Summary A large amount of resources are spent on constructing new facilities and maintaining the existing ones. The total cost of facility ownership can be minimized by focusing on reducing the facilities life-cycle costs (LCC) rather than the initial design and construction costs. This thesis presents a research project that developed a machine learning-enabled facilityContinue reading “A Framework for Developing Machine Learning Models for Facility Life Cycle Cost Analysis through BIM and IoT”

BIM-enabled facilities operation and maintenance: A review
Abstract Building Information modeling (BIM) has the potential to advance and transform facilities Operation and Maintenance (O&M) by providing a platform for facility managers to retrieve, analyze, and process building information in a digitalized 3D environment. Currently, because of rapid developments in BIM, researchers and industry professionals need a state-of-the-art overview of BIM implementation and researchContinue reading “BIM-enabled facilities operation and maintenance: A review”
Past, Present, and Future of BIM-Enabled Facilities Operation and Maintenance
Abstract By offering a powerful means to retrieve information from a virtual model of a facility, building information modeling (BIM) has the potential to save the costs borne by owners and operators during facility operation and maintenance (O&M). Currently, researchers and industry professionals require a state-of-the-art overview of the various BIM-related inventions and innovative applicationsContinue reading “Past, Present, and Future of BIM-Enabled Facilities Operation and Maintenance”
Planning and developing facility management-enabled building information model (FM-enabled BIM)
Highlights Theoretical applications of BIM for facilities management are discussed. A proposed FM-enabled BIM implementation is examined in a real-world pilot project, describing in detail the process of planning and developing BIM for its later use during the handover and operations phases. State-of-the-art BIM-enabled strategies and tools are applied on the project to achieve theContinue reading “Planning and developing facility management-enabled building information model (FM-enabled BIM)”
