Building Management Systems to Revolutionize Building Design and Operations, Slashing Costs and Improving Efficiency.
The article discusses how using Building Information Modelling (BIM) can improve building design and operation by incorporating data from Building Management Systems (BMS). By analyzing energy consumption data, BIM can help identify and fix design issues, leading to better building performance. The researchers developed a framework that connects BMS data to BIM tools, allowing for feedback loops that improve building efficiency. Testing this framework on a school project showed promising results in bridging the gap between design, construction, and operation phases of a building's life-cycle.
