The construction industry is undergoing a digital revolution due to the emergence of new technologies. A significant trend is that construction projects have been transformed and upgraded to the digital and smart mode in the whole life cycle. As a critical technology for the construction industry’s innovative development, building information modeling (BIM) is widely adopted in building design, construction, and operation. BIM has gained much interest in the research field of smart buildings in recent years. However, the dimensions of BIM and smart building applications have not been explored thoroughly so far. With an in-depth review of related journal articles published from 1996 to July 2020 on the BIM applications for smart buildings, this paper provides a comprehensive understanding and critical thinking about the nexus of BIM and smart buildings. This paper proposes a framework with three dimensions for the nexus of BIM application in smart buildings, including BIM attributes, project phases, and smart attributes. According to the three dimensions, this paper elaborates on (1) the advantages of BIM for achieving various smartness; (2) applications of BIM in multiple phases of smart buildings; and (3) smart building functions that be achieved with BIM. Based on the analysis of the literature in three dimensions, this paper presents the cross-analysis of the nexus of BIM and smart buildings. Lastly, this paper proposes the critical insights and implications about the research gaps and research trends: (1) enhancing the interoperability of BIM software; (2) further exploring the role of BIM in the operation and refurbishment phase of smart buildings; (3) paying attention to BIM technology in the field of transportation infrastructure; (4) clarifying the economic benefits of BIM projects; and (5) integrating BIM and other technologies.

Existing homes for senior population may not be safe because many injuries occur due to poor accessibility and design compatibility. Thus, Universal Design (UD) becomes more relevant, especially if it incorporates the principles of sustainability. Yet, adopting houses of this type requires detailed evaluation of their costs and benefits in a simple and efficient manner. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) concept enables engineers to design and create virtual models permitting the visualization and evaluation of design alternatives before physical construction. The tools used to create BIM models lack detail information about UD principles. This paper presents a methodology that integrates BIM, UD and sustainability to attain sustainable universal houses for Canadians. The goal of this model is to simplify the process of creating sustainable universal houses in 3D and to evaluate the costs and benefits to stakeholders at the conceptual stage of the life of the houses.

Design And Construction

With inappropriate design or construction, the functions and service life of buildings begin to decline from the day of official use until they are demolished and resulting in extremely high cumulative cost throughout the building life cycle (BLC). However, the development of building information modeling (BIM) provides a solution for short BLCs and massive cumulative cost caused by errors occurring during the building design and construction phases. BIM is an innovative technique applicable to building design and construction management that has been vigorously developed in the construction industry. The development of BIM technology is now a global trend that can not be ignored, similar to 2D CAD before. BIM can be further developed into several aspects and applied during the construction phase, most important of all, enhance the overall building functionality and save operating cost throughout the BLC.

Professional Assessment

The most progress in the area of the sustainable building policy and its implementation has been achieved in certain regions by the Building Certification System regulations such as Passivhaus (Germany) and LEED (U.S). These solutions are similar to the more widely discussed and already applied concepts: the Integrated Whole Building Design (IWBD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Although it may sound trivial, it is vital to acknowledge and understand that a building is an integral component of the land lot. In the stage of development of a building concept, it usually lacks a versatile and professional assessment of available resources, especially those of renewable energy. It is suggested at the beginning of the IWBD concept to conduct such assessment on the resources available and more specifically focusing on renewable energy. The assessment should also meet the expectations of the building’s owner to use effectively the potential of all possible solutions. Thus a certificate is drawn up, defining all the resources available for the particular lot. The structure of the certificate data is orientated towards the possibility of designing modern renewable energy technologies, according to their performance under changing weather conditions during the year. Such assessment certificates contribute to shaping the concept of the building and allow achieving the highest level of its sustainability. Article in Lithuanian.

