Environmental Performance of Buildings: Linking Practical BIM/ICT to Practical Policymaking

摘要

The United States faces large and complex energy challenges due to our changingdegrowth economy, changing population dynamics, uncertain technology funding, immaturePublic-Private Partnerships for Infrastructure, and aging public and private urban infrastructure.Previous energy projection models anticipate that U.S. energy demand will increase by morethan one-third by 2030, with electricity demand alone rising by more than 40 percent. The mainpurpose of this paper is to assess an information system architecture for maintaining buildingrelatedperformance criteria through an Urban BIM-FM model extending the nation’s energyefficiency guidance prototypes with BIM-FM guidance and standards The following researchmethods and techniques will be discussed: i) pre-qualification of existing and new constructionInformation Communication Technology (ICT); advancements with emphasizes directly relatedtowards BIM, ii) identify BIM/ICT energy related investigations (via user cases), and iii)assemble, store (data modeling), and disseminate (object-hyper linking) building andconstruction-related technical data. In conclusion, this paper will assist policymakers in makingdecisions which impact the entire building community and where possible, a united buildingcommunity can influence an appropriate action.
