INTEGRATION OF BIM AND LIVE SENSING INFORMATION TO MONITOR BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE

In order to monitor the building energy performance management, it is important to set up real-time connection between live sensor data, Building Information Model (BIM) and other relevant information. This paper presents our research work on developing an Integrated Building Information Service based on the emerging information standards and information service standards from sensing technologies, Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) domain and geo-spatial domain. This extensible Web information service framework can provide live information support for various applications. A demonstration prototype has been developed to show building energy performance in 3D by linking the BIM and live sensor data together in the Centre for Communication Systems Research (CCSR) of the University of Surrey.
