“…Although the approach for modelling the sensors and exporting the BIM models between authoring tools was described, the paper does not report how the data have been used. In the second case, data collected by temperature sensors in concrete elements were included in BIM models and also visualised using charts (Chen et al, 2014). In this case, the reported solution succeeds in integrating the monitoring data into a BIM software environment, but the data are still presented in a traditional manner and do not take advantage of the BIM model itself.…”

In addition to the traditional benefits associated with the installation of structural health monitoring systems, reductions in construction, operational and maintenance costs, and improved performance and quality can be achieved by effectively using the acquired data. However, considered in isolation, the raw data are of little use and value. They must be processed and put into a geometric context within the infrastructure asset, which facilitates the interpretation and analysis of the data. This supports informed decision making, which in turn leads to effective actions. This study outlines a new approach that enables the modelling of structural performance monitoring systems in a Building Information Modelling (BIM) environment and hence permits sensor data to be visualised directly on BIM models. The paper addresses aspects related to: (a) interoperability and standard data models; (b) management and visualisation of monitoring data; and (c) data interpretation and analysis. A prestressed concrete bridge, with a comprehensive built-in structural performance monitoring system, has been used as a case study. The case study demonstrates that by including and visualising monitoring data directly on BIM models the acquired data gain geometrical context within the built asset, which facilitates better interpretation, analysis and all the data-sharing benefits associated with the BIM approach.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is an object-oriented approach that can virtually create a 3D digital model of a building capable of doing realistic engineering analysis well before the construction begins. BIM offers sophisticated tools for electrical trade design and estimation. This paper primarily investigates with supportive case studies, the potential applications of BIM in electrical system design and analysis. Further, its energy analysis, geographical scale significance and smart built environmental applications are also investigated. This research emphasizes on the deployment of BIM at both static and dynamic level for electrical trade such that BIM electrical system design can be made more attractive and more cost effective. The preliminary investigations indicate that seamless integration of semantic information system of BIM with Geographical Information System (GIS) can be very useful for electrical grid optimization and city energy modelling.

-The increasing complexity of buildings has brought some difficulties for emergency response. When fires occur in a building, limited perception regarding the disaster area and occupants can increase the probability of injuries and damages. Thus, the availability of comprehensive and timely information may help understand the existing conditions and plan an efficient evacuation. For this purpose, Building Information Modeling (BIM) should be integrated with three sets of information: (1) occupancy that defines the type of space usage; (2) occupants' information; and (3) sensory data. The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), as a standard of BIM, has the definitions for all areas, volumes, and elements of a building. IFC also has the basic definitions of sensor and occupant entities. However, these entities do not provide enough dynamic and accurate information for supporting emergency management systems. This paper aims to extend IFC for fire emergency real-time management using sensors and occupants' information. The specific objectives of this paper are: (1) extending IfcSensor entity for occupant's sensors; (2) adding new attributes to IfcOccupant to support emergency response operations and defining a new entity for occupancy; and (3) defining the relationships between sensors, occupants, occupancy, time series, and building components in the context of building evacuation. The feasibility of the proposed method is discussed using a case study.
