An auto-deployed model-based fault detection and diagnosis approach for Air Handling Units using BIM and Modelica

Review on Fault Detection and Diagnosis Feature Engineering in Building Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems

“…Owing to the time-consuming and labour-intensive characteristics of human-designed fault experiments, researchers have begun to perform FE research via fault simulations -generating fault data via fault modelling and simulations can be less expensive than the alternative. Some developed simulated fault models [90][91][92][93][94] and analysed fault impacts using software such as EnergyPlus [95][96][97], BIM [94,98,99], Modelica [100][101][102], TRNSYS [103][104][105], HVACSIM+ [106] and Simulink [107]. In addition, some practical fault-operating data can be stored or processed online for FDD and FE purposes.…”

Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Health Monitoring and Maintenance Process: A Systematic Review

“…Structural safety is the main goal of engineers all over the world; therefore, they are drawn to investigate novel ways of assessing structural defects, facilitated by BIM. Existing research in this area has focused on: goals such as conflict detection based on the life cycle versus as-built documents by considering all changes in the structure, fault detection of energy-consuming tools in buildings through BIM and simulation tools for energy monitoring, fault detection in buildings and non-structural components, damage detection in timber structures, tunnel flaws diagnosis to find maintenance strategies that are also used for utility tunnels, fault detection of hospitals for rehabilitation, automatic detection, and identification of lamps in a building [ 138 , 155 , 156 , 157 , 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 , 163 , 164 , 165 ]. Some papers used laser scanner data of existing structures along with BIM models [ 166 ].…”

“…Future research in this category would involve: large-scale sensor monitoring of modular buildings [ 171 ], fully mature and industry-grade fault detection for all devices of buildings [ 157 ], identifying component parameters and their interconnection structure in BIM models [ 158 ], a dynamic semantic extension mechanism and emergency response function for tunnels [ 165 ], statistical analysis of the differences in BIM tasks assigned to key activities [ 168 ], integrating Big Data technology to the Internet of Things-enabled BIM platform [ 170 ], upper dimension (5D) seismic repair analyses including structural and nonstructural components [ 176 ], laser scanning after damage and renovation of the defective BIM model based on damages [ 173 ], and integration different data sources for increased input accuracy [ 159 ].…”

Exchange requirements to support demand side management using BIM and Building Automation System domains

“…Developed and maintained by the buildingSMART alliance, the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) open standard, or ISO 16739 standard, is the dominant non-proprietary data format which allows the exchange of building data for BIM applications across the asset's entire life cycle (Sporr et al 2019). Based on an object-oriented data schema, IFC describes an object as an entity and the relation between the entities as a concept (Andriamamonjy et al 2018). Since IFC data models can contain a wide range of building information, an integrated process for delivering IFC-based data exchange for domain-specific functionalities has been developed by the buildingSMART alliance.…”

“…The integration between the BIM and BAS domains has been investigated in previous studies both to translate BAS design information into BIM (Vieira 2015, Tang et al 2020, and to apply various building services, including HVAC control strategies (Sanz et al 2018, Benndorf et al 2017, Sporr et al 2019, and fault detection and diagnostics algorithms (Andriamamonjy et al 2018). While these methods revealed that BAS information can be properly represented by BIM, the integration between BIM and multiple BAS communication protocols and control applications remains limited.…”
