We were having a conversation about how many people think the spreadsheet tables of #COBie are too complicated. Many people think it should all be populated from an application, but the reality is that just does not happen. You probably have the skeleton data come from an application, but the rest is getting data from a base…
The developments of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning over the past decades has accelerated but is often elevated by its reporting as something malevolent, not far off 2001’s Hal 9000 or Terminators Sky Net. It’s easy to see why people run scared when we look back over the last 2 decades. In 2006 Clive Humby…
When I did a search looking for articles and research on talking to buildings it was not the conversation AI, data science, social discord I found. Instead it was more about the abstract language of how a building talks to us through its emotional impact. The atmosphere of a cathedral or sports stadium the home…
Introduction Would the design and construction process benefit from generating the Building Owners manual / Operations and Maintenance Manuals using the building asset data? If this is possible then would it also work for the Building Log book, Health and Safety file? Please don’t think this is a magic bullet the axiom “rubbish in rubbish…
Inspired by Issac Azimovs 3 laws of robotics I have engineered my own 3 guiding laws to ensure Asset Information Models (AIM) are assembled coherently for this age “the internet of BIM” where data is at the centre. AIM is orientated around the built environment and an AIM may contain all the data for physical…
In the Asset Information Model we can import COBie data. This does not have to be a single dataset of the whole building because the COBie work flow was designed so that different parties could contribute data to the AIM without having to go through a modeling application. In a design model the product suppliers and…
