“…We will propose to create a process-model that is as simple as possible, resulting in a product model. The work presented builds on the initial ideas of Turk et al (2019). The approach will adopt the idea of structured information based on standard building blocks from the BIM approach, drawing from the experience of the Horizon 2020 Intelligent Services for Energy-Efficient Design and Life Cycle Simulation (ISES) project (Katranuschkov et al 2015), however, focusing on the parsimonious nature of information -as simple as possible -from the tradition of design communication in engineering and construction.…”

Building information modelling (BIM) technology has been focusing on the creation, sharing and use of a comprehensive digital twin of the facility under construction or renovation. It is believed that a more comprehensive, structured and complete model would be better. The aim of this paper and the underlying research is to reaffirm the view that the essence of information is to inform the user and that the main purpose of information models is that they are informative – that they contain the necessary information. Parsimonious information is information that is necessary but as simple as possible. Our hypothesis is that in many cases simpler models could be more useful, as they do not introduce technological barriers with the usually involved low- and medium-level contractors. One such case is the energy retrofitting of existing buildings. Many public and residential buildings with poor energy performance are located all over the world, especially in Eastern and Central Europe, as well as in China. They are an efficient target for a significant improvement in their energy performance by improving the building envelope and openings. The paper presents an economical process model for the modernisation of existing buildings. This model provides a basis for a parsimonious product model, which is currently under development. The broader objective of the research presented is to examine cases where a heavy information model may not be necessary and where a detailed process definition – as described in the BIM implementation plan and related documents – would lead to over-specification that would limit the free dynamics of a workflow.

“…In the building sector, widespread use of energy efficient building design approach and renewable energy resource use is one of the most important issues. Unlike cars or electrical appliances -where the next generation can be more energy efficient than the previous one-buildings have decades of life [2]. For this purpose, the energy analysis process is being included in the design process with increasing regulations in the world.…”

Digital Project Management - Strategic Theory and Practice [Working Title]

The digital ICT revolution, with the new applications BIM, DT and AI package tools, reaches the organizational processes after the design and technology processes. That is, the management of business systems with complex processes is essential for ongoing projects to improve economic principles as components of the business system. With the advent of ISO standardization, companies are standardizing business communication flows to improve processes and facilitate the work of managers during idle periods. However, it has been found that the transition from the previous manual static technology to software does not bring about a significant change in business performance. Therefore, the recommendation is to change the model of the organizational structure with mathematical modeling to a dynamic vector organization, which is upgraded to a process system as a by-product of the computerization of the project production economy. By adding the matrix structure of the project organization and the function in addition to the process, a fourth resource dimension is added. This results in an nD vector organization system that enables a “daily monitoring” system, i.e., daily management of the business system. But even this method of ICT technology proves to be insufficient in the old costing or tendering system. Therefore, for mathematical modeling, the dynamic structure programming (DSP) method is proposed, which creates a model standardization of the bill of quantities, bid constructions, and standards as elements of the project. Križaić’s DSP method is a logical induction equation that, in cooperation with vector norms and a modified Gaussian S-curve equation (MGSC), creates a digital twin (DT) for a business system for monitoring project resources. With the upgrade to BIM and DT tools, it is possible to close the loop of the business system and create an AI system for project management, which in turn creates an intelligent manager and an organizational differential (OD).
