In view of the problems such as the basic properties, usage, and location of prefabricated concrete building components, which are easy to be omitted, missed, and difficult to query in the field management, this study introduces building information modeling (BIM) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to visualize the state information of prefabricated concrete components, such as component type, manufacturer, location, and temperature. In the design stage, a new RFID family can be built in the actual model in order to solve the lack of definition of RFID family through the Industry Foundation Class (IFC) standard, and the databases of BIM and RFID can be connected with C# language, realizing the effective integration of the two engineering technologies. In the application stage, through the secondary development of Revit, the information connection between PC terminal and RFID equipment is completed, and the component data collected by RFID tags are transmitted to the BIM model to realize the integration and visualization of prefabricated component state information. In this study, the traceability of prefabricated components of prefabricated concrete buildings can be improved, providing a basis for quality responsibility tracking in the later period, reducing unnecessary waste of human and material resources and helping to maximize economic benefits.

Identifying, tracking, controlling, and managing facilities and the associated problems are critical tasks in facility management. In addition, the facility maintenance information needs to be constantly updated, which leads to an extra workload for staff using paper and two-dimensional drawings. To overcome these challenges, a system based on building information modeling (BIM) and radio-frequency identification (RFID) is developed for managing and maintaining facilities. The proposed system simultaneously connects the BIM model using industry foundation class (IFC) data structures, the facility maintenance database, and the RFID reader and shows the accessible data through the internet on a handheld screen. This approach provides a general framework for maintenance information management of building facilities. The framework invokes the proposed system to be for preventive maintenance and the reports based on it. The system is implemented in the case study of the building maintenance of a soccer stadium to validate the proposed system and demonstrate the system’s effectiveness for maintenance management.

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.

The article analyses implementation of BIM-M (Building Information Modeling for Masonry) into the BIM (Building Information Modeling) project to ensure the preparation of the masonry project. The BIM-M model consists of a masonry database, a masonry unit model, a masonry unit database model, and masonry unit model definition and BIM masonry wall definition model. The case study proposes a BIM-M model for cavity wall, masonry structures involving project stakeholders and ensuring the exchange of information at the design stage CAD (Computer Aided Design) with the ability to transfer information to other life cycles CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) and CAE (Computer Aided Engineering).

This study describes the data structure in designing and building an AMIK STIEKOM North Sumatra library information system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based on client servers. The author hopes that readers will better understand the problem solving of parking that is more integrated and well-documented and efficient in its operations. The data structure that has been designed is able to identify the number of participants who have been equipped with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) library system technology. Students who borrow or return books are selected through application technology in accordance with student data I recorded in the database. Only data on students / I who are registered in the database can borrow and return books to the AMIK STIEKOM North Sumatra library. The process of selecting data in the library system with RFID technology is carried out in three stages, namely the logical design stage, the physical design stage, and the interface design stage.
