“…Without procedures in place for the standard to which a building is modelled, extraction of elements from one environment for use in another can cause errors in data recreation (Process) , gaps in knowledge where data stored in one format is not available in another (System) (Costa et al, 2013) or inability to access information due to proprietary formats (System) (Sanguinetti et al, 2012). Several of these were experienced in the university teaching facilities projects due to the platforms on which information was initially created not matching those with which that information was then developed.…”

“…Transfers between BIM software and BEM tools have often focussed on a single aspect of performance modelling, such as HVAC systems (O'Sullivan and Keane, 2005) or envelope geometry (Verstraeten et al, 2008), with a comprehensive transfer of the sum total of performance impacting information is yet to be realised (System). Direct exchange of data between BIM and BEM design tools remains unattainable (Hitchcock and Wong, 2011;Sanguinetti et al, 2012) …”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the implications building information modelling (BIM) is having on the building energy modelling (BEM) and design of buildings. It addresses the issues surrounding exchange of information throughout the design process, and where BIM may be useful in contributing to effective design progression and information availability. Design/methodology/approach Through review of current design procedures and examination of the concurrency between architectural and thermophysical design modelling, a procedure for information generation relevant to design stakeholders is created, and applied to a high-performance building project currently under development. Findings The extents of information key to the successful design of a buildings energy performance in relation to its architectural objectives are given, with indication of the level of development required at each stage of the design process. Practical implications BIM offers an extensible medium for parametric information storage, and its implementation in design development offers the capability to include BEM parameter-integrated construction information. The extent of information required for accurate BEM at stages of a building’s design is key to understanding how best to record performance information in a BIM environment. Originality/value This paper contributes to the discussion around the integration of concurrent design procedures and a common data environment. It presents a framework for the creation and dissemination of information during design, exemplifies this on a real building project and evaluates the barriers experienced in successful implementation.

“…While most of the interfaces facilitate building performance model creation by eliminating redundant data input, users must still create multiple simulation models to execute multi-domain simulations due to the non-integrated interfaces of the various simulation tools. Moreover, building designers and professional building performance simulators have different model translation methodologies; designers utilize BIM-based building performance simulation tools GUIs to model translations in order to create separate simulation models, but building performance simulation experts likely perform the model translations by a more traditional process [36]. To facilitate data translation between the design and building performance analysis stages, building performance simulation experts may need to adopt different modeling practices such as an object-oriented modeling approach, which enhances direct object mapping between object-based design models (BIM) and building performance simulation models.…”

Abstract:The development of separate building performance simulation tools has brought about a significant need for the integration of multi-domain simulations that would enable multiple building performance analyses to be conducted from a single building model. Insufficient data integration between the tools and Building Information Modeling (BIM) currently prevents the efficient production of comprehensive building performance analyses. To overcome this problem, a multi-domain simulation tool, effective and efficient data, and a process integration methodology are all required. Object-Oriented Physical Modeling (OOPM) has emerged as a form of object-oriented modeling capable of supporting multiple domain simulations. Adoption of OOPM into building performance simulations with BIM is particularly interesting as a means of facilitating model translations between BIM and BEM (Building Energy Modeling). Specifically, complex data translation from the building topology in BIM to the space boundary conditions in BEM is both labor intensive and time consuming. This research uses case studies to investigate the feasibility of automatically translating a building topology from BIM to OOPM-based BEM. We included numerous preconditions in order to incorporate various object semantic differences into each model translation. Our research indicates that this adoption approach allows seamless model translations from BIM to OOPM-based BEM, which supports efficient and effective thermal simulations and facilitates the reuse of BIM data in multi-domain simulations.

“…Furthermore, the construction industry has gradually adopted BIM technology in the design and development process in larger and more complex construction projects. Examples of BIM-related applied research in recent years include Chen and Luo [2], Motamedi et al [3] and Sanguinetti et al [4]. These studies integrate BIM with data and method for applications.…”

In this study, a system which utilizes Cloud technology to establish a data center to store and manage multiple BIMs simultaneously has been developed. This BIM data center can not only handle the big data of massive BIMs using multiple servers in a distributed manner, but can also be accessed by using various online devices anywhere, anytime for information sharing and visualization. Traditional BIM includes only static information, such as the geometric parameters, physical properties, and spatial relations, for modeling of the physical space. In this study, BIM was extended to dynamic BIM which also includes dynamic data, such as historical records from the monitoring of the facility environment and usage, as well as the user experience parameters from continuous observation of the interaction between users and the space. Due to such an extension, dynamic BIM became a parametric model which can be used to simulate user behaviors. Regarding the applications of dynamic BIM big data, this study proposes a Cloud-based system framework to effectively retrieve required information for various applications by big data analysis based on parallel processing of large data sets.
