The hand book for architectural design issued by Architectural Institute of Japan is based on the experience of practical work or research achievement and updated toward changing of technology or demand. However, the update is becoming difficult because the most of contents are paper-based and required contents are increasing. Then we propose the digital hand book for architectural design by using Building Information Modeling (BIM) to integrate building dimension and information.
This paper presents one of the example edition for mechanical design focusing on the calculation of office building heat load.
