Development of new Open BIM use Cases for HVAC System Checks and Dynamic Simulations With IDA ICE

Abstract

Digital planning today is based on Building Information Modelling (BIM); this method greatly profits from the approach of defining use cases that lead through the process. As such, a use case for functional tests of the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems is currently being developed that begins in design development phase of the planning process. Additionally, a use case concerning the linkage between open BIM and the dynamic simulation software IDA ICE is also under development. First results of these use case developments will be presented in this work, along with the challenges of working in open BIM environment using the open BIM standard Industry Foundation Classes (IFC).
