How can the building information model (BIM) be used for emergency preparedness?
It provides first responders with the names of all building occupants.
It is not useful for emergency preparedness.
It creates a virtual environment of the building for emergency personnel.
It can help predict how an emergency will unfold.
BIM creates a virtual environment (C) that can be used by emergency personnel to analyze escape routes, fire hazards, and security vulnerabilities.
BIM aids in emergency planning by offering real-time access to building layouts, exits, fire suppression systems, and structural integrity.
Why not other options?
(A) BIM does not track individual occupants in real-time.
(B) BIM is highly relevant for emergency preparedness, especially in risk analysis and planning.
(D) While BIM provides data for emergency planning, it does not predict the exact course of an emergency.
