“…At the same time, it appears that a lack of BIM expertise among the FM team and the owners [8,13,23,33,41,42] and the information exchange processes [8,13,23,31,32,37,38] are major challenges.…”

“…To connect BIM data to FM systems, FM teams can face the interoperability issue in several manners [37]. As different companies are involved either in the design or in the operational phase, common data exchange formats can be considered an effective strategy for exchanging data between BIM models and FM systems.…”

“…Facility management has to support a wide range of activities (commonly referred to as non-core business) which enhance the work environment and well-being of people; enable the organization to deliver effective and responsive services; make the physical assets highly cost-effective, allowing also future changes; enhance the organization's image and culture [2] (pp. [36][37].…”

“…According to the Table 1, BIM is mostly appreciated for gathering (i.e., to capture, monitor, qualify), communicating (i.e., to visualize), and analyzing (i.e., to coordinate, validate, forecast) data and information. In few cases [28,29] the BIM model is integrated with a benchmarking system to report current performances, while it commonly contains maintenance activities records [13,30,31], asset characteristics and specification [13,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], and space management information [29,34,36].…”

A Methodology for a Performance Information Model to Support Facility Management

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.

“…But, since the use of BIM in FM processes in many cases happens with no past records of BIM, many researchers prefer using a customized data structure for integrating BIM in FM processes [33]. Meanwhile, review of different related research efforts indicated that a wide range of tools were used for linking BIM and FM computer software (or CMMS) while the use of spreadsheets and third-party middleware (e.g., EcoDomus, Onuma Systems, and FM Interact) were two main approaches adopted [21]. IT and engineering background weakness of the current FM crews in the public hospitals and budgetary limitations of public hospitals were the main constraints considered for the recommended architecture.…”

Improving management of complex and congested facilities in hospital buildings is a potential point for both reducing money spent and enhancing quality level of the medical services provided in public hospitals of Iran. Although building information modeling (BIM) is identified as an effective tool for improving facility management (FM), use of advantages it offers to the FM processes of hospitals has been neglected thus far in the country. To address this issue, this research aims to investigate the BIM capabilities and the supporting organizational structure public hospitals in Iran can adopt to improve their FM processes. A comprehensive literature review was conducted on applicable capabilities of BIM to the FM processes. Hierarchical FM structure of public hospitals in the country was recognized through review of the related regulations. A public hospital case was chosen for an in-depth recognition of FM processes operations and validation of the proposed BIM-based improvements. It was argued the use of BIM capabilities can cause substantial improvements in the FM processes of the public hospitals. Reduced duration of FM activities, improved facility layouts, enhanced communication and coordination, facilitated training, and improved emergency management are some expected outcomes. Hospitals are complex organizations with various stakeholders, facilities and materials closely linked and working together to accomplish their vital missions, i.e., curing patients in need and improving public health. The complex combination of people with different organizational roles and various types of materials and facilities working together in a variety of sensitive medical procedures makes operating costs of hospitals among the highest in the public service organizations [1] [2]. As World Health Organization [3] reports, government expenditure on health exceeds 14% of total government's expenditure globally. Despite high cost spent on different hospital operations, a single slight flaw in any parts of this complex organization may cause dire consequences and create significant dissatisfaction. Efforts on improving different parts of hospital management resulting in quality enhancement and cost reduction are valuable to the society. Meanwhile, a variety of medical and non-medical equipment used in hospitals and diversity of utility demanding medical services make hospitals utility systems among the most congested and complex utilities in public buildings [4]. Furthermore, the high pace of advances in medical equipment technologies in recent decade compels hospitals to continually install new medical equipment to maintain their operability and competitiveness in this highly competitive market. Cost consuming modifications to the utility systems become necessary to support new medical equipment. Poor hospital facility management (FM), though, can add to the costs of these modifications. Prolonged activities, frequent disruption to regular hospital operations and short or excessive supply of utility services are some example...
