“…2.1 Parametric modelling using point cloud data An existing building may not have a 3D as-designed model or indeed any model at all. In such cases, 2D drawings and paper-based or digital documents are the only available information sources for generating BIM models (Sadeghineko et al, 2019(Sadeghineko et al, , 2018. PCD, as the output of the 3D laser scanning technology, is widely used within the AEC domain for generating building models by using existing BIM applications to implement the process of converting PCD into 3 D building models, which is mainly carried out manually.…”

“…In the construction industry, the BIM process has been adopted for various purposes, such as Asset/Facilities Management (AM/FM), renovation, and heritage restoration and preservation (Volk et al, 2014;Barazzetti, 2016). The use of the BIM process is beneficial for improving different aspects of a building's life-cycle, such as the decision-making process and the precision of the design during the planning stage, quality of the product, management and exchange of information, energy efficiency, sustainability, and health and safety (Götz, Karlsson, & Yitmen, 2020;Hayne, Kumar, & Hare, 2014;Sadeghineko, Kumar, & Chan, 2018;Sheikhkhoshkar, Pour Rahimian, Kaveh, Hosseini, & Edwards, 2019). In terms of digitising the information involved in a building's life-cycle, BIM models are considered essential s e l f -a r c h i v i n g v e r s i o n parts of a BIM process.…”

Purpose Facilitating the information exchange and interoperability between stakeholders during the life-cycle of an asset can be one of the fundamental necessities for developing an enhanced information exchange framework. Such a framework can also improve the successful accomplishment of building projects. This paper aims to use Semantic Web technologies for facilitating information exchange within existing building projects. Design/methodology/approach In real-world building projects, the construction industry’s information supply chain may initiate from near scratch when new building projects are started resulting in diverse data structures represented in unstructured data sources, like Excel spreadsheets and documents. Large-scale data generated throughout a building's life-cycle requires exchanging and processing during an asset's Operation and Maintenance (O&M) phase. Building information modelling (BIM) processes and related technologies can address some of the challenges and limitations of information exchange and interoperability within new building projects. However, the use of BIM in existing and retrofit assets has been hampered by the challenges surrounding the limitations of existing technologies. Findings The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it briefly outlines the framework previously developed for generating semantically enriched 3D retrofit models. Secondly, a framework is proposed focussing on facilitating the information exchange and interoperability for existing buildings. Semantic Web technologies and standards, such as Web Ontology Language and existing AEC domain ontologies are used to enhance and improve the proposed framework. Originality/value The proposed framework is evaluated by implementing an example application and the Resource Description Framework data produced by the previously developed framework. The proposed approach makes a valuable contribution to the asset/facilities management (AM/FM) domain. It should be of interest to various FM practices for existing assets, such as the building information/knowledge management for design, construction and O&M stages of an asset’s life-cycle.

The investigation of cultural heritage is a continuous process, in which a large scale of metadata is gradually accumulated, i.e., condition data, intervention data, and the comprehension of building techniques. We take the roof tile of Yangxindian Palace as an example. The total number of roof tiles is 17,154. Their positions are various, as they are equally distributed on double-curved irregular surfaces. Their metadata are multisource and heterogeneous. Therefore, the integration between the model and the data can be complex. This paper aims to generate the M1 (metalevel) model with its graph database based on the M3 (metalevel) model through algorithm modeling. This synergy approach consists of three parts. First is the data collection. The unique identifier is used as the index while investigating onsite, which eventually forms the metadata repository. Second is the algorithm modeling. All the roof tiles are rebuilt in Grasshopper with identifiers. Their metadata are merged through Cypher syntax, which can generate the graph database in Neo4j. Third is the delivery. The IFC model and knowledge graph are connected in real time during the whole process. The significance of this paper is to provide a synergy approach and discuss its efficiency for the integration between a model and data of very large quantities. The results show that it is efficient to express the semantic relationships of both conditions and interventions. It is practicable to lightweight the IFC model and to associate metadata into the graph database, enabling online browsing and querying.

“…This issue is mainly due to the complexity of data interactions and uncertainties in data accuracy, resulting in serious problems in the calibration process. 5,[14][15][16][17][18] However, in good interoperability cases, the BIM can substantially simplify project management and alleviate disruption during the retrofitting projects. 19,20 Besides, simulation is characterized as a supportive tool for decision-making in the BIM-based design process.…”

With the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution and extensive promotion of information communication tools, it is on the construction industry to reconsider the current linear design approach and adopt more integrated design approaches that encompass dynamic thermal simulation. Building information modeling (BIM), without a doubt, is a technology, which proposes an integrated practice for building design. Design team using BIM cooperatively work on each activity loop during the design procedure and present a three-dimensional (3D) design model with all data from various disciplines attached at the final stage. The inclusion of a data-rich 3D shape into the design procedure marks the dynamic thermal simulation as a simple, accessible, and, more importantly, decisive stage. This article aims to draw the role of BIM in facilitating the inclusion of dynamic thermal simulation in building design procedures. BIM in this article is introduced as an effective remedy for dealing with the linear nature of conventional building design that is the major impediment to the inclusion of dynamic thermal simulations in the design efforts. This article goes through the conventional method's deficiencies and challenges with the BIM-based method to portray each approach's advantages and disadvantages. Renowned BIM software, interoperable simulation tools, and their distinguishing characteristics are introduced in summary to give a better insight into the application of BIM for dynamic thermal simulation purposes. Additionally, a literature survey on applying the introduced tools is
