Development of Facility Dynamic Prototypes
(Standardized Facility Designs) for the Air Force using e-SPECS
Portland, Maine - July 16, 2009 - The Air Force Center for Engineering
and the Environment (AFCEE) awarded an A/E firm a task order to develop
facility dynamic prototypes for unaccompanied enlisted dormitories.
The task order was to develop electronic prototype designs for enlisted
dormitories for use as design standards and for use by design teams
developing projects for the AF MILCON Program and other non-MILCON
design and construction projects. The work included developing an
electronic design tool to improve efficiency and effectiveness of
the design process across the Air Force.
Among other services included in the task order was the integration
of the Air Force best facility design practices to maximize design
and construction cost effectiveness. This aided in the preparation
of electronic 3-dimensional design models to update the Air Force
design guides to the next level/next generation of "smart"
interactive dynamic prototypes. The 3-dimensional design models were
to also be linked to performance-based specifications. The A/E firm
chose to use e-SPECS for Revit and Autodesk's Revit Architecture and
MEP products with MasterSpec performance-based specifications and
has completed the enlisted dormitory prototypes at the date of this
release.
InterSpec's patented e-SPECS software solutions automate the preparation
of construction specifications and selection of products and materials
that are incorporated into commercial construction projects. InterSpec's
e-SPECS products are used by thousands of architects, engineers and
construction professionals to help them keep their construction drawings
and specifications in sync while reducing the overall cost of development.

About InterSpec
InterSpec provides construction document management solutions and
services built on its patented e-SPECS specification management technology.
e-SPECS software automates the specification process by extracting
the product and material requirements directly from the project's
BIM models and drawings. e-SPECS integrates directly with all Autodesk
Revit-based BIM products as well as with Autodesk's AutoCAD, AutoCAD
Architecture and AutoCAD Systems products and supports all libraries
of MasterSpec and custom office masters. For architects and engineers
who spend many hours on every project preparing construction specifications,
e-SPECS software saves time and money while ensuring that the construction
drawings are coordinated with the specifications. For more information
