Improve building operation and save energy thanks to BIM and IoT
Initial situation
Building management requires complete and up-to-date data bases that can be presented in a spatial context. By cloud-based networking of 3D building information models (BIM) with asset management databases, building automation systems, IoT sensors as well as geoportals, the BUILDing360.cockpit portal enables cross-location monitoring and optimization of the real estate portfolio. The core of the application is the customer's desire for cross-portfolio information transparency with a "data-at-the-center" approach that clearly regulates data and access sovereignty.
Objectives & Technology
The goal of the project is to develop a cloud-based application at the level of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that demonstrates the benefits and added values of digital building models in the management of a real estate portfolio using two realistic application scenarios. The solution is based on Autodesk Forge, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and ThingDust IoT technologies.
Procedure & Solution
The focus is on the creation of the digital twin of the Innovation Park Central Switzerland based on the BUILDing360 component system, including furnishing, materialization and enrichment of manufacturer data, as well as the creation of the web application with dashboard, IoT integration, model viewer, query and analysis tools. Two scenarios were implemented:
- Using IoT sensors to plan the conversion in the digital twin
- Using IoT sensors to identify and rectify faults in building operations
Learnings & Results
The MVP represents a showcase of a building information system based on a concrete object (IPZ) that can be experienced both digitally and in real life. The application accessible online.
