Abstract

In the context of HVAC equipment, 5D BIM platform can support not only the optimization of spatial solutions (clearance, mounting, arrangement) but embed technical information such as efficiency, outputs, warranties, service and maintenance requirements, etc. Through an extensive research on HVAC design parameters, operation and maintenance requirements, and relevant legislation and standards, the key attributes required for 5D BIM software products were identified and a data-collection framework was developed. In order to assist stakeholders to define characteristics of a product, analyze operational performance specifications and financial risks, and to identify the required conditions, services, and equipment at any stage of a development, developed data templates reflect the information need in product selection, replacement, procurement, installment, maintenance and decommissioning processes in a typical development project. Data attributes were categorized within four main categories: Legislation & Regulations; Performance; Environment & Sustainability and Financial Cost. Each of the attributes was in turn associated with the following utilization categories: definition, analysis and coordination. The developed framework insures that databases contain attributes playing a key role in the decision-making process compatible with current and emerging industry standards.
