Experiencia docente colaborativa entre universidades. Desarrollo de un modelo 3D BIM = Collaborative educational experience between universities. Development of a 3D BIM model

Resumen Esta investigación recoge actuaciones que, como propuesta de experiencia de innovación docente, se pretenden desarrollar en el curso académico 2017-2018, derivadas del trabajo colaborativo entre los profesores de las Asignaturas “Mediciones y Presupuestos” y “Ejecución de Obras y Gestión Económica”, del Grado en Ingeniería de Edificación de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (España) y “Mediciones y Presupuestos” del Grado en Edificación de la Universidad de Granada (España). Para llevar a cabo la investigación se ha diseñado un proyecto en el que se combinan contenidos y aplicaciones de las asignaturas implicadas a través de metodologías activas asentándose sobre dos aspectos esenciales: el conocimiento por los alumnos de los conceptos fundamentales y el desarrollo de estos a través de la realización de un trabajo común en el que se incluirá la utilización de programas informáticos propios de las disciplinas mencionadas (Synchro Pro, Presto), de uso habitual y extendido en el ámbito profesional a nivel nacional e internacional y de acuerdo a la metodología de trabajo colaborativa BIM (Building Information Modeling). Todo ello permitirá contar con distintas experiencias sobre una misma actuación; además, la incorporación de las herramientas informáticas en el proceso metodológico de las asignaturas obligatorias en los planes de estudios supondrá una mejora indiscutible en el proceso de aprendizaje del estudiante que, a su vez y sobre todo en los últimos cursos, las asumen como algo necesario para su futura actividad profesional. Llevar a cabo estas experiencias también les hará percibir de forma clara la componente de transversalidad y el trabajo en equipo, lo que también es demandado por las empresas del sector.Abstract This paper presents an educational innovation experience proposal, to develop in academic year 2017-2018. This experience includes actions derives from the collaborative work between teachers of "Measurements and Budgets" and "Construction Works and Economic Management", within Degree in Building Engineering of Castilla-La Mancha University (Spain) and "Measurements and Budgets" within Degree in Building of Granada University (Spain). Educational experience should take a teaching system based on student's individual and collective work, using active methodologies regarding with two basic factors: students' knowledge of fundamental concepts and the development of these concepts through a common academic work with specific software, habitual and extended in the national and international professional scope (BIM, SYNCHRO Pro, Presto). The IT tools incorporation in methodological process of the obligatory subjects should lead to an indisputable improvement in the learning process, especially in the last courses, necessary for their future professional activity. The students learn the importance of teamwork and the concept of transversality, which the companies in the sector also request. This way, the student will acquire subjects’ skills and competences, without forgetting the global context of their degree. Interest and need to know, reason and relate will take part of student’s daily activity, favoring later his professional activity.

ResumenEl cambio de paradigma que representa BIM -Building Information Modeling- en el proceso edificatorio implica la necesidad de dominar tanto metodología como herramientas propias. La metodología BIM es/ será también una demanda clave a la que se enfrentan/ enfrentarán los profesionales que desempeñan su labor dentro del amplio panorama laboral que proporciona la titulación de Grado en Ingeniero de Edificación y, en consecuencia, un reto que debería trasladarse ineludiblemente a ámbitos docentes. La Escuela Politécnica de Cuenca -EPCu-, como parte de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha -UCLM-, ha interpretado esta coyuntura como una oportunidad única para repensar no tanto el qué enseñamos en el Grado en Ingeniería de Edificación -GIE- sino el cómo lo hacemos. En este sentido la potencia de la metodología BIM posibilita que pueda acabar vertebrando el plan de estudios y condicionando las estrategias/ metodologías docentes utilizadas. Dentro del programa de implantación BIM de la EPCu se ha priorizado, como primer paso y durante los dos últimos años, una estrategia formativa del profesorado -abierto también al alumnado- y una reconfiguración de equipos/ aplicaciones informáticas/ flujos de trabajo dando prioridad al software libre o educacional. Paralelamente, a menor escala y hasta que sea posible la interconexión de las distintas asignaturas, se ha propiciado la experimentación docente a nivel de asignaturas sin alteración del actual plan de estudios. Este es el caso de Proyectos Técnicos -PPTT-, asignatura de sexto semestre de GIE con un marcado carácter metodológico, donde se viene ensayando desde los dos últimos cursos con la potencia gráfica de las aplicaciones propias del ecosistema BIM como herramientas analíticas útiles a la determinación técnica de las soluciones constructivas.AbstractIM -Building Information Modeling- as a paradigm change in the building process implies the need to master both methodology and tools. BIM methodology is/ will also be a key demanded in the professional world of a Building Engineering and, consequently, a challenge that should inevitably be transferred to teaching areas. The Escuela Politécnica de Cuenca -EPCu-, a part of Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha -UCLM-, interpreted this situation as a unique opportunity to rethink not so much what we teach in the Degree in Engineering of Building -GIE- but how we do it. In this sense we believe that BIM methodology can configure the main teaching strategies/ methodologies used in GIE. As a first step in EPCu's BIM implementation program during the last two years a training strategy for teachers has been prioritized -also open to students- and a reconfiguration of equipment/ computer applications/ workflows giving priority to free or educational software. At the same time, on a smaller scale and until the interconnection of the different subjects is possible, the teaching experimentation has been promoted at individual subjects without alteration of the current educational plan. Proyectos Técnicos -PPTT- is a subject placed in the sixth semester of GIE, with a clear methodological character and for the last two years we are working with the graphic power of the BIM applications as analytical tools for the technical determination of constructive solutions.

