Introduction BIM Data Requirements & Guidelines COBie: Data Entry and Responsibility Matrix COBie: Quality Control BIM and BAS Integration: Use Cases Mobile BIM and Work Orders Asset View in BIM and Point Cloud Presenter: Igor Starkov President EcoDomus
Strategic Tactical
Discovery: Root Cause Analysis: Understand why our current state is the way it is. Future Process Mapping: Specify how to get to a desired state. Further Considerations: Identify additional areas where BIM can improve current processes. Must Do Work Tracks: 1. BIM Communication Plan 2. Project BIM Standards 3. Lifecycle Data Standards 4. BIM-based Quality Control 5. O&M Data Collection & Handover 6. Integrated Data Management 7. Smart Buildings Should Do Work Tracks: 1. BIM Templates (Smart Objects) 2. BIM Templates (Design) 3. Sustainability Metrics 4. Project AEC Team Qualifying 5. Project Commissioning 6. Conversion of Legacy Data to BIM 7. Project Success Metrics * From the KP presentation at the Healthcare BIM Consortium
Tactical BIM Guidelines include: Detailed requirements for object attributes Nomenclature specification COBie milestones and required data BIM Level of Development modeling requirements Model coordination rules Final as-built model requirements (what BIM authoring software should be used) Modeling for FM (tips and tricks) Execution Plan template
Begin with the end in mind. Ask questions. Examples (Plain Language Questions): Q: How do we service Heating Units? A: We replace filters > we need to know filter sizes > add to required attributes A: Compare fan RPM to design specs > need to know design Fan RPM value > add to required attributes A: Need Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for disposal requirements > add as a required document, etc. etc. Use industry standards (COBie, SPie, etc) where possible to reduce costs and ensure continuity. Example: Common Object Library template for a Fan asset type.
Owners should provide detailed tactical BIM Guidelines based on the strategic BIM roadmap. A/E s, FM technology consultants, and Contractors help set up a roadmap if it doesn t exist. A/E/C project team members create a detailed BIM/COBie Execution Plan based on owner s project requirements. Continuously collect and check quality of entered data and documents throughout the project in the appropriate software: EcoDomus PM. Final acceptance of data handover as a COBie spread sheet or, preferably, as a dataset imported into CMMS/CAFM and integrated with EcoDomus FM. Continuous improvement of a Facility Management Program feeds future projects requirements.

Well-structured data should be collected in the most efficient way to be affordable and easily analyzed Use COBie as a process standardization makes the results more affordable Look for scalability ( big data ) and strive for data normalization Reuse information as much as possible Allow data collection methods to fit the available budget Require Quality Control penalize for bad / award for good performance EcoDomus PM Focus Areas
Information Maintenance: Maintaining good data is more difficult than collecting it. Integrations are defined by business workflows (use cases) Interfaces provided per end user readiness (i.e. mobile or web, 3D BIM or point cloud) Functionality of existing FM tools are enhanced by BIM visualization and object attributes/relationship analysis EcoDomus FM Focus Areas Implement new technology and processes gradually, but do not delay it either.
COBie is an open industry standard for collecting and exchanging project data. It enables quick upload of handover data into FM tools (minutes vs. months). Owners learn how to run the facility even before moving in. COBie does not specify what data should be collected. EcoDomus is the leading provider of COBie-compliant software. EcoDomus was the first construction software to get COBie certified in 2009. US Army Corps of Engineers, Engineering Research and Development Center (c) 2009
Where do we start? Define the process: 1. Who provides data (Responsibility Matrix) 2. When data is provided (link to milestones, i.e. DD, CD, etc.) 3. How it is entered (exported from BIM, entered by sub online, by sub in Excel, on ipad, PDF sent, etc.) 4. Who checks/verifies data 5. What data is required 6. What tools are used Etc.
EcoDomus approach: 1. Try collecting / entering data once, i.e. if an object is placed in BIM with proper attributes then no need to re-enter the same data manually later on 2. Export/Import data from BIM authoring apps (Revit, Bentley, IFC, etc.) using EcoDomus BIM Connector (plug-in) BIM authoring apps EcoDomus BIM Connector EcoDomus Web
EcoDomus approach: 1. Asset Types are assigned to a particular provider (designer/contractor) 2. Export/Import COBie file by a provider (filtering by asset types) to ease data entry
EcoDomus approach: 1. Edit data online 2. Edit data on mobile devices
Most BIM projects are 3D drafting Focus on 2D deliverables Asset names are cryptic Properties are missing or wrong Building systems (MEP) are not defined Geometry issues (i.e. duplicate assets, surfaces overlap, etc.) Building Information Modeling Focus on 3D + Data Asset names meet owner reqs Properties are verified Building systems (MEP) show actual connections Geometry issues are resolved: easy to navigate and get data Systems are not specified Asset name = W-1080-08. What does it mean? Hundreds of warnings / errors of modeling
EcoDomus approach: Check for missing attributes that owner requested, documents that are not linked to BIM/COBie objects, ensure COBie rules are met, etc.
Design & Construction is a small part (~20%) of total building Lifecycle costs ~ $0.25 per square foot is lost every year due to data management issues Use Cases for Lifecycle BIM 1. FM Labor Utilization Savings (Shorter Work Order Time) 2. Handover QC (Less Expensive, More Reliable) 3. Utility Costs Reduction (Energy Efficiency) 4. Risk Management (Quick Reaction) 5. Business Process Visualization (Sales Reports) 6. Fuel and Material Savings (Less Travel & Waste) 7. Comfort Management (Improved Productivity) 8. Data Accuracy (No Need to Re-Survey for As-Builts) 9. Regulations Compliance (Auto-Checking Codes) 10. Space Optimization (Smart Algorithms) 11. Improved Inventory Management (Spare Parts) 12. Configuration Management (Impact/Functional Conflicts) 13. Shutdown Planning (Renovation)
Chillers, Supply Water Temperature, and Fast Recovery Valves
Create a calibrated energy model that would provide a way to compare an ideal, simulated building performance vs. actual performance to identify areas of concern. Energy model is created using BIM and EnergyPlus and integrated into EcoDomus database. Building zones / rooms are sorted based on their performance proximity to the simulated results. The chart below shows simulated values and actual data from sensors.
CMMS application generates a work order. Push notification is sent to ipad Technician opens EcoDomus BIM viewer to find the equipment that needs servicing, and attaches it to the work order. The equipment s corresponding documents are reviewed.
ipads are cool, but not every technician wants to carry them all the time Android (iphone) phones are always in the pocket Cloud-rendering enables viewing BIMs even on small devices Help technicians by providing sequence of tasks for work orders (PM jobs)
Pros: cheaper than creating full 3D BIM; highly realistic view; ability to measure distances; link to asset data. Cons: cannot isolate (hide / show) objects or systems like BIM.
