Digitalization has become something of a buzzword in today's society and rightly so as it brings multiple benefits and opportunities. The AEC/FM industry has constantly lagged behind other industries in terms of change and development and is often regarded as conservative. Strongly associated with digitalization in construction are the concepts of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), which partly include technology and models for integrated and model-based approaches to, for example, reduce fragmentation between project members who traditionally work independently of one another. In research, it is revealed that there are large gains with a successful implementation of BIM/VDC in projects and this is something that many companies in the industry are working with and seeking to develop. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how the project team members have worked and how the working methods are perceived by them in a well-known construction project in Sweden, where they have taken a step further in digitalizing construction by building after a legally binding digital model instead of the traditional paper drawings. The subject is explored with a qualitative method, in the form of a case study, where a scientific literature study, interview study, and observations together form the basis of the study and these parts act as a basis for the discussion. The literature study covers previous research as well as concepts relevant for answering formulated research questions and concepts that emerged during the interview study that are important to understand for a qualitative discussion and, consequently, qualitative conclusions. In the interview study, 13 respondents were interviewed in so-called semi-structured interviews and all of them were involved in the case project. The findings indicate that the BIM-model can contribute to better communication, higher resource efficiency, better quality and, at the same time for a lower total cost of the project. Identified perceptions in designing a BIM-model and then building after the model instead of 2D drawings are predominantly positive. While advantages and opportunities are demonstrated by this way of working, new challenges and risks arise. This entails legal risks, technical risks and management risks. There are new types of errors that arise with a more detailed design. / Digitalisering har blivit något av ett modeord inom dagens samhälle och det med all rätt då det medför sina fördelar och möjligheter. Bygg- och fastighetsbranschen har ständigt släpat efter övriga industrier vad gäller förändring och utveckling och ses därefter ofta som konservativ. Starkt associerat med digitalisering inom bygg är koncepten Building Information Modeling (BIM) och Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) som dels innefattar teknologi och modeller för integrerade och modellbaserade arbetssätt. De används exempelvis för att minska fragmentering mellan projektmedlemmar som vanligen enbart fokuserar på sina egna teknikområden. Inom forskningsvärlden sägs det finnas stora vinningar med en lyckad implementering av BIM/VDC i projekt och det är något som många företag inom branschen arbetar med och söker utveckla. Samtidigt anger forskningen också att det finns stora utmaningar och att man ännu inte kommit så långt med digitaliseringen. Syftet med detta examensarbete är bland annat att undersöka hur projektmedlemmar har arbetat och hur arbetssätten har upplevts i ett av få välkända byggprojekt i Sverige där man tagit ett steg längre i att digitalisera byggandet genom att bygga efter en digital modell som juridisk bygghandling istället för de traditionella pappersritningarna. Ämnet utforskas kvalitativt, i form av en fallstudie, där en vetenskaplig litteraturstudie, intervjustudie samt observationer tillsammans utgör grunden för arbetet och som alla agerar underlag för analysdelen. Litteraturstudien täcker tidigare studier på området för att beskriva kunskapsläget samt koncept som är relevanta för att besvara formulerade frågeställningar samt begrepp som dykt upp under intervjustudien som är viktiga att förstå för en kvalitativ diskussion och följaktligen likaså kvalitativa slutsatser. I intervjustudien har 13 respondenter intervjuats i så kallade semi-strukturerade intervjuer och som alla varit inblandade i det undersökta projektet. Resultatet tyder på att BIM-modellen kan bidra till en bättre kommunikation, högre resurseffektivitet, bättre kvalitet och samtidigt till en lägre totalkostnad av projektet. Identifierade upplevelser med att projektera en BIM-modell och att därefter bygga efter modellen istället för 2Dritningar är till övervägande del positiva. Samtidigt som fördelar och möjligheter påvisas med detta arbetssätt så uppkommer nya utmaningar och risker. Det medför juridiska risker, tekniska risker och hanteringsrisker. Det är exempelvis nya typer av fel som uppkommer med en mer detaljerad projektering.

