BIM (Building Information Modeling) - vdma.eu
- This can be used as part of/in conjunction with a Digital Twin of the building
- Interoperability with BACnet
- Definition by ISO in ISO 19650
- Documentation in the building industry through virtual models (three dimensions in space, added information)
- Collaborative process in planning, design and construction of building projects
- Used as information storage and source during the building’s lifecycle
- Within BIM, there are different standards (some open, some proprietary) with limited interoperability between each other
- First concept developed in 1970s by Charles M. Eastman
- ISO 19650 has been launched in January 2019
- Term “Building Information Model” first appeared in 1992 in a paper by G.A. van Nederveen and F.P. Tolman
- Increased transparency in building lifecycle, resulting in increased security in planning, scheduling and cost in construction
- Increased quality of project planning
- Decisions can be made sooner and with more quality information
- Tests and checks for the building based on project documentation, e.g. energy efficiency, construction scheduling, defect tracking
- Overview of data sources
- Architecture and construction industry especially for project planning, construction coordination and historic preservation (information management).
