“…Other research efforts are in the area of code compliance checking in the AECO (Architecture Engineering Construction Operation) domain and with the emergence of widely accepted IFC open standards for Building Information Modelling (BIM) data interchange, this has been made possible to resolve (Uhm et al, 2015;C.

The management and the identification of design changes constitute an essential part of the of a design flow within the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, requiring the formalisation of a multi-disciplinary collaborative information modelling environment. Construction projects generate substantial amount of change information, which needs to be updated continuously throughout the process, from initial feasibility study to the decommissioning of facilities. Complications arise from the information storage in multiple incompatible file formats that can lead to the loss or omission of details. In addition to any unexpected changes, the mismanagement of information is another factor leading to delays and costly errors. In order to mitigate such issues, this paper proposes to integrate the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) data model and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to validate and visually identify the result of change requests. The system is developed using C# by 1) integrating angular framework with ASP.NET (Active Server Pages) to create a dynamic single web page and 2). Using X-BIM toolkit that supports IFC format to read, create and visualise the BuildingSmart Data Models (aka IFC Models). This approach enables a web-based platform capable of generating reports and visual previews, highlighting the differences between IFC files throughout the design processes. A web-based system prototype allows users to compare subsequent versions of IFC design models in terms of additions, modifications and deletions. The prototype uses NLP to intelligently identify the changes that have been made as it compares newer and older versions of the same model, making this information available to designers and 3D modellers. Prospective work will focus on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the implementation of changes within the construction models.

“…Also, these rules cannot be represented using a humanreadable external format but have to be implemented using a native data format. Another genre of research approaches is focusing on the development of a Natural Language Processing (NLP) system for an automated extraction of the rule knowledge from flow texts of guidelines such as in (Zhang and El-Gohary 2016a), (Zhang and El-Gohary 2016b) or (Uhm et al 2015). However, these approaches are currently limited, since the representation of complex knowledge, such as geometric constraints or operators, is not possible yet.…”

With Building Information Modeling becoming mature, this technology provides several new possibilities for improving the checking processes of the design planning regarding the applicable codes in the construction industry. Code compliance checks are essential since they standardize the functions a building must fulfill finally. Currently, these controls are cumbersome and errorprone and performed to a large extent manual by the planning consultants as well as authority officers. To enable an automation, the contents of the applicable guidelines have to be translated into a digital format, which can be read, interpreted and applied by machines. Various approaches focused on a textual or hard-coded translation of the guidelines. To increase the involvement of non-programming users, we introduced the Visual Code Checking Language, which uses a visual notation to represent the content of directives machine-as well as human-readable. In the presented paper, the authors present a refinement of the VCCL to increase the coverage rate of the translation capabilities.

“…In order to define circulation evaluation factors, this paper mainly focuses on BIM-enabled circulation related quantities that have been recognized as quantitative and objective grounds for analyzing circulation design [3,5,7,10,11,12,13,16]. The scope of circulation factors is defined referring to previous studies in circulationrelated design aspects from a pedestrian point of view [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24].…”

“…In other words, qualitative factors such as efficient or accessible route have been excluded practically as a target of the BIM-based design evaluation [4,13]. However, large portion of circulation design requirements described in the RFP or design guidelines (except for building regulatory codes) consist of qualitative factors rather than explicitly-defined ones and those factors influence pedestrian circulation quality from various perspectives [13,15]. As motivated by such fundamentals, precedent research [14] discussed design evaluation approach in the BIM environment focusing on qualitative circulation issues.…”

-This paper aims to develop the scenario-based analysis of indoor circulation using BIM-enabled parameterized quantities of a circulation path computed by BIM-enabled applications such as walking distance, spatial topology, number of turns, etc. A building circulation plays an important factor to plan overall spatial configuration based on specific purposes so that it has been one of priorities even in the beginning of the design. As supported by Building Information Modeling (BIM) and its applications, a design review process has been conducted more efficiently and accurately by using computed quantitative circulation-related data, compared to the conventional process performed in manual. However, qualitative factors of building circulation such as efficient route have been excluded practically as a target of the BIM-based design evaluation.As motivated by such fundamentals, precedent research discusses design evaluation approach in a BIM environment focusing on qualitative circulation issues such as 'convenient access to a specific space'. Based on the research, this paper develop the scenario based evaluation framework in terms of a generalization of the evaluation process. Furthermore, the framework is demonstrated using a test model with specific scenario and circulation evaluationpurposed application implemented by the authors.
