The purpose of this paper is to define appropriate Level of Development (LOD) for different FM areas in order to enable FM-BIM for existing buildings during O&M phase. To do so, the customized LOD have been defined by existing literature review and facility experts. Then the required properties for each FM areas are implemented in two case studies. Conclusion demonstrated that more than 60 percent of properties defined as LOD500 are unnecessary to execute FM tasks. Besides, the elements which required more properties are related to the categories of Services including Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) and fire systems and they need specific LOD to leverage BIM in O&M phase.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"10 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116443477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Massive amounts of BIM researches have been published in academic journals, books and conference proceedings. However, more than half of the published researches are not cited, and some researches with similar questions and outputs are published. In this research, the Linked Data paradigm is utilized with ontologies to provide a structured database of the different articles of BIM and mapped to different BIM aspects in a semantically meaningful format. The proposed ontologies and Linked Data can accelerate and enhance systematic reviews and metadata analysis for future BIM studies. Also, it can assist young researchers to define the gaps that need to be filled in BIM studies and avoid repetitive researches.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129744734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data mining allows users to obtain such insights from the large datasets generated throughout the building life cycle. Furthermore, semantic web technologies allow to formally represent the built environment and retrieve knowledge in response to domain-specific requirements. Both approaches have independently established themselves as powerful aids in decision-making. Combining them can enrich data mining processes with domain knowledge and facilitate knowledge discovery, representation and reuse. In this article, we look into the available data mining techniques and investigate to what extent they can be fused with semantic web technologies to provide recommendations to the end user in performance-oriented design. We demonstrate an initial implementation of a linked data-based system for generation of recommendations.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129969809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Asset data can contribute to improving the value of an asset in its life-time, a citizens’ quality of life, and economic growth. Asset data is key for smart infrastructure management. Process and technology advancements enable the transformation of physical infrastructure into a smart infrastructure (digitally represented by digital twin) which may store the historical and real-time status of a physical counterpart.

While some building code clauses are straightforward, requiring direct checking of parameter values, others depend on the topological relationships among objects, making automated checking of BIM models more challenging. Moreover, existing applications require the user to extensively preprocess the model in preparation for checking. We propose applying semantic enrichment for pre-processing the BIM models. The goal of a semantic enrichment process in support of automated code compliance checking is to derive the needed clause test values automatically and to represent them explicitly. A successful semantic enrichment process can therefore widen the scope of requirements that can be checked automatically. This work demonstrates such a process for checking code clauses involving topologically complex requirements. Although semantic enrichment proved to be successful for several purposes in previous research, dealing with complex topologies involves different types of semantic enrichment tasks. We explore the subject through a test case of requirements from the Israeli code for security rooms.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133910227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the scope of this research , an approach for supporting and automating such a process by utilizing concepts developed in the field of machine learning was developed. This paper focuses on the interpretation of technical drawings in terms of detecting and classifying plan symbols as this is a time intensive and error prone process when done manually. It is described how the capabilities of Convolutional Neural Networks are employed in analyzing images to automatically detect important plan symbols in the ?eld of Train Traffic Control and Supervision Systems and how those networks are trained without the need for a time consuming-manual labeling process.","PeriodicalId":126601,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 European Conference on Computing in Construction","volume":"516 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123083769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several information exchange specifications such as COBie and SPARKie have been developed to enable effective interoperability for better building assets operation and maintenance. Due to asset heterogeneity, the exchange models cannot be generalised and applied to all assets systems. Exchange models need to be developed for particular asset systems based on their functionality and building type.

By application of the BIM method a Building Information Model, which contains all the needed information in one database is generated. BIM is a method for achieving targets, such as selecting the right type of construction technology or building material to evaluate the adaptation measure. The challenges by putting all information in one model are dealing with the amounts of data, identifying data quality and determining the current use case which should be examined. In this publication, the necessary data base is identified and implemented into a Building Information Model to investigate the right fastening system for an Industry 4.0 case study.
