Integrated BIM Systems for Design, Construction and Operation: Second Edition

This book examines Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) as essential technologies for improving productivity and efficiency in the construction industry. BIM enables the digital representation of physical and functional building characteristics and serves as a practical tool for implementing integrated VDC processes in design, construction, and project management.The publication analyzes obstacles to supporting VDC systems, particularly in the public sector, and discusses the development of effective support systems and working environments. It also presents methods for integrating information models among BIM, GIS, and heterogeneous databases related to facilities and energy management, including advanced visualization techniques for efficient information sharing and decision-making.The technologies and frameworks described in the book provide foundations for developing smart buildings, smart construction systems, and smart cities. The work is intended for researchers, engineers, architects, construction professionals, and students interested in digital technologies for the built environment.
