“…From the examined papers, this study found out that 71.05% of the literatures were from the heritage management or conservation field, while 28.95% of them were FM oriented (Figure 6). From the combined field of works of literature, it was discovered that BIM-GIS related topics were discussed the most [33,34,[36][37][38][39][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63] and represented 21.05% of the examined papers. Only one article (1.32%) directly addressed a financial issue of urban heritage facility management [64].…”

“…The effort to integrate the interoperability of BIM and geographic information systems (GIS) could be a breakthrough for urban information modelling (UIM) [37,54,56,62], or even further, urban heritage information modelling (UHIM). Implementation of the 3D modelling through HBIM (historic-BIM) in heritage buildings' interventions made it possible for stakeholders to understand the significance and necessary actions required in the process [36,54,56,63] and made it easier for the facility managers to project and plan ahead for the future maintenance needs [36,63,69,70]. The authorities could create new requirements on permit application of renovating protected buildings by obligating the stakeholder to provide BIM-friendly data of the building to be added to the heritage database as a part of regulatory systems to accelerate the usage of BIMs [54].…”

Urban Heritage Facility Management: A Scoping Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This review examines current discussions from the cross-section study between urban heritage conservation and urban facility management fields in the academic literature from 2011–2020. The purpose is to identify the gaps within the examined papers to reveal the challenges and opportunities in the combined fields using the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s recommendation of the historic urban landscape (HUL) approach. The scoping review procedure was followed. The six critical steps and four supporting tools of the HUL approach were used to analyze the examined papers. Most aspects of urban heritage management within the body of literature were directly related to urban-scale facility management. The potential usage of building information modelling became one of the most discussed technological aspects. The expansion of the public–private partnership model into the public–private–people partnership is considered as a new potential business model. At the same time, the adaptive reuse approach is deemed to be the most sustainable method of managing heritage areas. This scoping review identified the financial tools as the most under-researched urban heritage facility management component. Therefore, it needs to be endorsed among the scientific communities to improve the knowledge and provide operable guidelines for the authorities and practitioners in the urban heritage field.

“…The fragmented nature of information exchange and management during design, construction and through facility management causes an estimated annual loss of $15.8 billion (USD) in the U.S. alone [1]. Efforts focusing on efficient processes and workflows that utilizes BIM continues to be developed to define specific owner needs, capture and transfer life cycle facility data to the owner's computerized maintenance and management systems (CMMS) [2,3]. Yet research still recognizes that there continues to be gaps and challenges to directly link BIM to FM practices and systems used [4,5].…”

Large facility owners are becoming increasingly aware of the value and advantage of utilizing design and build teams to capture and deliver facility asset data necessary to populate their Computerized Maintenance and Management System (CMMS) for efficient operation and maintenance of their facilities. Facility asset data can be delivered using various formats including a spreadsheetbased or a model-based deliverable. In a spreadsheet-based deliverable, asset data are captured and stored using a spreadsheet specifically formatted to allow the end user direct linking of the spreadsheet to the CMMS and automatic upload of the data. In a model-based deliverable, asset data is captured and loaded into a BIM model then transferred directly or indirectly from the model to the CMMS using various data exchange methods. This paper discusses the indirect linking of facility asset data captured in a Revit BIM model to the facility management system through exporting the data to an external database. Dynamo, an open-source script-programming tool that works within the Revit environment, is used to extract and export the data from Revit to an external SQL database in a specific format and organizational structure that would allow for uploading of the data to the CMMS. Dynamo script (e.g. Python script) was used to export certain data parameters in a specific order and format. Exported asset data parameters and values are saved to the SQL database and linked to the CMMS to support operations and maintenance. The paper uses a case study approach to illustrate the implementation of Dynamo to a renovation project for a large academic institution. Asset data for the project is captured from project plans and submittals and loaded into a Revit BIM model. The Dynamo script is tested to verify the export of data in the required format.
