“…Because of design changes and unintentional deviations, constructing a BIM model for a completed building to improve the building's smartness is more complicated than a new building. Xue et al [78] proposed that constructing information models for built buildings is an ongoing challenge for the global BIM and computing engineering Advances in Civil Engineering community. Chen et al [79] proposed a method for automatically reconstructing the BIM model for the existing buildings based on multisource correction of geometric primitive (MSTEP).…”

The construction industry is undergoing a digital revolution due to the emergence of new technologies. A significant trend is that construction projects have been transformed and upgraded to the digital and smart mode in the whole life cycle. As a critical technology for the construction industry’s innovative development, building information modeling (BIM) is widely adopted in building design, construction, and operation. BIM has gained much interest in the research field of smart buildings in recent years. However, the dimensions of BIM and smart building applications have not been explored thoroughly so far. With an in-depth review of related journal articles published from 1996 to July 2020 on the BIM applications for smart buildings, this paper provides a comprehensive understanding and critical thinking about the nexus of BIM and smart buildings. This paper proposes a framework with three dimensions for the nexus of BIM application in smart buildings, including BIM attributes, project phases, and smart attributes. According to the three dimensions, this paper elaborates on (1) the advantages of BIM for achieving various smartness; (2) applications of BIM in multiple phases of smart buildings; and (3) smart building functions that be achieved with BIM. Based on the analysis of the literature in three dimensions, this paper presents the cross-analysis of the nexus of BIM and smart buildings. Lastly, this paper proposes the critical insights and implications about the research gaps and research trends: (1) enhancing the interoperability of BIM software; (2) further exploring the role of BIM in the operation and refurbishment phase of smart buildings; (3) paying attention to BIM technology in the field of transportation infrastructure; (4) clarifying the economic benefits of BIM projects; and (5) integrating BIM and other technologies.

“…Despite its potential, occlusion issues are unresolved because occluded surfaces turn into voids that usually merge with window and door contours. The works by Hackel, Xue, Adan and Krop [4,[23][24][25] also mention strategies regarding the challenges generated from occlusion in automated or semi-automated building reconstruction from point clouds.…”

This work presents a method for retrieving 3D building contours usable in facade retrofitting projects, which uses a parametric modeling workflow that utilizes a point-cloud slicing method to retrieve such 3D contours. Since current commitments by European governments seek to reduce energy consumption as a means to reduce carbon emissions from building stock by 2050, facade retrofitting appears as an alternative for addressing operational and embedded building emissions. Within such a context, the main contribution of this work consists of a workflow and a 3D reconstruction solution that uses a parametric environment for capturing building topology and bypassing ground-level occlusions. A real case study and a strategy for converting 3D building contours into Industry Foundation Classes entities, directly from the parametric modeling environment, served as a scenario for testing the capabilities of a Grasshopper solution and open new perspectives for this approach.

“…After the rasterization of the edges is complete, the polygon is internally dyed using an intelligent system, called a floodingfill algorithm [31,32]. Unlike the typical seed-filling method [33,34] and others [35][36][37][38], the flooding algorithm can fill the area outside the polygon and backfill the interior point. The flooding algorithm avoids the complex process of finding interior points for polygons.…”

Brick elements are widely used for everything from designing toys to architectural designs. This paper proposes an intelligent method to construct complex 3D brick models automatically. The proposed method is designed based on a set of core algorithms to generate a brick layout in accordance with a given 3D voxel model. In the system, each 3D model is sliced into tiers of flat vector polygons at first. Then, the vector polygons are converted to raster data for each tier. The bricks are built in a single tier until all tiers are completed. The proposed model is validated using two case studies: one is a series of solid sculpture models and the other is a building model. The results show that the proposed intelligent building system successfully builds visual models from brick assembly models. The proposed system can help engineers build large block models to improve the efficiency of constructing complex 3D building models.
