“…It is built upon CAD tool and transfers information via the STEP, IFC standard. A simulation environment suitable for the global model and the large-scale model project was introduced to use ISO standard model language and can provide users with both text and graphics simulation information [194]. An activity process model that can be used in the construction phase [195] and a parametric model that is considered as an effective model for construction of the knowledge embedded in the professional domain [196] were both introduced in 2006.…”

“…Efforts such as ID'EST, EDM, and COMBINE [Kim et al 1997, Eastman & Siabiris 1995, Augenbroe 1995, Amor et al 1995 have focused on developing sharable product models and databases of increasing sophistication that include factual information about the objects they describe, with particular emphasis on solving issues of concurrency, data-integrity, and data-sharing [Eastman 1994, Galle 1995, Jacobsen et al 1997, Sun & Lockley 1997, Yaski 1981. Most of these methods assume that the data will be accessed by suitable computer programs.…”

Abstract:The primary uses of computers in the construction industry have been shifting, over the past four decades, from the evaluation of proposed design solutions, to their graphical (and other) representation, and more recently to facilitating collaboration among the various professionals who are involved in the design process. The paper argues that what may appear to be shifts in emphasis actually represents convergence on a single, original goal: the use of computers to help designers assess the quality, desirability, and the implications of their creations. The paper shows how the formerly independent components can be joined into an integrated collaborative design environment, where they build upon and strengthen each other. Moreover, the paper argues that this convergence represents the future of CAAD research and development, providing the appropriate answer to the upcoming needs of the construction industry, whose products have become too complex and must abide by too many requirements for any one professional to handle all by himself. The paper argues that further improvements in the overall quality of the products, and the process of their design, will only accrue when the heretofore separate solutions are considered together, as integral parts of an overall solution. The paper describes the efforts that have been made by the CAD Research Group in Berkeley over the past six years in developing an integrated collaborative design environment that can facilitate multidisciplinary, a-synchronous design of buildings. The environment includes several semantically-rich, shared product representations, a network of distributed evaluators, and graphicallyenhanced collaboration and negotiation tools.

“…The COMBINE project, working with the STEP standard, deals with a neutral file exchange of data among various application programs-primarily energy and HVAC (Amor et al 1995). It does have, at its core, an integrated data model for the building description, which gets translated to the applications.…”
