BIM-based decision support for building condition assessment

Abstract

Building condition assessment requires the integration of various types of data such as building characteristics, the properties of elements/systems and maintenance records. Previous research has focused on identifying these data and developing a building condition risk assessment model based on Bayesian networks (BN). However, due to interoperability issues, the process of transferring the data is performed manually, which requires considerable time and effort. To address this issue, this paper presents a data model to integrate the building condition risk assessment model into BIM. The proposed data model is implemented in existing software as a case study and tested and evaluated on three scenarios. Addressing interoperability will leverage the BIM tool as a data re- pository to automate the data transfer process and improve its consistency and reliability. It will also enable BIM to be a more effective tool for building condition and causality analysis visualization.This work was supported by Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (AGAUR) from Generalitat de Catalunya under Grant 2019 FI_B00064Postprint (published version