The design and construction of high-performance buildings have emerged as a preferred solution for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. However, sometimes there is a considerable gap between the design performance and the actual performance of the buildings. Post Occupancy Evaluations (POE) provide tools to quantify the performance relative to the occupant's health, well-being, and comfort. POE is getting widely accepted to obtain feedback for various parameters such as water, energy, indoor environmental quality, and occupant comfort. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) can be derived based on the obtained feedback to determine the performance gaps. POE has evolved to be a robust scientific methodology; however, traditional methods of conducting POE have been proven time-consuming, inconsistent, and inefficient. This research aims to conceptualize the next generation of post occupancy evaluations that leverages cutting-edge technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of Things based sensors (IoT), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and digital twins. The key contributions of this research are presented in a series of manuscripts. In the first paper, the gaps in the existing POE were determined by conducting a thorough literature review. The observed gaps were classified in data collection, analysis, and visualization categories. Broader POE definition, spot measurements of parameters, and 2D plans and charts for visualization made the existing POE procedure time-consuming. Using digital twins that combine the geometric and parametric data from BIM models and built-environment data from GIS and sensor measurements were recommended as potential solutions to address the observed gaps. The second paper explored the application of BIM-IoT-GIS integration to conduct POE. Use case scenarios were developed to derive system requirements to host the BIM-IoT-GIS-integrated POE. Four sequential tests were conducted to integrate a BIM model from Revit and sensors' data from Excel with ArcGIS pro that contained the surrounding environment data. Based on lessons learned from the tests, an optimized workflow was recommended that can be used across a variety of projects. The third paper used the BIM-IoT-GIS-integration concept to create a holistic proof of concept for digital-twin-enabled POE. The proof of concept was validated by conducting a digital-twin-based POE on the STTC building on the Red River College campus in Winnipeg. The indoor thermal comfort was visualized within the STTC digital twin developed in ArcGIS Pro. The preliminary energy consumption analysis concluded that the STTC buildings' average energy savings were approximately 70,000 KWH/year. The potential users for digital-twin-enabled POE were presented with a comparison of iv existing POE and digital-twin-based POE over a survey and a focus group discussion. Based on opinion-based feedback, the conclusion can be made that digital twins improve the overall efficiency of POE. The fourth paper recommended the digital-twin-enabled POE procedure for UVic's engineering expansion project. It established the semantics for POE, followed by a digital twin execution plan that can be used for developing a digital twin during each phase (from planning to operations) of the project. Furthermore, the benefits of the digital-twin-enabled POE procedure were demonstrated by comparison with the existing POE procedure relative to the project phases. This study concluded that conducting the POE on the UVic ECS expansion project will enable the researchers to determine the effectiveness of sustainable features by comparing the performance of existing and proposed facilities. In conclusion, BIM-IoT-GIS-integrated digital twins address the limitations of data collection, analysis, and visualization. These digital twins will enable multi-objective analysis and spatial-temporal visualization and provide deeper insights into the way these high-performance buildings function. / Graduate / 2023-05-24

