In the past few decades, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been widely used worldwide in industry of architecture, engineering dan construction (AEC). This scope is started from material manufacturing to project. So, this industry, which one most complex industries, requires improvements time and cost efficiency.. The purpose paper provide best practice using BIM buildings infrastructure....

The value generating aspects of BIM technology on the virtual design and coordination sectors of construction have been well documented. However, a more thorough understanding of BIM’s ability to assist in the sequencing and implementation of field operations is required in order to fully comprehend BIM’s effect on overall project productivity. For this paper, a case study of a 500,000 ft OSHPD...

Building maintenance is the responsibility of its owner which must use, whenever appropriate, a technician to perform the inspection. A good maintenance depends on the analysis of the anomalies detected during the inspection of the site. Building Information Models (BIM) have revealed themselves as a good tool when it comes to supporting maintenance actions, due to their ability to store enough...

In China’s construction industry, it is a normal practice to separately subcontract the decoration engineering part from construction engineering, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) is also done separately. Application of BIM in decoration engineering should be integrated with other disciplines, but Chinese current practice makes this very difficult and complicated. Currently, there are th...

Significant difficulties remain in exchanging information between Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools. The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) exchange schema is too generic to capture the full semantic meaning needed for direct use by different construction project stakeholders' BIM tools. Although BIM standards that prescribe model view definitions (MVD) for domain-specific exchanges are ...

Energy efficient building design, construction, and operations require the development and sharing of building information among different individuals, organizations, and computer applications. Building Information Modeling (BIM) servers are tools used to enable an effective exchange of data. This paper describes an investigation into the core BIM server requirements needed to effectively suppo...

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...

In contemporary building practice, the hegemony of 2D-based design communication is gradually being challenged by the possibilities offered by integrated 3D design environments and digital interfaces. The upcoming application of building information modeling (BIM) offers a way out of the current Babylonian plurality of non-compatible modeling-languages in order to push software developers and u...

One of the major goals of building information modeling (BIM) is to support automated compliance checking (ACC). To support ACC, project information (i.e., building design information) needs to be extracted from BIM models and transformed into a representation that would allow for automated reasoning about those project/design information in combination with information from regulatory document...
