Abstract:

In order to maintain a reliable facility management (FM) service for a commercial office building, a facility personnel and the building owners make a decision with detailed-level building Operation and Maintenance (O&M) data. By analyzing the data, they can make decisions in terms of whether to and/or where to invest money for maintaining better conditions of the buildings. Conventionally, the facility personnel collect O&M data in a manual manner and organize them in a paper document format. In this format, most of O&M data are intertwined and mingled up so that both FM personnel and building owner fail to capture significant information for reliable O&M performance. More often than not the building owners have difficulty in understanding the building’s O&M performance through the bundled data. According to the FM personnel’s work process and building owner’s decision making process, location data are employed as a starting point to O&M work and O&M performance confirmation respectively. Despite of the significant role of location data, no systematic framework based on the location data has been developed. For the purpose of facilitating both the owner and facility manager's better decision making, the authors develop a system framework for 3D/BIM-based facility information management. The 3D/BIM has an advantage on storing and outputting the location data. Using the system framework, the FM personnel and building owner obtain effective information management platform based on location data. In addition, the research can contribute to the foundation for a development of a BIM-driven facility management system.
