A framework of developing machine learning models for facility life-cycle cost analysis

Abstract Machine learning techniques have been used for predicting facility-related costs but there is a lack of research on developing machine learning models for the complete life-cycle cost (LCC) analysis of facilities. This research aims to systematically investigate the feasibility of forecasting facilities’ LCC by implementing machine learning on historical data. The authors propose aContinue reading “A framework of developing machine learning models for facility life-cycle cost analysis”

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”