Juos atitinka vis plačiau diskutuojamos ir jau taikomos viso pastato integruoto projektavimo (VPIP/IWBD, Integrated Whole Building Design – angl.) ir pastato informacinio modeliavimo (PIM/BIM, Building Information Modeling – angl.) koncepcijos. Nors tai skamba trivialiai, bet pastatas yra neatsiejamas nuo sklypo: t. y. stokoja savalaikio, įvairiapusiško ir profesionalaus sklype disponuojamų išteklių, ypač atsinaujinančios energijos, įvertinimo. Pirmame VPIP etape, kuris baigiasi projekto koncepcijos sukūrimu, siūloma atlikti sklypo disponuojamų išteklių, visų pirma atsinaujinančios energijos, pastato savininko lūkesčius atitinkančių jų naudojimo galimybių įvertinimą. Tam parengiamas sklypo disponuojamų išteklių sertifikatas. Jo duomenų struktūra orientuota į galimybę projektuoti šiuolaikines atsinaujinančios energijos technologijas, atsižvelgiant į jų veikimą per metus besikeičiant klimato sąlygoms. Tokie vertinimai padėtų kuriant pastato koncepciją ir leistų pasiekti aukštesnio lygio darnos. Po kelių metų su taip projektuojamais pastatais galima prieiti prie kitokio pastato koncepcijos, sprendinių, išvaizdos ir vertės supratimo.

There is increasing need to apply building information modeling (BIM) to low energy buildings, this includes building energy modeling (BEM). If a building energy model can be flawlessly generated from a BIM model, the energy simulation process can be better integrated within the design, can be more competent, and timesaving. However, concerns about both the reliability and integrity of the data transfer process and the interoperability between the BIM and BEM prevent any implementation of BIM-based energy modeling on a large scale. This study addresses the accuracy and integrity of BIM-based energy modeling by investigating how well Autodesk's Revit (BIM), in conjunction with two of the most used energy modeling programs (BEM) known as DesignBuilder and Virtual Environment (IES-ve), were integrated in terms of interoperability, including location and weather files, geometry, construction and materials, thermal zones, occupancy operating schedules, and HVAC systems. All misrepresented data during the interoperability process were identified, followed by benchmarking between the BIM-based energy modeling simulation outcomes and the actual energy consumption of the case study, to assess the reliability of the process. The investigation has revealed a number of interoperability issues regarding the BIM data input and BEM data interpretation. Overall, BIM-based energy modeling proved to be a promising tool for sustainable and low energy building design, however, the BIM to BEM process is a non-standardized method of producing building energy models as it varies from one modeler to another, and the BIM to BEM process. All these might slow down any possible application for the process and might cause some uncertainties for the professionals in the field applying it.

The strength of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in achieving sustainable buildings is well recognized by the global construction industry. However, current understanding of the state-of-the-art green BIM research is still limited. In particular, a focus study on how BIM contribute to green building design through building performance analysis (BPA) is not available. This paper aims to provide systematic and comprehensive insights on current trends and future potentials of green BIM research by analyzing the existing literature with their research features (i.e. research backgrounds, goals, methods and outputs). In total, 80 publications have been collected, analyzed and discussed. The results show that among ten main BPA types, energy & thermal analysis, green building rating analysis, and cost and benefit analysis are the most studied. However, wind & ventilation analysis, acoustic analysis, and water efficiency analysis receive little attention. Moreover, more research focusing on integrated design analysis should be carried out for optimal design outcome. In addition, most of the collected literature research on the capability of data integration and analysis of green BIM tools, while their capability of visualization and documentation has limited examination. Furthermore, most researchers utilized one main software package while utilization of information exchange formats (IEF) is limited. To increase interoperability of green BIM tools, how different BIM authoring tools and IEFs can be utilized for BPA requires further investigation.

The issue of time and cost consuming activities such as rework, conflicts, and overlapping has received considerable critical attention by construction industry. Using benefits of lean thinking has a significant impact on the construction processes in order to achieve perfection at the whole building life cycle. The Lean construction methodology is an increasingly important area for the construction industry due to its effect on cost and value. However, the Lean construction methodology is not implemented by the construction industry professionals due to the complexity of methodology, change requirements in company organization, lack of guides for the process, etc. This study provides a comprehensive framework that focuses on defining processes which enables lean methodology implementation by demonstrating the whole building lifecycle. It will provide a broad explanation for the characteristics of each level and logical relationships between concepts. The levels of the maturity framework such as; Level 0 Traditional Construction, Level 1 Lean Construction, Level 2 Lean Construction, and Value Engineering, Level 3 Lean Construction, value engineering, and building information modeling, and Level 4 Lean Construction, value engineering, building information modeling, and data analytics were identified with a comprehensive literature review and comprehended. The findings of the study will be helpful to increase comprehensibility and implementation of lean concept.
