Enabling Federated Interoperable Issue Management in a Building and Construction Sector
A Common Data Environment (CDE) is an agreed-upon source of information on building-related projects to collect, manage, and exchange data between stakeholders. The approach in the AEC domain is to use buildingSMART’s BIM Collaboration Format (BCF) as the digital issue communication part of CDEs. Contrasting with the federated nature of the AEC industry, CDEs are […]
“A Methodology for the Digitalization of the Residential Building Renovation Process through OpenBIM-Based Workflows”
The European building industry is facing a strong increase in renovation processes, which are still non-cost-effective, involve unproperly coordinated stakeholders, are disturbing for the occupants, and cause important inefficiencies in the overall renovation process. In this context, digitalization and Building Information Modelling (BIM), as an enabler, is the key solution that may drive renovation interventions […]
“Challenges for Digitalisation in Building Renovation to Enhance the Efficiency of the Process: A Spanish Case Study”.
The article is Open Access. It was originally published Sustainability. Although construction is one of the largest industries in the world, it is one of the least digitised and its productivity is still very low. Excesses of time and cost are common and are even more accentuated for building renovation. Recently, the building information modeling […]
Digitalization Tools for Energy-Efficient Renovations
The article is Open Access. It was originally published here: Link to article. Digital transformation in the built environment is a fact that will shape the industry, increasing its efficiency and improving its quality. However, there are many challenges still facing the industry to complete this transformation. Under this theme, during the Sustainable Places 2020 […]
Multiple inheritance for a modular BIM
The article is Open Access. It was originally published here: Link to article. The article is in French. L’IFC a été créé comme format ouvert standard pour l’interopérabilité des logiciels BIM. Son adoption est pourtant rendue délicate par sa structuration monolithique, non-modulaire et néanmoins en constante croissance. Un des enjeux est donc de permettre une […]
IFC To Building Energy Performance Simulation: A Systematic Review Of The Main Adopted Tools And Approaches
The article is Open Access. It was originally published here: Link to article. Due to the fast digital transition of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Owner Operator (AECOO) industry, a large amount of information is regularly exchanged between the involved participants. Handling and processing the exchanged data remain a major challenge for many related activities, such […]
Common Data Environments for the Information Container for linked Document Delivery
The article is Open Access. It was originally published here: Link to article. This article is part of the proceedings of the 8th Linked Data in Architecture and Construction Workshop – LDAC2020. Unstructured and poorly managed information is a majorcause of time delays in construction projects. Availability of relevantinformation at the required time has a […]
