Why are we talking today?

Most likely you are managing buildings and want to
utilize the power of Building Information Models (BIM)
for your Facility Management program.

Why You Need Integrated BIM for Your Facility

NIST GCR 04-867, Cost Analysis of Inadequate Interoperability in the U.S.
Capital Facilities Industry

• 66% of interoperability losses are borne by
Owners
• $0.23/ existing SF/year

EcoDomus

Why Couldn’t You Do It Before?
At the financial completion of a
project, the construction manager
typically delivers a truck-full of boxes
(or CD's containing PDFs) to the facility
manager.

It is assumed that this information can
assist the facility manager to maintain,
operate, and track assets within the
building.

More often than not this information is
delivered months or years after the
building has been occupied and is
ultimately placed in a storage room
where it is never used.

Business Workflows Improved by BIM/FM
1. Maintenance Work Order Management
2. Emergency Service Request / Disaster Recovery
3. Energy Systems Analysis / “Greening” of Facilities
4. Visual Work Orders
5. Visual Inventorying / Assets Reconciliation
6. Facility Condition Assessment
7. Life Safety Assets Inspections

EcoDomus

1: Maintenance Work Orders
Given: - CMMS application generates a work order
Task: - Technicians are expected to complete the work in
reasonable time, and they need information about the
system or the equipment to be serviced
Solution: - Click the Link to the EcoDomus viewer to view the
details about equipment that needs servicing.

EcoDomus

The EcoDomus software opens a 3D view of the equipment that should
be serviced. Equipment properties are displayed automatically.

EcoDomus

The equipment’s corresponding documents are attached, and can be
accessed immediately.

EcoDomus

2: Emergency Service Request
Given: Pipe burst. Immediate response is required.
Task: How to mitigate the risk ASAP?
Solution: Use the EcoDomus O & M Portal to find the shut off valve for
the appropriate water system within seconds.

EcoDomus

2: Emergency Service Request
Select the Hot Water System in the list of Systems and
see which valves belong to it, then select the valve. Or Search
for “valve”. Or navigate to the room where you think the
valve is located to confirm that its there.

EcoDomus

3: Energy Systems Analysis
• Building controls are managed by the intelligent Building
Automation System (i.e. Honeywell, Siemens, Schneider
Electric, or Johnson Controls).
• A “cold call” is received that room 101 is “too cold”. BAS
doesn’t throw any alerts. And a check of the BAS doesn’t
show anything out of the ordinary.

EcoDomus

3: Energy Systems Analysis
• Go to Room 101 in the O & M Portal.
• Select a VAV and review it’s set points vs. actual data. Review
the VAV’s properties.
• Trace the other components of the same air supply system.
• Review any previous work orders performed on the
equipment.

EcoDomus

4: Visual Work Orders
• Use the Tablet PC (offline/online) to redline the broken equipment.
• Create a notification that will be emailed to the technician as an image
file, and will create a work order in the CMMS based on equipment’s
unique ID linking the work order with the asset.
• Items with issues are colored in the model until the issue is resolved.

EcoDomus

5: Visual Inventorying
Given: Tens of thousands of facility assets/records in FM application.
“As-built” 3-D model of the facility claims to be accurate (laser scan /
converted drawings).

Task: Verify accuracy of data.

Solution: Map 3-D objects to FM records via EcoDomus software.

EcoDomus

5: Visual Inventorying
Link 3D objects with database COBie/FM system values: creating
BIM (intelligent 3D) out of CAD (3D drawings only)

EcoDomus

6: Facility Condition Assessment
Given: Tens or hundreds of buildings under management.
Task: How to improve budgeting of repairs and renovations in the
most optimal way.
Solution: BIM-based Facility Condition Assessment for spaces and
assets improved by real-time data from sensors.

EcoDomus

7: Life Safety Assets Inspection
• On a Tablet PC, while being in the facility, quickly identify the items required
to be inspected in the model.

• Use extensive data to analyze performance and compliance factors.

• Update information, then later sync new information to the FM application.

• Generate compliance reports or create work orders in primary apps.

EcoDomus

Construction Operations Building information
exchange (COBie)
• COBie is methodology for collecting project data once it
becomes available and storing it in a common dataset.
• Provides for open standard delivery of building information to
owner.
• For use in Planning, Design, Construction, and the Operation
phases.
It is required by:
• Department of Veterans Affairs
• NASA
• Department of State
• Texas A&M University
• Indiana University
• GSA
• US Army Corps of Engineers
US ACE, Engineering Research and Development Center (c) 2009

EcoDomus was the First Construction Software Company to be COBie certified
EcoDomus

COBie: Benefits for Owners
• Quick upload of handover data into CMMS (minutes vs. months)
• Data Quality Control due to standardized datasets
• Learn how to run the facility before you move in (if on-time data entry enforced)
• Enable as-built configuration management (if EcoDomus middleware is used)
• Save data entry time by using smart objects (Revit families, SPie)

Manufacturer

Serial Number

Other fields:
Replacement Cost,
Installation Date,
Vendor, etc.

EcoDomus

COBie: Quality Control
• Data validation via automated quality control – make sure
COBie rules are followed
• Owner requirements control – making sure the correct
information is provided
• OmniClass rules for attributes , naming conventions, and
documentation

EcoDomus

Suggested Workflow for COBie
Owners provide detailed project requirements based on existing
Facility Management Program. A/E’s, FM technology consultants,
and Contractors help set up a program if it doesn’t exist.

A/E/C project team members create a detailed BIM/COBie
Execution Plan based on owner’s project requirements.

Continuously collect and check quality of entered data and
documents throughout the project in the appropriate software
(like EcoDomus).

Final acceptance of data handover as a COBie spread sheet
or, preferably, as a dataset imported into CMMS/CAFM

Continuous improvement of a Facility Management Program
feeds future projects’ requirements.

Results:
1) Design BIM is not field-verified and often inaccurate.
2) No construction data quality control implemented = inaccurate data.
3) Navisworks file quickly becomes outdated and difficult to maintain.
4) No integration with the owner’s FM packages (CMMS/CAFM).

Benefits of Improved Workflow

Results:
1) Design BIM is now “As Built”: field-verified and accurate, and it’s
a file in the format that owner can work with
2) Construction data quality control implemented – accurate data
3) Navisworks file is used for easy model navigation but not critical
in maintaining model data, since data is stored in SQL database
or in COBie file
4) BIM is integrated with CMMS/CAFM via EcoDomus: allowing
both to be synchronous and up-to-date.
