“…Green Building XML (gbXML) was adopted as intermediate data format between GIS and BIM by Niu, et al [90]. The useful information in BIM was extracted, simplified, and stored as gbXML file, which was converted to KML and COLLADA after the energy simulation, then presented on the Google Earth.…”

“…Such a system will improve urban planning and building design in terms of energy optimization. Niu, Pan and Zhao [90] improved it by developing a web-based system to visualize and inspect energy consumption at both building and urban level. In addition, Castro-Lacouture, et al [129] presented a conceptual GIS-BIM framework about algae power generation system to improve the energy consumption at the level of urban neighborhood.…”

Abstract:The integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) has been identified as a promising but challenging topic to transform information towards the generation of knowledge and intelligence. Achievement of integrating these two concepts and enabling technologies will have a significant impact on solving problems in the civil, building and infrastructure sectors. However, since GIS and BIM were originally developed for different purposes, numerous challenges are being encountered for the integration. To better understand these two different domains, this paper reviews the development and dissimilarities of GIS and BIM, the existing integration methods, and investigates their potential in various applications. This study shows that the integration methods are developed for various reasons and aim to solve different problems. The parameters influencing the choice can be summarized and named as "EEEF" criteria: effectiveness, extensibility, effort, and flexibility. Compared with other methods, semantic web technologies provide a promising and generalized integration solution. However, the biggest challenges of this method are the large efforts required at early stage and the isolated development of ontologies within one particular domain. The isolation problem also applies to other methods. Therefore, openness is the key of the success of BIM and GIS integration.

“…Integration between Building Information Models (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has been a major problem that practitioners of the field recently face. Many conceptual models designed for visualization purposes (Li & He, 2008;Irizarry, Karan, & Jalaei, 2013;Borrmann et al, 2015;Niu, Pan, & Zhao, 2015). However, semantic models are more needed for different engineering and planning applications to enable complex queries and analysis (Hor, Jadidi, & Sohn, 2016).…”

The paper presents the approach that extends the opportunities of Web environments in BIM model processing and allows implementation of the bigger amount of analysis that is based on the object’s positioning. With the developed relations, the objects in the BIM model can be considered not just like independent 3D objects in the WebGL environment but as objects that are linked between each other and can act by the rules that defined to each type of the objects. Correlated co-ordinates will be useful for the architects, building operators and facility managers who use the BIM model for the management of the building and its components. This method can be used to increase the effectiveness of space management, clash detection, relocation management and space programming as well as existing conditions modelling and lighting analysis can be done in a way that is more efficient due to possibility of implementation of the survey coordinate system that will give the coordinates to each object in the scene.

“…The main issues can be described in the next way: BIM model cannot be processed inside the Web environment in a native way, therefore, models need to be converted; BIM models can not completely produce model of the real objects in the high accuracy; 3D mesh models of the objects created by the photogrammetry cannot be properly processed in the BIM model inside the Web environment. This problem has been described in many scientific articles (Ma & Ren, 2017;Niu, Pan, & Zhao, 2015;Rechichi, Mandelli, Achille, & Fassi, 2016;Liu et al, 2017;Pauwels, Zhang, & Lee, 2017;Zhong, Gan, Luo, & Xing, 2018;Zhu, Wright, J. Wang, & X. Wang, 2018;Wong, Ge, & He, 2018;Zhou, Wang, Guo, & Gao, 2019). The interoperability between different information systems still remain challenging.…”

Web based BIM platforms are powerful tools for the architects and constructors therefore there exists big amount of such projects around the globe. Each of them has own advantages and disadvantages therefore it is important to understand which platform brings more benefits for the users in relation to the BIM model processing and project management. For this purposes Web based BIM systems need to be analysed and compared by their tools and opportunities. This paper is presenting the results of such comparison in condition of WebBIM platform development with the purpose of better understanding of the further development way.