Inom byggbranschen är förseningar i byggprojekts leveranser vanligt förekommande och utgör ett utmanande problem. För att övervinna detta problem krävs en utvecklad och noggranna tidsplaner som följs av alla berörda parter. I dagsläget använder sig byggindustrin huvudsakligen av aktivitetsbaserade tidsplaner, som representeras av Critical Path Method (CPM) och dess Gantt-schema. Trots att en annan tidsplaneringsmetod, baserad på lokalitet, visar lovande potential för att effektivt hantera förseningar i leveranser, har den inte fått samma uppmärksamhet. Line of Balance (LOB) är en metod inom location-based scheduling (LBS), där platsen behandlas som en dimension i produktionsprocessen och den har visat sig vara effektivare alternativ än Gantt-schema. I stället för att endast fokusera på aktiviteter fördelar LOB-metoden aktiviteter på lokaliteter där de ska genomföras, vilket underlättar för alla parter att följa en tydlig plan och övervaka arbeten på ett enklare sätt. BIM-verktyg har visat sig vara effektiva för att förbättra och effektivisera LOB-tidsplaner genom att tillhandahålla specialiserade verktyg som underlättar skapandet av sådana tidsplaner. CPM-metoden utgör grunden för många programvaror som används för att skapa LOB-tidsplaner såsom programmet Vico Office. Dessutom kan användning av BIM-verktyg möjliggör tillämpning av Lean-tänkande som bidrar till att förbättra arbetsflöden och öka kvalitet. Detta arbete undersöker hur tidsplaner påverkas vid övergången från aktivitetsbaserade- till lokalitetsbaserade tidsplaner, med hjälp av BIM-verktyget Vico Office. Vidare undersöks hur tillämpningen av Lean-principer såsom ”Visual Management” och ”Reduced Batch Size” påverkar lokalitetsbaserade tidsplaner. Gantt-schemat som analyserades i detta arbete är specifikt för byggföretaget NCC och omfattar utförandet av Hus A, Hus B och en förskola. Dock var endast detaljerad information om aktiviteterna som ingår i Hus A tillgängliga. För att konvertera Gantt-schemat till en lokalitetsbaserad tidsplan användes aktiviteternas varaktighet och lokaliteter från Gantt-schemat. För aktiviteter som saknade lokaliteter användes logiskt tänkande och erfarenhet för att fördela dem i lämpliga lokaliteter. Dessutom användes byggritningar som tillhandahölls av Karlstads kommunen för att tillämpa Lean-principen ”Reduced Batch Size”. LOB-diagrammet som genereras av Vico:s Schedule Planner är i enlighet med Lean-principen ”Visual Management”. Det har visat en förbättrad förmåga att upptäcka tomma områden, kollisioner och diskontinuerliga aktiviteter jämfört med Gantt-scheman. Dessutom användes Lean-principen ”Reduced Batch Size” för att minska väntetiderna mellan arbetsgrupper. Trots att byggprojektets ledtid överskreds med två veckor, resulterade konverteringen i en lokalitetsbaserad tidsplan som främjade ett kontinuerligt arbetsflöde, en effektivare arbetsrytm och en förbättrad uppföljning av byggprocessen. / In the construction industry, delays in project deliveries are a common occurrence. In order to overcome this problem, a developed and accurate schedule is required which is followed by all parties concerned. Currently, traditional activity-based Gantt charts are primarily used. However, another scheduling method based on location shows promising potential for effectively managing delivery delays but has not received the same attention. Line of Balance (LOB) is a method within location-based scheduling (LBS), where the location is treated as a dimension in the production process, and it has proven to be a more efficient alternative than the Gantt chart. BIM tools, such as Vico Office, have proven effective in improving and streamlining LOB schedules by providing specialized tools that facilitate the creation of such schedules. Additionally, the use of BIM tools can facilitate the application of Lean thinking, which helps improve workflows. This study investigates how schedules are affected by the transition from activity-based to location-based schedules using the BIM tool Vico Office. Furthermore, it examines how the application of Lean principles such as “Visual Management” and “Reduced Batch Size” affect location-based schedules. The Gantt chart analysed in this study belongs to the construction company NCC and contains detailed information on the activities in House A. The LOB diagram generated by Vico's Schedule Planner aligns with the Lean principle of “Visual Management”. It has demonstrated an improved ability to detect empty areas, collisions, and discontinuous activities compared to Gantt charts. Additionally, the Lean principle of “Reduced Batch Size” was utilized to minimize waiting times between work groups. Despite the project exceeding the allotted time by two weeks, the conversion resulted in a location-based schedule that promoted continuous workflow, enhanced efficiency, and improved monitoring of the construction process.

