic.
  • COBie parameters will be added throughout 2012

Throughout 2011, Bradley has communicated with several COBie experts and organizations that are defining COBie as part of the building commissioning and owner deliverable handover process. (USACE, GSA, NBIMS, NIBS)

The COBie (Construction Operations Building Information Exchange) specification identifies the content of the information that must be captured and exchanged at each phase of the project to begin to reduce the waste associated with the current paper process.

Create a standard(COBie) that can be specified in the contract

Stakeholder Roles for Adding COBie Data

The designer is required to provide the space layout, system list, types of equipment, and the location of named equipment.

The builder adds equipment make, model and serial number and provides manufacturer literature, warranty and replacement parts information.

The commissioning agent provides the job plan data with associated tools, training and equipment requirements.
