“…These searches were conducted on the 'Title' field in the WoS, resulting in 121 papers in addition to the 14 papers identified in Stage 1. The contents of all these papers were manually reviewed by a qualitative content analysis process [34], where their main contents identified were summarised using a manual coding process and the summarised content of each article was qualitatively coded into discernible categories. The findings were cross-checked by the authors to minimize bias due to subjective judgement during the content analysis process.…”

Buildings are among the largest sources of carbon emissions, so their owners have been compelled to set stringent sustainability goals in response to the global call for carbon neutrality. Consequently, facility managers are pressed to make their buildings smarter through adopting greater value-for-money sustainability solutions. Besides the implementation of traditional energy-saving measures, retrofitting buildings with smart building (SB) features, known as ‘smart retrofitting’ (SR), has become a growing trend. However, there is still no known set of appropriate criteria for making decisions on SR. To fill this void, a study was undertaken, where a four-tier hierarchical framework of SR decision-making criteria has been established after a thorough literature search on the Web of Science database followed by an in-depth qualitative review and a focus group discussion. A total of 32 criteria were identified, which fall into five categories: (1) Financial; (2) Technical; (3) Human; (4) Environmental; and (5) Legal, safety, and security. A key finding is that it is not merely the post-retrofit performance but also the retrofitting process itself that plays an important part in SR decision-making. The identified criteria demonstrate that ‘smartness’ encompasses not only ‘energy efficiency’ but also a vast array of other technical and social factors. The broad scope portrayed by the criteria, which needs to be considered holistically, provides guidance to facility managers in making SR decisions. Future works for refining the SR decision-making framework are also outlined.

“…As early as 2013 [110], research looked for methods to bring site data to construction sites, and thus to on-site operators, in digital format, via augmented reality. Many methods were developed [111], and today, VR and AR viewers are widely used on construction sites for the management of construction orders [112]; web-based tools are also used [113], particularly given the central importance of cloud resources in the context of the BIM methodology [114]. The research field of technologies for the visualization and navigation of augmented reality based on BIM models is expanding, and has also been integrated with some specialized fields related to artificial intelligence [115].…”

Representation and modeling using the building information modeling (BIM) methodology of civil works have become the subject of increasing attention in recent years, thanks to the potential offered by Open Infrastructure BIM (I-BIM). However, the complexity of infrastructure works, i.e., the variety of construction and technological systems, makes Open I-BIM very complex and challenging. The lack of systemic knowledge on the subject is another challenging factor. The aim of the following research work is to provide a synoptic overview of the existing scientific research, accompanied by the most recent studies in the field of computer modeling, its applications, and the main opportunities that Open I-BIM offers to the infrastructure sector. After a thorough review of 198 scientific articles published between 2013 and 2023, this study systematically presents a holistic review and critical reflection on the current status of the use of Open BIM in the infrastructure sector, with a focus on the development of the tools and methods used. The outcome of this work constitutes a systematic review of the literature with a bibliometric analysis on Open I-BIM, which is able to provide a knowledge base for identifying research trends, common problems, and the potential of developed methods.

“…Such a platform would enhance the efficiency of data sharing, modification, and communication processes, leading to more effective project design management and collaboration. However, how to develop the common BIM-based platform between different software tools and stakeholders in practice is still challenging [7,[38][39][40]. OpenBIM provides a potential solution to build an open and neutral environment for the exchange of information, allowing for better interoperability among the diverse software tools used in the industry [41,42].…”

Design coordination and collaboration are crucial in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industries, necessitating the integration of diverse disciplines and expertise to achieve unified and functional designs. Traditionally, these disciplines operate in isolation, leading to a fragmented design process. Building Information Modeling (BIM), recognized for its collaborative capabilities, presents an opportunity to revolutionize traditional design practices. However, existing research on BIM primarily assumes an ideal environment where all major participants use BIM models, overlooking the dynamics of mixed 2D Computer-aided Design (CAD) and 3D BIM environments. Addressing this research gap, this study aims to establish a dual-level OpenBIM-enabled collaborative design framework, enhancing the design process across various disciplines. The study employs a case study approach, applying this framework to an airport project in Chengdu, China. The airport includes different corridors that are similar in scope and scale but distinct enough to allow for a comparative study. The results demonstrate a 27% faster completion rate, a 98% reduction in design errors, and improved user satisfaction with the proposed method. The paper concludes by discussing the limitations of the study and suggesting avenues for future research.
