Abstract

Purpose Despite the technological paradigm shift presented to the architecture, engineering, construction and operations sector (AECO), the full-fledged acceptance of the building information modelling (BIM) methodology has been slower than initially anticipated. Indeed, this study aims to acknowledge the need for increasing supportive technologies enabling the use of BIM, attending to available human resources, their requirements and their tasks. Design/methodology/approach A complete case study is described, including the development process centred on design science research methodology followed by the usability assessment procedure validated by construction projects facility management operational staff. Findings Results show that participants could interact with BIM using openBIM processes and file formats naturally, as most participants reached an efficiency level close to that expected for users already familiar with the interface (i.e. high-efficiency values). These results are consistent with the reported perceived satisfaction and analysis of participants’ discourses through 62 semi-structured interviews. Originality/value The contributions of the present study are twofold: a proposal for a virtual reality openBIM framework is presented, particularly for the semantic enrichment of BIM models, and a methodology for evaluating the usability of this type of system in the AECO sector.
开发和验证使用开放格式的BIM模型语义丰富的自然用户界面
尽管建筑、工程、施工和运营部门(AECO)的技术范式发生了转变,但建筑信息模型(BIM)方法的全面接受速度比最初预期的要慢。事实上,这项研究的目的是承认需要增加支持技术,使BIM的使用,关注可用的人力资源,他们的需求和他们的任务。设计/方法/方法描述了一个完整的案例研究,包括以设计科学研究方法为中心的开发过程,然后是由建筑项目设施管理运营人员验证的可用性评估程序。结果表明,参与者可以自然地使用openBIM流程和文件格式与BIM进行交互,因为大多数参与者的效率水平接近已经熟悉界面的用户所期望的水平(即高效率值)。这些结果与报告的感知满意度和通过62个半结构化访谈对参与者话语的分析一致。本研究的贡献是双重的:提出了一个虚拟现实开放BIM框架的建议,特别是对于BIM模型的语义丰富,以及评估这种类型的系统在AECO部门的可用性的方法。