<div> <div> <p>Building Information Modeling (BIM) serves as an important media in supporting automation in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain. However, with its fast development by different software companies in different applications, data exchange became labor-intensive, costly, and error-prone, which is known as the problem of interoperability. Industry foundation classes (IFC) are widely accepted to be the future of BIM in solving the challenge of BIM interoperability. However, there are practical limitations of the IFC standards, e.g., IFC’s flexibility creates space for misuses of IFC entities. This incorrect semantic information of an object can cause severe problems to downstream uses. To address this problem, the author proposed to use the concept of invariant signatures, which are a new set of features that capture the essence of an AEC object. Based on invariant signatures, the author proposed a rule-based method and a machine learning method for BIM-based AEC object classification, which can be used to detect potential misuses automatically. Detailed categories for beams were tested to have error-free performance. The best performing algorithm developed by the methods achieved 99.6% precision and 99.6% recall in the general building object classification. To promote automation and further improve the interoperability of BIM tasks, the author adopted invariant signature-based object classification in quantity takeoff (QTO), structural analysis, and model validation for automated building code compliance checking (ACC). Automation in such BIM tasks was enabled with high accuracy.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p> </div> </div>

This study aims to design and implement a domain-specific computer programming language: the Building Environment Rule and Analysis (BERA) Language. As a result of the growing area of Building Information Modeling (BIM), there has been a need to develop highly customized domain-specific programming languages for handling issues in building models in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The BERA Language attempts to deal with building information models in an intuitive way in order to define and analyze rules in design stages. The application of the BERA Language aims to provide efficiency in defining, analyzing and checking rules. Specific example applications implemented in this dissertation are on the evaluation of two key aspects: building circulation and spatial programming. The objective of this study is to accomplish an effectiveness and ease of use without precise knowledge of general-purpose languages that are conventionally used in BIM software development. To achieve the goal, this study proposes an abstraction of the universe of discourse - it is the BERA Object Model (BOM). It is a human-centered abstraction of complex state of building models rather than the computation-oriented abstraction. By using BOM, users can enjoy the ease of use and portability of BIM data, rather than complex and platform-dependent data structures. This study also has reviewed and demonstrated its potential for extensibility of BOM. Not only its lateral extensions such as structural building elements, but also the vertical extensions such as additional properties for existing BOM objects are good examples. In current BERA Language Tool, many computed and derived properties/relations have been proposed and implemented, as well as some basic data directly from the given building model. Target users of the BERA Language are domain experts such as architects, designers, reviewers, owners, managers, students, etc., rather than BIM software developers. It means that the people who are interested in the building environment rule and analysis are the potential users. The BERA Language Tool comprises many libraries to alleviate common but unnecessary problems and limitations that are encountered when users attempt to analyze and evaluate building models using commercially available tools. Combined with other libraries which populate rich and domain-specific datasets for certain purposes, the BERA Language will be fairly versatile to define rules and analyze various building environmental conditions.

Quando se refere à adoção de recursos tecnológicos nesta etapa do ciclo de vida da edificação, é comum relacioná-los a métodos tradicionais de operação, uma grande quantidade de documentos, que geralmente não são achados quando necessário, ou recursos utilizados para desenvolver a manutenção preditiva. Este cenário não é diferente na Faculdade de Arquitetura da UFBA (FAUFBA), onde os processos de operação e manutenção seguem padrões tradicionais, de pouca eficiência e eficácia, que dependem de departamentos como a Superintendência de Meio Ambiente e Infraestrutura da UFBA (SUMAI), responsável pela manutenção e conservação dos campi de Salvador: campus Federação / Ondina, campus do Canela, das unidades dispersas e também do campus Anísio Teixeira em Vitória da Conquista. O presente trabalho aborda a utilização da tecnologia CAFM em