The Perceived Value of Building Information Modeling in the U.s. Building Industry
نویسنده
چکیده
Although measuring the business value of BIM has attracted the attention of practitioners and researchers, there has been a lack of consistent cost-benefit benchmarking associated with BIM process enhancements and innovations. An increase in the availability of cost-benefit information will be significant, as one of the primary motivators for professionals in the building industry to adopt new technologies is the opportunity for direct benefits in their own operations. This paper presents findings from an industry-wide online survey that was carried out in the spring of 2009. The study aims to understand the perceived value of BIM in the U.S. building industry, as seen by various participants in the industry. The survey specifically focuses on tangible benefits and costs associated with BIM use at the project level.

With energy resource scarcity and energy crisis in the world, energy efficiency has become a subject of great importance. In warm and humid climates as well as cold and mountainous ones, annual energy consumption is too high to achieve desirable living conditions in built environments, and hence energy efficiency measures and practices in such buildings is of utmost priority. Given the direct r...
متن کاملDeveloping a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
