"Once "systems-thinking" replaces what is currently the mind set or the assumptions held by construction industry practitioners, then top-down, function-based data modeling and analysis will be possible. The aim of this paper is three-fold:
* To provide an overview of how Building Information Modeling (BIM), though energizing the construction industry, is currently limited to just the post-planning and project definition stages. Additionally, BIM's effectiveness is reduced in these latter stages by the fragmented structures and practices of the industry.
* To analyze the effect of adding function-based computational modeling to the current object or geometric-based modeling (BIM) technology, in three key areas: (1) having early, comprehensive, real time planning and budgeting for capital development and building operations, (2) the ability to compute and predict performance standards, and also provide validation and calibration based on actual historical project data, and (3) enable development of integrated, holistic planning, design, procurement, construction and operations management systems that many have envisioned.
* To communicate the implications of the owner, building designer and production team being equipped earlier, more accurately and with multiple options in order to drive the best combination of function, scope, performance and value. This technology enables a performance-based apparatus to drive long term innovation and optimization based on the operations of the completed building. This is instrumental to bringing about the goal of innovative, cost-effective, high performance buildings." to find out more...