Aec Industry

Recent improvements in the AEC industry, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and lean construction and sustainability, require that the design and construction process be approached from a holistic and collaborative manner. From an academic perspective, collaboration also is an important teaching and research component that allows for a well-rounded understanding of the AEC industry. However, very little research has been performed on collaboration in the AEC disciplines, specifically interdisciplinary collaboration. As a starting point, this paper focuses on academic collaboration in journal publications related to sustainability and building performance. The authors provide bibliometric and thematic analyses of three 2018 research publications related to building performance and written by faculty affiliated with construction departments. The main goal of the paper is to provide preliminary findings about which AEC disciplines were included and which themes were prevalent in collaborative publications. Preliminary findings indicated themes related to performance analysis of buildings and / or building components; indoor environmental quality; decision-making and evaluation methods; and life cycle assessment. Results can be used to identify potential areas that are conducive to collaborative work between construction and other AEC disciplines in order to stimulate more interdisciplinary collaboration within AEC research.

Essential Prerequisite

Collaborative work in the construction industry has always been one of the problems solved by BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. The integration of IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) data as a general building information standard is one of the indispensable functions in collaborative work. The most practical approach of merging IFC data depends on GUID (Global Universal Identifier) comparison at present. However, GUID is not stable in current applications and often changes when exported. The intact representation of relationships between IFC entities is an essential prerequisite for proper association of IFC entities in IFC mergence. This paper proposes a graph-based method for IFC data merging. The IFC data are represented as a graphical data structure, which completely preserves the relationship between IFC entities. IFC mergence is accomplished by associating other data with an isomorphic graph that is obtained by mining the IFC graph. The feasibility of the method is proven by a program, and the method can ignore the impacts of GUID and other factors.

Collaborative work in Building Information Modeling (BIM) projects is frequently understood as the interaction of modelers in an asynchronous way through modification requests or via e-mail/telephone. However, alternative work methodologies based on creating a common and synchronous environment allow solving issues instantaneously during the design process. This study aimed to analyze the behavior and performance of BIM users with different specialties who were subjected to an experimental exercise in a collaborative environment. For this purpose, a process was devised to collect, sort, and select the data from the log files generated by the BIM software. A timeline of the experiment was populated with data on the intensity and types of commands used by each specialist, which allowed determining behavioral patterns, preferred commands, indicators of their experience, further training needs, and possible strategies for improving the team’s performance. In the experiment, the mechanical designer’s performance was 49% and the rest approximately 64%, with respect to that of the architect. An average rate of 1.66 necessary or auxiliary commands for each contributory command was detected. The average performance was 200–400 commands per hour, which intensified by the end of the experiment. Further training needs were detected for the plumbing designer to reduce the use of backwards commands. Conversely, the electrical designer showed a positive evolution regarding this aspect during the experiment. The analysis methods here described become useful for the aforementioned purposes. Nevertheless, combinations with methods from existing research might improve the outcomes and therefore the specificity of recommendations.

Estate Property

The implementation of building information modeling (BIM) has become a reality worldwide, not only because of the advantages it offers, but also because of the obligatory nature of its use in construction and civil engineering projects in various countries around the world. An intervention project on an industrial heritage property requires a methodology that considers the condition of the building over time and its value for new use. The advantages of working with a precise 3D model that integrates engineering data in a collaborative work environment makes BIM and heritage BIM (HBIM) very useful tools in a project whose objective is the recovery of an industrial heritage real estate property. This work is part of the academic implementation of BIM in university technical education centers and aims to establish a methodology for shared and collaborative group work in a BIM environment through a Spanish industrial heritage case study of a flour factory dating to 1865. A rigorous historical study and the elaboration of a central BIM model loaded with real content on the industrial complex have allowed the immersion of the students into the BIM methodology, as well as the generation of a value proposition for the exploitation of the factory.

AbstractOntologies have been successfully applied as a semantic enabler of communication between both users and applications in fragmented, heterogeneous multinational business environments. In this paper we discuss the underlying principles, their current implementation status, and most importantly, their applicability to problems in the building information modeling domain. We introduce the development of an ontology for the building and construction sector based on the industry foundation classes. We discuss several approaches of lifting modeling information that is based on the express family of languages for data modeling onto a logically rigid and semantically enhanced ontological level encoded in the W3C Ontology Web Language. We exemplify the added value of such formal notation of building models by providing several examples where generic query and reasoning algorithms can be applied to problems that otherwise have to be manually hard-wired into applications for processing building information. Furthermore, we show how the underlying resource description framework and the set of technologies evolving around it can be tailored to the need of distributed collaborative work in the building and construction industry.

Architectural Survey

Architectural survey methods using terrestrial 3D laser scanning and digital photogrammetry prove capable of registering a building with a level of accuracy far superior to traditional methods, minimizing errors, and reducing fieldwork. Current developments in the construction industry, and new requirements emerging worldwide, have increased the demand for building information modeling (BIM) models as the end product of these surveys. Still, because BIM is a new paradigm, many professionals find the transition challenging, especially when dealing with old and heritage buildings. The new ways of the market demand solutions to optimize processes and make architectural reconstruction from point clouds even more efficient. An online questionnaire survey was carried out with 208 industry professionals working in 78 countries to assess the scope of these demands. As a result, the article presents an overview of current scan-to-BIM practices worldwide with data regarding the architectural survey and BIM modeling derived from point clouds. The implemented survey also identifies in which countries BIM adherence is most accelerated for conventional buildings and for listed buildings and non-listed old buildings, the main benefits and difficulties encountered by professionals, tools and workflows used, and the role of different professionals in collaborative work.
