Dynamic Data Feeding into BIM for Facility Management: A Prototype Application to a University Building

Building information modelling (BIM) has demonstrated its potential as a solution providing support to series of operations related facility management (FM) through building data retrieval, analysis, and processing. However, some challenges the effective adoption BIM-centred FM systems occur in their design implementation, causing obstacles usability. Among these are customization structure for each application case, dynamic character supporting maintenance, range specialities involved, frequently including persons who not BIM experts. This paper presents BIM–FM prototype access updated environmental university building. The two contributions developed ability register types data, namely, regularly acquired sensor sporadic intervention records, automation feeding, updating, retrieval processes, allowing user-friendly environment both experts non-BIM users. Exploring interoperability integration plug-ins, proposed enables comprehensive registration FM-related an model while being accessible all involved operations, enhancing usability integrated maintenance retrieval.
