Connecting BIM and IoT for addressing user awareness toward energy savings

Connecting BIM and IoT for addressing user awareness toward energy savings Buildings are equipped with several devices for monitoring their use and performance, while tracking user behaviors. Those devices monitoring indoor conditions, outdoor weather, room occupancy or user preferences gather large amounts of data, with a great potential for changing the way buildings are designed, constructed, experienced and operated. However, limited advantages are generally derived by those data as several barriers still exist for making data available and valuable in real-time to users. The paper mainly addresses barriers concerning information awareness, information structure, information redundancy and interoperability, information transmission and information fruition. The paper deals with those issues by presenting strategies based on the integration of building information modeling-based processes and internet of things-related paradigms. Strategies are provided for an information-driven asset management, relying on a user-centric approach, for engaging end-users in building operation while addressing behavioral changes. Those strategies are based on a dynamic use of data for defining digitally supported practices and digitally enabled workflows. Digitally supported practices are proposed as procedures for keeping users engaged in building operation and for promoting behavioral changes. Digitally enabled workflows are developed for exchanging and updating information, connecting different data sources, through open and proprietary solutions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Structural Integrity and Maintenance Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Buildings are equipped with several devices for monitoring their use and performance, while tracking user behaviors. Those devices monitoring indoor conditions, outdoor weather, room occupancy or user preferences gather large amounts of data, with a great potential for changing the way buildings are designed, constructed, experienced and operated. However, limited advantages are generally derived by those data as several barriers still exist for making data available and valuable in real-time to users. The paper mainly addresses barriers concerning information awareness, information structure, information redundancy and interoperability, information transmission and information fruition. The paper deals with those issues by presenting strategies based on the integration of building information modeling-based processes and internet of things-related paradigms. Strategies are provided for an information-driven asset management, relying on a user-centric approach, for engaging end-users in building operation while addressing behavioral changes. Those strategies are based on a dynamic use of data for defining digitally supported practices and digitally enabled workflows. Digitally supported practices are proposed as procedures for keeping users engaged in building operation and for promoting behavioral changes. Digitally enabled workflows are developed for exchanging and updating information, connecting different data sources, through open and proprietary solutions.
