Abstract Even with the utilization of software tools like Navisworks to automate clash detection, clash resolution in construction projects remains a slow and manual process. The reason is the meticulous nature of the process where coordinators need to ensure that resolving one clash does not lead to new clashes. The use of machine learning toContinue reading “Developing a Machine-Learning Model to Predict Clash Resolution Options”

BIM assisted Building Automation System information exchange using BACnet and IFC
Highlights Abstract Smart buildings are the trend of the next generation’s commercial buildings that link different building systems together with the Building Automation System (BAS). Building information modeling (BIM) assists in data exchange and information flow. Previous research has explored BAS and BIM integration for energy management, building design optimization and operation, and building fault detection and diagnostics. However, it is rarely seenContinue reading “BIM assisted Building Automation System information exchange using BACnet and IFC”
A Framework for Developing Machine Learning Models for Facility Life Cycle Cost Analysis through BIM and IoT
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”
Foundational Research in Integrated Building Internet of Things (IoT) Data Standards
Abstract This research report was produced for the CDAIT IoT Research Working Group, based on research conducted by Georgia Tech College of Design researchers under the supervision of Dr. Pardis Pishdad-Bozorgi of the School of Building Construction and Dr. Dennis Shelden, director of the Digital Building Laboratory (DBL). The report provides a brief review ofContinue reading “Foundational Research in Integrated Building Internet of Things (IoT) Data Standards”
