“…Recent publications have defined BIM-based workflows to compute and compare KPIs in order to make a qualitative assessment of the building and its parts [75] and to automate the monitoring of buildings during their regular operation [76]. In both cases the digital model becomes the mirror of the building and stores its actual performances to support facility managers in making decisions.…”

Current facility management practice relies on different systems which require new technologies to integrate and manage information more easily. Building information modeling offers a good opportunity to improve facility information management by providing a unified platform for various data sources rather than an intuitive information interface. Although current research trends reveal that there is a continuously growing interest in facility management aided by building information modeling, an integrated model is still hard to obtain. This paper aims at developing a novel methodology based on building information modeling and facility management systems integration, underpinned by a performance information model. The implementation process of a performance information model is described, including information technologies involved, the data and process requirements, and the building performance assessment methods used. A first pilot case-study has been conducted with regards to surgery rooms in healthcare buildings. The proposal can support condition-based maintenance work schedule, as well as the achievement of organizational, environmental, and technical requirements. Among the practical implications found: Improved technological and environmental performances assessment; better visualization of building condition; improved decision-making process; facilitated maintenance tasks planning and maintenance records management.

“…The procedures for defining requirements and for delivery of asset information using BIM for the purpose of asset and system operation and maintenance are proscribed by ISO 19650 (ISO/DIS 19650, 2018). In this context, most of the self-declared implementations of digital twins are limited to exploiting BIM as information stores and for visualizing information (Teicholz, 2013;Bonci et al, 2019). The UK definition of a "National Digital Twin" (NDT)-an interconnected ecosystem of digital twins, each modeling a component, a system, or a system of systems of buildings and infrastructure, connected via securely shared data-reflects the view of the nature of digital twins in the built environment (Enzer et al, 2019).…”

The concept of a “digital twin” as a model for data-driven management and control of physical systems has emerged over the past decade in the domains of manufacturing, production, and operations. In the context of buildings and civil infrastructure, the notion of a digital twin remains ill-defined, with little or no consensus among researchers and practitioners of the ways in which digital twin processes and data-centric technologies can support design and construction. This paper builds on existing concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM), lean project production systems, automated data acquisition from construction sites and supply chains, and artificial intelligence to formulate a mode of construction that applies digital twin information systems to achieve closed loop control systems. It contributes a set of four core information and control concepts for digital twin construction (DTC), which define the dimensions of the conceptual space for the information used in DTC workflows. Working from the core concepts, we propose a DTC information system workflow—including information stores, information processing functions, and monitoring technologies—according to three concentric control workflow cycles. DTC should be viewed as a comprehensive mode of construction that prioritizes closing the control loops rather than an extension of BIM tools integrated with sensing and monitoring technologies.

“…Chen et al designed the framework into five modules, including project documents, personnel and contacts, FM planning and execution, technical performance evaluation, and safety and emergency management [44]. In addition, the potential and application of BIM in FM and maintenance are also studied [36,45,55]. From the perspective of equipment managers, evaluate and summarize the current BIM-O&M research and application progress, analyze research trends, and find research gaps and promising research directions in the future [45].…”

Blockchain and Building Information Management (BIM) for Sustainable Building Development within the Context of Smart Cities

‘Smart cities’ are a new type of city where stakeholders are jointly responsible for urban management. City Information Management (CIM) is an output tool for smart city planning and management, which assists in achieving the sustainable development of urban infrastructure, and promotes smart cities to achieve the goals of stable global economic development, sustainable environmental development, and improvement of people’s quality of life. Existing research has so far established that blockchain and BIM have great potential to enhance construction project performance. However, there is little research on how blockchain and BIM can support sustainable building design and construction. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore the potential impact of the integration of blockchain and BIM in a smart city environment on making buildings more sustainable within the context of CIM/Smart Cities. The paper explores the relationships between blockchain, BIM and sustainable building across the life cycle stage of a construction project. This paper queries the Web of Science (WoS) database with keywords to obtain relevant publication, and then uses the VOSviewer to visually analyze the relationships between blockchain, BIM, and sustainable building within the context of smart cities and CIM, which is conducted in bibliometric analysis followed by micro scheme analysis. The results demonstrate the value of this method in gauging the importance of these three topics, highlighting their interrelationships and identifying trends, giving researchers an objective research direction. Those aspects reported in the paper constitute an original contribution.
