1 Information Sharing in Collaborative and Process Chief Research Scientist, Architect SAFA TEKES Tekes: and Wood Technology Cluster 2/28 Information and Communication Technology Well-being Timber and wood products Real Machinery Estate Building Services Building Materials and Environment Components Infrastructures Energy Logistics Forest Industry Services Transportation Tekes mission: R&D must become a constant part of the normal business also in the AEC/FM industry Change in the basic philosophy: We must move from minimizing the costs to maximizing the added value

2 Allocation of R&D resources Uncertainty Risk Basic research curiosity research Finnish Academy Universities strategic basic research Applied research Product development Commercialization Marketing Internationalization Business development Investment Tekes Finnvera TE-Centers Distance to markets Allocated total Industries Venture capital Allocated resources 3/28 A National R&D Program The target is to promote the implementation and use of IT and networks as the enabling technologies to re-engineer the construction process Development of the Process Implementation of IT SYNERGY Life Cycle Information Management Efficient Use of the Information Networks Information Sharing 4/28

3 5/28 Program Volume Schedule - six years; Volume Original budget 170 million FIM (28.5 million ) Current budget 250 million FIM (42.0 million ) 45 % by Tekes 115 million FIM (19.3 million ) 55 % by the industry 135 million FIM (22.7 million ) Current project allocation Research projects: 35 / 20 million FIM (3.4 million ) Industrial projects: 87 / 162 million FIM (27.2 million ) Total: 122 projects / 182 million FIM (30.6 million ) Short project presentations in the web Current Problem The work is mainly done with computers but much of the information is still exchanged on paper, which causes non-valueadding work, friction, data losses and errors 6/28

4 Goal in the Future Information is shared in exploitable data format directly between different systems 7/28 Requirements for Networking Infrastructure high-capacity networks Common information language standardized/agreed data structures software support for data sharing Tools and processes computers connected to the networks software support for collaboration Culture will to collaborate sufficient IT know-how 8/28

5 IFC - The Common Information Language Information Sharing in Collaborative and Process TEKES 10/28 Why are we supporting IFCs? One of the key elements for Vera program is the information sharing urgent need for a global language for AEC/FM software products almost half of the Vera projects have a connection to IFCs IAI started at the right time for us incremental development enables immediate implementation IAI is the most active area on the data definition for the construction industry same modeling language with STEP some areas can possibly expand to ISO work in the future

8 15/28 and Engineering Processes Shared models can contain complex rules for behavior and relations between objects easy and cost efficient evaluation and simulation at any project stage thermal, lighting and performance simulation more accurate cost estimation environmental evaluation (semi)automated design integration and code checking New service areas for designers/engineers LCA/LCC services information maintenance FM services... BSPro COM Server / Olof Granlund Maintenance tools BS CLIENT System design CAD Energy simulation LCC LCA Product data tools BS CLIENT As built data CAD Product data Commissioning FM tools BS CLIENT System data Maintenance Documents Help desk Consumption Product data BSPro COM Server for IFC files 16/28 Architectural CAD IFC IFC file IFC Other IFC compliant software Life cycle data repository for building services DOE (US Department of Energy) has taken BSPro Server as the middleware to import building geometry into the next generation energy simulation software EnergyPlus published in April 2001

9 Thermal Simulation / Olof Granlund RIUSKA uses IFC building objects based on the DOE simulation engine Supports both IFC and R2.0 through the BSPro IFC/COM Server 17/28 In the Sanomatalo building project advanced IT applications of Olof Granlund were used in the comfort and energy consumption simulations already in early design stages.

10 19/28 Process Wide utilization of design data Information as a part of the product: building maintenance database based on as-built information will be delivered as a part of the production ecommerce is not just procurement and transactions; product information must be a part of the ecommerce electronic product libraries with direct interface to design and procurement software and building data models IFC compliant XML Change requires: process and tool development Project management tools 4D CAD: Time schedule combined to 3D Model Checker / Solibri 20/28 Based on Java technology Checks consistency of building and spatial elements, exit routes, etc

11 Examples of Product Libraries Viva - lighting design and simulation software by Olof Granlund GDL Object Explorer by GDL Technology 21/28 22/28 Lifecycle Management Key people are the clients; building owners and facility managers. they will have the most benefits they can set the requirements Better tools for early decision making LCA and LCC tools maintenance simulations Better tools for FM/PM better budgeting tools better utilization of resources better management for preventive maintenance lower costs for maintenance

13 Real Life Cycle View? Client s core business FM services Building process Pressure to change Change adaptation Where are the real benefits of information sharing and ebusiness? 25/28 Culture Information Sharing in Collaborative and Process TEKES

14 Barriers to the Change The change to data sharing is not only technical - it is much more cultural new processes and tools supporting them real partnering and sharing the benefits through the whole AEC/FM industry investments and benefits do not always meet sufficient IT skills a pre-study for the Vera program in showed that the lack of IT skills and know-how is the main barrier to the wider implementation of IT in the AEC/FM industry 27/28 28/28 New Business Concepts Drafting" information management paper document digital information traditional documents product models document a view of the model from a specified angle at a specified moment technical and juridical problems Environmental issues are coming more and more important Information will be produced for: decision making and production use and maintenance of buildings Minimizing the cost maximizing the added value through the whole building life cycle
