“…Among these different simulation disciplines, the design of sustainable buildings and energy simulation has attracted the most interest among architects. In this context, BIM technology seems to be a natural companion to building simulation applications (Svetel et al 2014). The result is a data-rich model that integrates all the information on the construction, including architectural design, structural design and the process of construction and maintenance.…”

With the rise of digital design tools in architecture, this study aims to participate in the current debate taking into account a holistic approach of the parametric paradigm and some of the major potentialities that emerge from its use in the discipline. This paper therefore aims to review this new paradigm and propose a conceptual framework based on its models, levels and systems that support the architectural design process. This framework may help architects realize the potential of parametric tools by using and thinking of parameterization as a general procedure from the initial stage of form-finding to the process of manufacturing. However, the paper argues that the parametric-enabled paradigm is often incorrectly mistaken as an emerging architectural style rather than a computational tool. Therefore, a critical awareness of both the potentials and limitations of parametric paradigms is imperative in the effective use of these models and in understanding how they will continue to change the architectural profession.

“…Building Information Modelling (BIM) is based on digital technologies developed with the special purpose of creating a digital model of a building that contains all its physical and functional characteristics, divided into groups, which allow independent, but at the same time synchronized realization of the project. The BIM model includes information that defines the entire life cycle of the building from: conceptual design, technical design, construction, management and maintenance [7,8].…”

The implementation of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency measures for administrative buildings, contribute for reduction of costs for electricity and other fuels. For estimating the optimal rooftop photovoltaic placement on administrative building, a placement analysis is needed. This analysis enables designer to define the optimal placement of the PV modules on the roof using Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM is based on digital technologies developed with the special purpose for creating a digital model of a building that contains all its physical and functional characteristics and enables easier development of PV system integrated in building. The selected administrative building has a very irregular roof divided on 14 separated rooftops with different orientation and slope. To obtain efficient PV system, the rooftop photovoltaics placement analysis is realised in three different scenarios when all 14 different rooftops are covered by PV modules, 10 rooftops facing north or the ones between other rooftops where shading is imminent, are exempt and 5 rooftops have longer exposure to sun light, or more than 1000 hours per year. The PV system, designed on 5 selected rooftops contains 335 PV modules with a total power of 135 kW and estimated annual production of electricity of 144 074.26 kWh.

“…Much of the promised revolution attributed to BIM are still to come true, in part due to a lack of specific technologies that are already applied in other areas or industries [2]. In addition, the very organization of the AEC industry is slowing down such development [3].…”

Is BIM Big Enough to Take Advantage of Big Data Analytics?

As the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facilities Management industry undergoes a profound change with Building Information Modeling (BIM), it seems the right moment to properly re-structure the inherent processes to promote a new wave of innovation. To leverage digital information from each individual project into business value for the whole industry, researchers must borrow knowledge and solutions from computational fields, such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining and Data Science. They will provide a guide to the development, and even transformation of current BIM processes, with potential for development of new tools and automation of many tasks. What is not entirely clear is if BIM could take advantage also from Big Data Analytics, as some professionals are been advocating. In this paper, the author analyzes Big Data problems and the BIM context, and argues that BIM could not immediately take advantage from Big Datainfrastructure. Nevertheless, a route of development is suggested, which extends BIM from its predominantly building-focused models to models that encompass an entire city, which certainly will demand Big Data Analytics. Thus, a new City Information Modeling seems to be the right path of development for BIM as it turns to be integrated with Geographic Information Systems and will lead to tools that would be adequate for future Smart Cities planning and management.
