BIM data Integration, Framework and Information Visualization

Virtual design and construction (VDC) is the management of integrated multi-disciplinary performance models of design¿construction projects including building design and construction projects, work processes, and organizations.Building information modeling (BIM) is a modeling technology that represents physical and functional characteristics of buildings digitally. BIM is an explicit tool to implement VDC.To increase construction industry productivity with the VDC system, it is necessary to improve these methods and the environment for work performance.To achieve this objective, technology development and application as well as public support and developments in systems and environments are required.In this book, obstacles to supporting the VDC system in the public domain are analyzed, and support system development is considered. Also, to integrate information model between BIM, GIS and heterogeneous database related to facility, energy management, the integration method including visualization is described.These technologies and framework can be used for the purpose of developing smart building, smart construction and smart city.
