Early Design Phase

Abstract Early design phase provides the highest potential for saving emissions and energy. Building Information Modeling (BIM) in cooperation with environmental assessment can be efficient tools for various kinds of analysis. This paper shows a possible workflow of using data from BIM in an online form for an early building assessment. Different methods of data export are also described. Czech national methodology, SBToolCZ was used for this study. However, the described principles are applicable for any other commonly used method. Results show approximately 60% of precision compared to the full SBToolCZ assessment (depends on the building typology). As an outcome of the study, a free online tool for architects and public usage is being developed.

Building Information

The application of robotics in construction is hindered by the site environment, which is unstructured and subject to change. At the same time, however, buildings and corresponding sites can be accurately described by Building Information Modeling (BIM). Such a model contains geometric and semantic data about the construction and operation phases of the building and it is already available at the design phase. We propose a method to leverage BIM for simple yet efficient deployment of robotic systems for construction and operation of buildings. With our proposed approach, BIM is used to provide the robot with a priori geometric and semantic information on the environment and to store information on the operation progress. We present two applications that verify the effectiveness of our proposed method. This system represents a step forward towards an easier application of robots in construction.

Early Design Phase

This study discusses how the existing primary and middle school buildings can be adapted to the new needs emerging in the Covid-19 process. The three levels of adaptation are defined as follows: Building envelope-outdoor space relationship, plan layout-function relationship, and furniture relocation. In the scope of this study, five selected school plans were evaluated in the context of flexibility in the plan layout-function relationship. In this study, the concept of “adaptation” is considered as a design approach at the early design phase and/or intervention to respond to a new need in the life cycle of the building.