Instituições de Ensino Superior. Para tanto, foram analisados estudos de caso sobre a aplicação de CAFM na operação e na manutenção de Universidades nacionais e no exterior. Foram identificadas as dificuldades e a metodologia adotada para a implementação da tecnologia, que propõe a concentração de informações essenciais ao processo de gestão da edificação. Diante de recursos promissores, desde a gestão de instalações físicas à gestão de pessoas, a FAUFBA foi utilizada como objeto de trabalho para a implementação do Sistema de Alocação de Espaços em uma aplicação de Facilities Management. Para este propósito, foram utilizados modelos BIM das edificações que compõem a FAUFBA para a realização de testes. Ressaltase a importância da precisão dos dados alfanuméricos ou geométricos, visto que, este é um sistema de banco de dados espacialmente referenciado, ou seja, um repositório de informações, que é de grande valor durante a etapa de operação e manutenção da edificação. / . / In general, it is difficult to associate such advanced technology resources with the way that operation and maintenance in today's buildings is conducted. Regarding the adoption of technological resources at this stage of edification life cycle, it is common to relate them to traditional methods of operation. Usually a large number of documents are not found when necessary, or resources used to develop predictive maintenance. This scenario is no different in the Faculty of Architecture of UFBA (FAUFBA), where operation and maintenance processes follow traditional, lowefficiency and efficacious standards, which depend on departments such as the UFBA Superintendence of the Environment and Infrastructure (SUMAI), responsible for the maintenance and conservation of the campuses of Salvador: Federação / Ondina campus, Canela campus, dispersed units and also the Anísio Teixeira campus in Vitória da Conquista. The present work deals with the use of CAFM technology in Higher Education Institutions. Therefore, we analyzed case studies on the application of CAFM in the operation and maintenance of national universities and abroad. We identified the difficulties and the methodology adopted for the implementation of the technology, which proposes the concentration of essential information to the process of building management. Considering the necessities of the university with regards of management of physical facilities and personnel, it was used as a work object for the implementation of the Space Allocation System, using Facilities Management. For this purpose, BIM models of the buildings that make up the FAUFBA were used to carry out tests. The importance of the precision of the alphanumeric or geometric data is emphasized, since this is a spatially referenced database system - a repository of information, which is of great value during the stage of operation and maintenance of the building.

Avec la construction et le développement de la ville intelligente, la façon de construire le modèle 3D réaliste des grands bâtiments de la ville rapidement et efficacement devient le hotspot de recherche. Dans cette thèse, une méthode procédurale de modélisation intelligente est proposée pour construire rapidement et efficacement un modèle de construction de ville 3D à grande échelle basé sur la modélisation de la forme de la façade et de la grammaire de forme. La technologie de l'information du bâtiment (BIM) est un moyen technique important pour améliorer l'industrie de la construction, pour la conception du bâtiment de la ville et la construction de la meilleure recherche et l'application de la technologie BIM est la clé, de gérer efficacement les informations du cycle de vie du bâtiment et de réaliser le partage et l'échange. Cette thèse a étudié l'acquisition et le traitement des données de modélisation. Google Earth et le logiciel ArcGIS sont principalement utilisés pour acquérir et traiter des données d'images-cartes et des données de cartes d'élévation de la zone cible, ces deux types de correspondance et de superposition de données, qui peuvent générer des données de terrain urbain 3D avec des informations de localisation géographique. Ensuite OpenStreetMap est utilisé pour acquérir les données routières de la zone cible, et il peut être optimisé pour le réseau routier nécessaire par le logiciel JOSM. La technologie de balayage laser 3D est utilisée pour collecter des images de texture de surface de bâtiment et pour créer le modèle de nuages de points de la modélisation d'architecture cible afin d'obtenir les dimensions de modélisation par mesure. Sur cette base, cette thèse a principalement étudié le principe et le processus de la règle CGA pour créer des modèles de construction, et étudié la méthode qui peut séparer les éléments architecturaux en utilisant la segmentation d'image pour générer automatiquement la règle CGA et de créer ensuite le modèle de construction. Ainsi, des modèles de construction 3D ont été établis dans le logiciel CityEngine en utilisant les règles CGA et la technologie de segmentation des façades. Cette thèse a