Capabilities of rule representations for automated compliance checking in healthcare buildings

A suitable rule representation is essential to enable automated compliance checking of building design. It encapsulates engineering knowledge and facilitates an adequate interpretation design standards. However, existing methods have achieved limited capabilities represent rules for checking. Thus, they merely worked types rules. This paper aims identify needed by using healthcare regulations as example. can serve a foundation developing engines compliance-checking systems in the future. four-step process was used systematically analyse six rule-oriented implementation aspects. The results showed 18 representation, where 16 are required, two desirable. research valuable researchers practitioners providing checklist future development criteria assessing methods.
