701 134 BIM automatization for building services design of High-Performance Buildings A. Mata1 1DTU Civil Engineering, Technical University of Denmark INTRODUCTION In the last years, AEC1 industry has faced the need of designing more High-Performance Buildings and has used BIM2 to cope with IPD3 process. But many times it has been translated into higher production costs and has led to outsource in low-cost countries. The aim of this study is increase design process efficiency of building services by using automatization and lean process. This study has been carried in collaboration with MOE A/S PROBLEM IPD process for HPB4 design requires a high collaboration, especially during early design phases. However, nowadays AEC industry faces a lack of software development that often causes a lack of consistency among 3D building model, design data, and client requirements. As a result, AEC firms have faced waste of activities, implying a lower design value of HPB with higher project design cost. So, many Danish firms have been forced to outsource for coping with project budgets. However, this caused other issues such as increase of collaboration time with high-quality control workload and project standardization. M ETHOD Surveys and Leavitt-Ry expanded model have been used as analytical means to determine problems in the existing design process. For achieving a better understanding of the design process, both a representative completed project was analyzed besides and active participation in ongoing projects at MOE A/S. As a r esult, a series of applications were coded by using the visual programming tool “Dynamo” and programming language “Python”. P RODUCT A series of applications were successfully coded and validated for building services design of HPB based on automatization, reusability, data monitoring and open standards. By using these tools, higher quality in the deliverables and integration with other AEC parties is achieved. Moreover, project production time and waste in the design process are reduced, data management is increased, and project information is properly structured and integrated with the life cycle of HPB. As a result, firms could avoid outsourcing by producing in a more sustainable and efficient way. Hence, benefits could get kept in local communities and give opportunity to human resources of using their time for being creative and solving problems. CONCLUSION This study presented a feasible and sustainable alternative to outsourcing. This project can be really valuable and help AEC Danish firms to be world leaders in designing of HPB. AEC industry is such a traditional sector, where thinking out of the box is challenging. However, innovation demands change and this is what this project aimed for. Coding and technology are such powerful tools that all AEC companies should be skilled and passionate by using them. So more and better High-Performance Buildings could get designed and built. People are such a valuable company’s asset that shouldn’t be used as project production machines.
