A Development and Management Model for “Smart” …
343
In this phase, the choices regarding the use of new materials and new construction
technologies (e.g. carbon fibres and graphene) are made to facilitate the implementation of “light” structural interventions such as making the structure earthquake-proof
and energy efficient.
As implementation of the BIM proceeds in the various phases of the project’s
life cycle, even the connected models evolve, with a constant enrichment of information. This progressive set of models is sometimes defined using different naming
conventions. A common convention in the sector ranks the models as follows:
– the concept stage model (also called the mass model);
– the design stage model (also called the design model—in the case of a construction
project we can also talk about an architectural model, a structural model, a MEP
model, etc.);
– the construction stage model (also defined as the construction model);
– the operation and maintenance stage model (also defined as the final model).
The application of a centralised management model for building (property and
facility management) and users (personal services) is implemented via the use of the
IoT (Internet of things).
The IoT, together with detector devices, allows us to extract the “big data” (data
and information) directly from the user-building system and reuse it for “continuously
improving” the building-eco-system and the performance of services (monitoring the
service-level agreement).
Use of the IoT combined with building automation technologies, attention to customer experience (through the use of a dedicated app for iOS and Android smart
phones) enable us to meet consumer needs more effectively and manage the environments more efficiently.
The management model involves configuring a property management system
(PMS) and the control room.
Property management system is a software programme used to manage room planning, check-in and check-out activities, accounts, and invoicing by accommodation
facilities.
The control room represents a “reference model” that can also be used from
remote, able to communicate with the BIM and conduct a census (in an interactive and
structured manner) on technical/energy, building registry, accounting and tax data,
as well as data on maintenance works and guarantees, with the ability to monitor on a
remote basis (for example, by means of sensors and Webcams) and return information
about individual devices at different levels of detail.
Through the application of the property management system and the interaction
with the control room in the building, it is possible to plan and control the location of
the units, handle the volumes of incoming and outgoing data, create links to internal
and external systems such as hall and utilities systems, and generate reports capable
of providing support to the operational and revenue management choices.