construit le modèle d'information intégré au bâtiment urbain (CBIIM) basé sur BIM. L'information sur la construction de la ville est classée et intégrée, et le bâtiment et la composante ont été décrits avec la norme IFC, afin de gérer efficacement les informations du cycle de vie du bâtiment. Cette thèse étudie la technologie du modèle d'association d'information intégrée, qui permet de réaliser une conception standardisée des composants avec des caractéristiques associées et une conception intelligente des bâtiments avec des paramètres associés dans les règles de connaissances combinées avec l'IFC. La technologie de simulation de la construction de visualisation est étudiée. Les règles de connaissance dans le modèle d'information intégré fournissent une référence fiable pour la simulation de construction, et la scène de simulation est créée en invoquant le modèle d'information intégré, ainsi le processus de simulation est terminé. En prenant le campus Baoshan de l'Université de Shanghai comme exemple, le processus de modélisation de la scène entière est illustré, et les étapes de modélisation de toutes sortes d'objets 3D sont décrites en détail pour résoudre les problèmes spécifiques dans le processus de modélisation réelle. Ainsi, la faisabilité et la validité de la méthode de modélisation intelligente procédurale sont vérifiées. Prenant comme exemple le dortoir de l'Université de Shanghai, une simulation et le modèle de simulation ont été créés par les informations intégrées, combinées aux informations de construction pertinentes, la simulation de construction a été complétée par le programme. Ainsi, la faisabilité et la validité du CBIIM sont vérifiées. / With the construction and development of the smart city, how to construct the realistic 3D model of the large-scale city buildings quickly and efficiently which becomes the research hotspot. In this thesis, a novel 3D modeling approach is proposed to quickly and efficiently build 3D model of large-scale city buildings based on shape grammar and facade rule modeling. Building Information Model (BIM) is an important technical means to enhance the construction industry, for the city building design and construction, how to better research and application of BIM technology which is the key, in this thesis City Building Integrated Information Model (CBIIM) is specified to manage the information of building lifecycle effectively and realize the information sharing and exchanging. This thesis has studied the acquisition and processing of the modeling data. Google Earth and ArcGIS software are mainly used to acquire and process image-maps data and elevation-maps data of the target area, these two kinds of data match and overlay, which can generate 3D city terrain data with geographic location information. Then OpenStreetMap is used to acquire road data of the target area, and it can be optimal processed to the necessary road network by JOSM software. 3D laser scanning technology is used to collect building surface texture images and create the point clouds model of the target architecture modeling so as to get the modeling dimensions by measurement. On this basis, this thesis mainly has studied the principle and the process of CGA rule to create building models, and studied the method that can separate architectural elements using image segmentation to generate CGA rule automatically and to create building model furtherly. Thus 3D building models have been established in the CityEngine software using CGA rules and facade modeling technology. This thesis has specified the City Building Integrated Information Model (CBIIM) based on BIM. The city building information are classified and integrated, and the building and component was described with the IFC standard, in order to manage the informations of building lifecycle effectively. This thesis studies the integrated information association model technology, that it can realize standardized component design with associated features and intelligent building design with associated parameters in knowledge rules combined with IFC. The construction simulation technology is studied. The knowledge rules in the integrated information model provide a reliable reference for the construction simulation, and the simulation scene is created through the invoking the integrated information model, thus the construction simulation process is completed by the program. Taking Baoshan Campus of Shanghai University as an example, the modeling process of the whole scene is illustrated, and the modeling steps of all kinds of 3D objects are described in detail to solve the specific problems in the actual modeling process. Thus the feasibility and validity of the procedural intelligent modeling approach are verified. Taking the dormitory of Shanghai University as an example, a simulation scene and the simulation model were created by the integrated informations, combined with the relevant construction information the construction simulation was completed by the program. Thus the feasibility and validity of the CBIIM are verified.

