Building Information Modelling and Internet of Things Integration for Facility Management—Literature Review and Future Needs

Abstract

Digitisation of the built environment is seen as a significant factor for innovation in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation sector. However, lack of data and information in as-built digital models considerably limits the potential of Building Information Modelling in Facility Management. Therefore, optimisation of data collection and management is needed, all the more so now that Industry 4.0 has widened the use of sensors into buildings and infrastructures. A literature review on the two main pillars of digitalisation in construction, Building Information Modelling and Internet of Things, is presented, along with a bibliographic analysis of two citations and abstracts databases focusing on the operations stage. The bibliographic research has been carried out using Web of Science and Scopus databases. The article is aimed at providing a detailed analysis of BIM–IoT integration for Facility Management (FM) process improvements. Issues, opportunities and areas where further research efforts are required are outlined. Finally, four key areas of further research development in FM management have been proposed, focusing on optimising data collection and management.

Virtual Airport Hub—A New Business Model to Reduce GHG Emissions in Continental Air Transport

“…In the transport services sector, there is a significant delay in relation to other economic activities in the application of new organizational solutions that would take into account the use of new business models shaped by the use of digital technologies. This is confirmed by the results of research which describe innovative solutions in the management of enterprises in various industries [38]. This article presents an original proposal in this area.…”

A Review of Embedding Artificial Intelligence in Internet of Things and Building Information Modelling for Healthcare Facility Maintenance Management

“…Recently, it was intended to improve maintenance management operations in hospitals, mostly via implementing maintenance policies, performance calculations, and IT applications in order to optimize costs, plans, and productivity of hospitals (Gómez-Chaparro, García-Sanz-Calcedo, & Aunión-Villa, 2020;Amos, Musa, & Au-Yong, 2020). Currently, as a result of misused procedures, absence of data, and lack of reliable information systems, hospital buildings lack an optimal management (Mannino, Dejaco, & Re Cecconi, 2021). For instance, data which are delivered by FM information systems such as Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), and Building Automation Systems (BAS), are often disintegrated and incomplete.…”

“…maintenance resources, physical performance, and energy consumption), and data that need to be quantified to be implemented in FM (e.g. types of facilities, and maintenance policies) (Mannino, Dejaco, & Re Cecconi, 2021). The complexity of healthcare facility management is characterized by the existence of different sorts of data in maintenance resources, physical performance, and energy consumption, as well as the data which require a means of quantification to be implemented in FM.…”

“…Digital technologies have changed everybody's daily activities and have revolutionized many regular practices which aim to obtain precision, productivity, and efficiency (Mannino, Dejaco, & Re Cecconi, 2021). This revolution in digital transformation has revealed new developments in different generations of FM sector while there is a clear lack of tools and references.…”

Mining building information modeling (BIM) event logs for improved project management

“…Another BIM-related review by Mannino et al (2021) uncovered that there was an increasing interest in the integration of BIM with the emerging technique IoT in the recent two years (2019 and 2020). In this regard, BIM adoption as a hot topic is attracting evergrowing attention from academia to improve AECO practice, which is believed to be the promising future direction for sustainable and smart project management.…”
