Digital building representations enable and promote new forms of simulation, automation,
and information sharing. However, creating and maintaining these representations is …

Facility operations and maintenance are defined as the functions, duties, and labor required
daily to operate and preserve a facility asset to ensure its original function is available for its …

This work presents a fully automated methodology that, in a first step, is able to reliably
extract and delineate the position and geometry of the rails from three-dimensional (3D) …

When updating digital models of existing buildings, changes in the built environment are
detected by comparing outdated BIMs with captured point clouds representing current …

BIM models are transforming the way buildings or, in more general terms, facilities or
infrastructures are conceived, designed, constructed and managed. But current use of BIM …

Facility management (FM) has received extensive attention from practitioners and

Conventional project delivery in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry is
plagued by: cost over-runs, delayed delivery, and poor quality control. Integrated Project …

Lack of interoperability has been identified as an obstacle to collaboration in BIM (Building
Information Modeling). This paper reviews the practical context in which interoperability …

Discrete architecture is recognized as a computational design approach which uses
computation to generate algorithmically combinable aggregations. It is therefore a promising …

Reducing costs, improving quality, shortening the time-to-market, and at the same time act
and think sustainable are major challenges for manufacturing industries. To strive towards …