Les systèmes de vision artificielle sont aujourd'hui limités à l'extraction de données issues de ce que les caméras « voient ». Cependant, la compréhension de ce qu'elles voient peut être enrichie en associant la connaissance du contexte et la connaissance d'interprétation d'un humain.Dans ces travaux de thèse, nous proposons une approche associant des algorithmes de vision atificielle à une modélisation sémantique du contexte d'acquisition.Cette approche permet de réaliser un raisonnement sur la connaissance extraite des images par les caméras en temps réel. Ce raisonnement offre une réponse aux problèmes d'occlusion et d'erreurs de détections inhérents aux algorithmes de vision artificielle. Le système complet permet d'offrir un ensemble de services intelligents (guidage, comptage...) tout en respectant la vie privée des personnes observées. Ces travaux forment la première étape du développement d'un bâtiment intelligent qui peut automatiquement réagir et évoluer en observant l'activité de ces usagers, i.e., un bâtiment intelligent qui prend en compte les informations contextuelles.Le résultat, nommé WiseNET, est une intelligence artificielle en charge des décisions au niveau du bâtiment (qui pourrait être étendu à un groupe de bâtiments ou même a l'échelle d'un ville intelligente). Elle est aussi capable de dialoguer avec l'utilisateur ou l'administrateur humain de manière explicite. / To date, computer vision systems are limited to extract digital data of what the cameras "see". However, the meaning of what they observe could be greatly enhanced by environment and human-skills knowledge.In this work, we propose a new approach to cross-fertilize computer vision with contextual information, based on semantic modelization defined by an expert.This approach extracts the knowledge from images and uses it to perform real-time reasoning according to the contextual information, events of interest and logic rules. The reasoning with image knowledge allows to overcome some problems of computer vision such as occlusion and missed detections and to offer services such as people guidance and people counting. The proposed approach is the first step to develop an "all-seeing" smart building that can automatically react according to its evolving information, i.e., a context-aware smart building.The proposed framework, named WiseNET, is an artificial intelligence (AI) that is in charge of taking decisions in a smart building (which can be extended to a group of buildings or even a smart city). This AI enables the communication between the building itself and its users to be achieved by using a language understandable by humans.

Aufgrund der weiter fortschreitenden Digitalisierung verändern sich die seit langer Zeit etablierten Prozesse im Bauwesen. Dies zeigt sich zum Beispiel in der stetig steigenden Bedeutung des Building Information Modelings (BIM). Eine der wesentlichen Grundideen von BIM besteht darin, das zentrale Modell über den gesamten Lebenszyklus des Bauwerks zu verwenden. Das digitale Bauwerksmodell stellt somit eine der zentralen Komponenten der BIM-Methode dar. Neben den rein geometrischen Ausprägungen des Bauwerks werden im Modell auch eine Vielzahl an semantischen Informationen vorgehalten. Da insbesondere bei größeren Bauwerken ein fortlaufender Veränderungsprozess stattfindet, muss das Modell entsprechend aktualisiert werden, um dem tatsächlichen Istzustand zu entsprechen. Diese Aktualisierung betrifft nicht nur Veränderungen in der Geometrie, sondern auch in den verknüpften Sachdaten. Bezüglich der Aktualisierung des Modells kann die Photogrammetrie mit ihren modernen Messverfahren wie zum Beispiel Structure-from-Motion (SfM) und daraus abgeleiteten Punktwolken einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Datenerfassung des aktuellen Zustands leisten. Für die erfolgreiche Verknüpfung des photogrammetrisch erfassten Istzustands mit dem durch das Modell definierten Sollzustand müssen beide Datentöpfe in einem gemeinsamen Koordinatensystem vorliegen. In der Regel werden zur Registrierung photogrammetrischer Produkte im Bauwerkskoordinatensystem definierte Passpunkte verwendet. Der Registrierprozess über Passpunkte ist jedoch mit einem erheblichen manuellen Aufwand verbunden. Um den Aufwand der Registrierung möglichst gering zu halten, wurde daher in dieser Arbeit ein Konzept entwickelt, das es ermöglicht, kleinräumige Bildverbände und Punktwolken automatisiert mit einem digitalen Bauwerksmodell zu koregistrieren. Das Verfahren nutzt dabei geometrische Beziehungen zwischen aus den Bildern extrahierten 3D-Liniensegmenten und Begrenzungsflächen, die aus dem digitalen Bauwerksmodell gewonnen werden. Die aufgenommenen Bilder des Objektes dienen zu Beginn als Grundlage für die Extraktion von zweidimensionalen Linienstrukturen. Auf Basis eines über SfM durchgeführten Orientierungsprozesses können diese zweidimensionalen Kanten zu einer Rekonstruktion