Data visualization and analysis of energy flow on a multi-zone building scale

Building information modeling for facilities management: A literature review and future research directions

“…However, our review shows that very little research focused on using BIM for facilities' energy management. The very few identified studies presented different approaches to BIM implementation in energy management, which included: using BIM for monitoring, analysing and optimising the performance of facility systems and accordingly building an operational strategy to be implemented [80]; providing building energy consumption assessment that supports management decision-making [81], and visualizing sensor data in a BIM environment to support energy-saving management decision-making [82]. Other studies presented a conceptual framework that integrates COBie and energy assessment tools to develop data attributes with correct information for effective asset information modeling (AIM) [83], and a framework that integrates BIM, sensor data and regulatory information to facilitate the compliance checking process [84].…”

On exploiting Data Visualization and IoT for Increasing Sustainability and Safety in a Smart Campus

“…Using these technologies, we were able to develop a responsive web-based application, enjoyable both from smartphones and tablets and larger screens (i.e., laptop). Regarding the server-side, we used Node.js 6 and the framework Express 7 . The server communicates with different data sources, such as i) open data provided directly by the University of Bologna, to gain information about the courses and the class schedule inside the Cesena campus; ii) a MySQL database containing information (such as name, location, capacity) about classrooms and laboratories inside the campus; and iii) a database with information about the number of enrolled students for each teaching and courses of study.…”

“…This is particularly true if related to smart environment, both outdoor (e.g., visualizing urban accessibility data [2][3][4]) and indoor (e.g., designing infographics to stimulate environmental awareness [5]). Focusing on the indoor, Data Visualization can be useful to display information tied to the IoT infrastructure and sensors deployed inside smart buildings, to make people aware of the specific conditions (e.g., air Chiara Ceccarini chiara.ceccarini6@unibo.it 1 Dipartimento di Informatica -Scienza e Ingegneria, Università di Bologna, Mura Anteo Zamboni 7, Bologna, 40126, Italy quality and energy consumption [6]) and dynamics (e.g., people flow, [7]) of the environment they are experiencing.…”
