| HKUST | Building information modeling for energy consumption simulation and analysis | FYP | 06/2013 | TSANG, Po Keung | Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the 3D virtual model of buildings which embedded information to facilitate the knowledge management and share information with different parties such as architecture, engineering and construction (AEC). In the current stage, BIM is commonly used in design communication, structure and design visualization, clash detection, prefabrication, and 4D simulations. With the complex nature of AEC project, these processes engage multiple parties, professionals and diversified software. In order to effectively support the use of information, facility of an accurate exchange of data among different parties and software is the major concern. The Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) of BuildingSMART, which is standard for interchange of the BIM data in the AEC industry and recognized as methods and tools for project deliver during building life cycle. To extend the uses of BIM for energy analysis, this project shows a feasible approach of extending the IFC standard to satisfy the requirements for energy analysis and introduces an information model and proposes IFC extension to enhance computer aids energy analysis throughout the building life cycle. | N.A. |
| HKUST | Mapping of 3D GIS Digital Building Models in CityGML Across Levels of Details (LoD) | Report | 06/2013 | DU Qianru | GIS, a traditional technology used in many fields in the past hundreds years, now develops to a new height. With the fast development of 3D GIS technology, many new data formats established based on this kind of technology. Being a new format, CityGML is mainly used to represent the city models. It is really convenient due to the fact that different levels of detail exist in this kind of model format. Different LoDs have different attributes and used in diverse situations. Now, the models are often built in different LoDs. Therefore, to achieve one model which is in different LoDs, a translator needs to be published. However, until now neither OGC standard nor previous researchers provide an efficient translator for the transformation between different LoDs. Furthermore, the detailed definition for different LoDs was not provided either. Based on these motivations, this project decided to focus on these two goals. The first part of this project focuses on the differences among different LoDs. Based on the differences, a translator is published and its methodology is also shown in the later part of this report. By using the translator established according to the method in this report, a 3D model sample is provided at the end of the report. This project not only provides a tool to realize the translation between different LoDs, but also offers a convenient method for further research. |

| HKUST | A BIM-based system for demolition and renovation waste estimation and planning | Journal | 03/2013 | Cheng, J.C.P., and Ma, L.Y.H. | Due to the rising worldwide awareness of green environment, both government and contractors have to consider effective construction and demolition (C&D) waste management practices. The last two decades have witnessed the growing importance of demolition and renovation (D&R) works and the growing amount of D&R waste disposed to landfills every day, especially in developed cities like Hong Kong. Quantitative waste prediction is crucial for waste management. It can enable contractors to pinpoint critical waste generation processes and to plan waste control strategies. In addition, waste estimation could also facilitate some government waste management policies, such as the waste disposal charging scheme in Hong Kong. Currently, tools that can accurately and conveniently estimate the amount of waste from construction, renovation, and demolition projects are lacking. In the light of this research gap, this paper presents a building information modeling (BIM) based system that we have developed for estimation and planning of D&R waste. BIM allows multi-disciplinary information to be superimposed within one digital building model. Our system can extract material and volume information through the BIM model and integrate the information for detailed waste estimation and planning. Waste recycling and reuse are also considered in our system. Extracted material information can be provided to recyclers before demolition or renovation to make recycling stage more cooperative and more efficient. Pick-up truck requirements and waste disposal charging fee for different waste facilities will also be predicted through our system. The results could provide alerts to contractors ahead of time at project planning stage. This paper also presents an example scenario with a 47-floor residential building in Hong Kong to demonstrate our D&R waste estimation and planning system. As the BIM technology has been increasingly adopted in the architectural, engineering and construction industry and digital building information models will likely to be available for most buildings (including historical buildings) in the future, our system can be used in various demolition and renovation projects and be extended to facilitate project control. |