in Form von 3D-Liniensegmenten weiterverarbeitet werden. Die weiterhin benötigten Begrenzungsflächen werden aus einem mit Hilfe der Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) definierten BIM-Modell gewonnen. Das entwickelte Verfahren nutzt dabei auch die von IFC bereitgestellten Möglichkeiten der räumlichen Aggregationshierarchien. Im Zentrum des neuen Koregistrieransatzes stehen zwei große Komponenten. Dies ist einerseits der mittels eines Gauß-Helmert-Modells umgesetze Ausgleichungsvorgang zur Transformationsparameterbestimmung und andererseits der im Vorfeld der Ausgleichung angewandten Matching-Algorithmus zur automatischen Erstellung von Korrespondenzen zwischen den 3D-Liniensegmenten und den Begrenzungsflächen. Die so gebildeten Linien-Ebenen-Paare dienen dann als Beobachtung im Ausgleichungsprozess. Da während der Parameterschätzung eine durchgängige Betrachtung der stochastischen Informationen der Beobachtungen erfolgt, ist am Ende des Registrierprozesses eine Qualitätsaussage zu den berechneten Transformationsparametern möglich. Die Validierung des entwickelten Verfahrens erfolgt an zwei Datensätzen. Der Datensatz M24 diente dabei zum Nachweis der Funktionsfähigkeit unter Laborbedingungen. Über den Datensatz Eibenstock konnte zudem nachgewiesen werden, dass das Verfahren auch in praxisnahen Umgebungen auf einer realen Baustelle zum Einsatz kommen kann. Für beide Fälle konnte eine gute Registriergenauigkeit im Bereich weniger Zentimeter nachgewiesen werden.:Kurzfassung 3 Abstract 4 1. Einleitung 7 1.1. Photogrammetrie und BIM 7 1.2.

Untersuchung SfM2BIM Parameter 97 / Due to the ongoing digitalization, traditional and well-established processes in the construction industry face lasting transformations. The rising significance of Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be seen as an example for this development. One of the core principles of BIM is the usage of the model throughout the entire life cycle of the building. Therefore, the digital twin can be regarded as one of the central components of the BIM method. Besides of the pure geometry of the building the corresponding model also contains a huge amount of semantic data. Especially in large building complexes constant changes are taking place. Consequently, the model also has to be updated regularly in order to reflect the actual state. These actualizations include both changes in geometry and in the linked technical data. Photogrammetry with its modern measuring and reconstruction techniques like structure from motion can help to facilitate this update process. In order to establish a link between the photogrammetric recorded present state and the nominal state specified by the building model both datasets have to be available in a common reference frame. Usually ground control points are used for registering the photogrammetric results with the building coordinate system. However, using ground control points results in a very labor-intensive registration process. In order to keep the required effort as low as possible this work proposes a novel concept to automatically co-register local image blocks with a digital building model. The procedure makes use of geometric relationships between 3D-linesegments that get extracted from the input images and bounding surfaces that are derived from the building model. At first the captured images are used to extract two-dimensional line patterns. These edges get further processed to 3D line segments based on an orientation estimation using structure from motion. The additionally required bounding surfaces are derived from a building model defined by the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). The spatial aggregation structures defined in the IFC are used for alleviating the procedure. Two big components form the core piece of the novel approach. On the one hand this is the adjustment calculation for the estimation of transformation parameters using a full Gauß-Helmert-Model and the developed matching algorithm for establishing line-plane-correspondences on the other hand. The so formed correspondences serve as the observation for the adjustment process. During the parameter estimation stochastic information of the observations is completely considered. Therefore, quality predictions can be made upon completion of the registration process. The validation of the developed was conducted using two datasets. The dataset M24 served as primary validation source since the results of the algorithm could be checked under laboratory conditions and compared with results obtained by ground control points. By examine the Eibenstock dataset it could be demonstrated that the procedure also works in practical conditions on a real construction site. For both cases the registration accuracy averages to a few centimeters.:Kurzfassung 3 Abstract 4 1. Einleitung 7 1.1. Photogrammetrie und BIM 7 1.2. Anwendungsbezug und Problemstellung 7 1.3.
