“…In the last years, the technological developments in home automation have brought to propensity a condition-based maintenance approach, based on efficiency status monitoring [44]. This maintenance process is based on Building Management Systems (BMS) ensuring service control (e.g., lighting, fire and air conditioning) monitoring over time status indicators in order to ensure living comfort, plant efficiency and sustainability [45], and to report and manage failures [37].…”

The integration of facility management and building information modelling (BIM) is an innovative and critical undertaking process to support facility maintenance and management. Even though recent research has proposed various methods and performed an increasing number of case studies, there are still issues of communication processes to be addressed. This paper presents a theoretical framework for digital systems integration of virtual models and smart technologies. Based on the comprehensive analysis of existing technologies for indoor localization, a new workflow is defined and designed, and it is utilized in a practical case study to test the model performance. In the new workflow, a facility management supporting platform is proposed and characterized, featuring indoor positioning systems to allow end users to send geo-referenced reports to central virtual models. In addition, system requirements, information technology (IT) architecture and application procedures are presented. Results show that the integration of end users in the maintenance processes through smart and easy tools can overcome the existing limits of barcode systems and building management systems for failure localization. The proposed framework offers several advantages. First, it allows the identification of every element of an asset including wide physical building elements (walls, floors, etc.) without requiring a prior mapping. Second, the entire cycle of maintenance activities is managed through a unique integrated system including the territorial dimension. Third, data are collected in a standard structure for future uses. Furthermore, the integration of the process in a centralized BIM-GIS (geographical information system) information management system admit a scalable representation of the information supporting facility management processes in terms of assets and supply chain management and monitoring from a spatial perspective.

“…However, this study focused on collecting and retrieving actual data from BAS and CMMS systems using BIM as a data repository during the O&M phase. The second study was conducted by Katipamula et al [79]; who developed an approach to integrate BIM and BAS to create actionable information that can lead to work orders being processed through the CMMS system using an open-source reference platform, VOLTTRON. However, the approach presented in this article was deployed in a limited number of buildings, due to the high cost of its implementation, which requires additional sensing devices and labour to discover and map devices into the BAS.…”

“…Furthermore, the integration of information through BIM change the nature of existing and new building operations (Katipamula et al 2017). When investigating and predicting side effects of a design solution, BIM-based approaches are much more effective and e cient than traditional ones (Jafari et al 2020).…”

Construction projects account for a large percentage of national resources, but they are typically nished at a cost and time beyond the initial estimates. Building Information Modeling (BIM) help coordinate and integrate design and construction efforts to achieve the ultimate bene t needed to satisfy all the stakeholders. Despite the reported bene ts of BIM, the implementation of such a new technology initially entails costs and barriers that sometimes delay the bene ts achieved from their use. BIM also cast suspicion on whether they are useful, thereby reducing its adoption rate. This study aims to evaluate the bene ts of implementing BIM functions compared to the cost of its implementation. The results include a Cost-Bene t Analysis (CBA) for three construction projects in Iran by conducting semi-structured interviews. Finally, despite all the limitations and shortcomings, the achieved bene ts outweigh the incurred costs, and BIM implementation in these three construction projects was bene cial.One of the innovations of this study is the use of cost-bene t analysis in evaluating the bene ts of BIM, which is tangible and quantitative.
