Implementation of Cloud BIM-based Platform Towards High-performance Building Services

In this research effort, we aim to develop an advanced integrated platform between FM, BIM, BMS, and front-end sensor data visualization. We first assessed of the status quo, conceptual design of the platform components and configuration, and identified the LoD. Subsequently, the BMS and environmental sensing information were incorporated into the BIM-based platform. Such information categories include the building geometry, indoor air quality, energy generation and consumption. This integrated BIM-based platform is exemplified in one existing low-rise zero energy office building in Tropics as a demonstration and pilot study. In this research effort, the platform to link different types of building information system and the visualization of front-end data in the phase of building operation and maintenance was developed. Also, the implementation process of this BIM-based platform together with a user-friendly dashboard for ease of O&M was demonstrated. The research results are expected to serve as the solid basis towards larger scale and comprehensive platform development.
