Construction industries have increasingly utilized Building information Modeling (BIM) technologies. Interoperability - the capability for BIM data to run from one computer application to another in the life cycle of a project has become one of the principal research areas. Enhancing interoperability inevitably requires information structures that are standardized throughout the construction industries. As a candidate of the data exchange standard, Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) has been developed and several researches recently performed to measure its richness of digital data exchange. But doubts have been brought up whether IFC meets a sufficient level of interoperability since the research result revealed a number of cases of information misrepresentation and loss. This research presents the lessons learned from the interoperability tests of three widely used 3D design applications including Graphisoft's Archicad, Autodesk's Revit, and Bentley's Bentley Architecture. One building's architectural and structural design data were modeled with the three tools and exchanged through IFC respectively for interoperability test.

IFC(Industry Foundation Classes) is used for information exchange in BIM-based collaboration process, and it does not secure reliability of information exchange results between fields due to structural limitations. In the end, it is a realistic problem that we have to use specialized BIM software by field, and we can not secure smooth interoperability in the process of information exchange and change. This study was conducted to find ways to secure the interoperability of BIM work between architecture and structure fields by utilizing Open Source provided by software developers to solve these problems. First, through expert survey and in-depth interview, information and improvement factors required in the process of collaboration between architecture and structure were derived. Second, in order to find a solution to the improvement factors, existing studies related to Open-API and domestic and overseas APIs were investigated and analyzed. Third, Ad-On was developed to secure interoperability by using Open API, mainly BIM S/W, which is mainly used in each field. As a result of the study, the possibility of securing interoperability through the management of the design change history between fields was confirmed by using API. It is judged that the application range of API will be expanded to the construction and maintenance field in the future. Therefore, in order to increase the usability for application diffusion, further research on interface improvement through user-centered verification is needed.

In general communication system is composed of processor subsystems, I/O processor subsystems and data storage device subsystems those are classified as their functions. In order to improve the data reliability, all subsystems are redundant. Storage device keeps the operational information such as system related information and charging information, and such informations must be stored in non-volatile memory. Flash memory and battery backup memory are commonly used as the non-volatile storage devices. But such kind of memories are expensive per unit capacity and data can't be restored when lost while not being backed up. In this paper we develop a redundant storage device to store a lot of data safely and reliably in communication system. The device consists of micro-controller, FPGA and hard disk It provides many functions those are rebuilding, automatic remapping, host service and remote host service. Also it is designed to provide host service while rebuilding is being done in order not to interrupt the communication services. The developed device can be used instead of expensive storage device like flash memory in various communication systems.

The Internet of things (IoT) needs to be an event-driven approach for efficient related time response and processing. The growth of mobile devices in Internet of Things (IoT) leads to a number of intelligent buildings related IoT applications. For instance, home automation controlling system uses client system such web apps on smartphone or web service to access the home server by sending control commands. The gateway based RESTful technology responsible for handling clients'requests attests an internet latency in case a large number of clients' requests submit toward the gateway increases. In this paper, we propose the design tasks of the IoT gateway for handling concurrency events. The gateway based event-driven architecture is designed for building IoT gateway using node.js on one side and communication protocol based message-oriented middleware known as XMPP to handle communications of intelligent building control devices connected to the gateway through a centralized hub.

Today, as construction industry grows rapidly, technology has advanced throughout the whole industrial world. Architectural design phase has gone digital from the traditional method of drawing which was an important means in the past, and Building Information Modeling(BIM), an emerging new paradigm, changed architectural design process. So this paper studies the difference between a 2D-based and a BIM-based design process which are currently applied to domestic, and proposes a BIM-based integrated design process in order to help establish BIM to domestic efficiently.

기하형상이나 엔지니어링에 관한 정보를 3차원 모델기반으로 다루는 BIM기술은 기존의 2차원 도면작업들에 비해 업무의 효율성이나 신속성, 비용측면 등에서 많은 이점을 제공할 수 있어 건축계획 및 설계, 엔지니어링, 시공, 유지관리, 에너지분석 등 건설산업의 전 분야에 활용되고 있다. 본 논문은 BIM용 프로그램들간에 정보교환을 위해 사용되는 건물의 국제표준 정보모델인 IFC 파일로부터 구조해석을 위한 건물형상모델을 자동으로 구축하기 위한 방법을 제시하고, 실제 구현한 프로그램으로 적용사례를 보여준다.

The purpose of this research is to develop a conceptual model and prototype that establishes a new approach for building cost estimating in the schematic design phage. This research use the method that analyzes quantity and unit price separately to enhance schematic cost estimating through conducting literature review andi analyzing existing schematic cost estimating methods. In addition, this study proposes tile concept of cost breakdown structure including two more classifications: building element and floor compared to existing one only classified by trade. Thus, a Quantity Based Active Schematic cost Estimating(Q-BASE) model is developed founded on those two concepts. By applying proposed schematic cost estimating model, historical structure cost of residential complex building project is analyzed, and then, based on this analysis, prototype is implemented.

도시화가 진행됨에 따라 고층아파트와 고층빌딩 등 지형지물의 변화가 많이 일어나고 있다. 지형지물의 변화는 강풍 발생의 원인으로 작용하며 풍속은 풍상측 지형지물의 영향으로 같은 속도의 바람이 불어올지라도 그 값이 증가 또는 감소한다. 설계기준에서는 이러한 변화를 지표면조도로 정의하고 지표면 상태에 따라 구분하고 있지만 실제 건설지점의 지표면조도를 구분하기 위한 연구와 자료는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 최근 고층아파트가 많이 건설된 연구지역을 대상으로 실제 건축물 수직높이에 따른 지표면조도를 GIS프로그램을 이용하여 구분함으로써 풍하중 풍속설계 시 정확한 지표면조도 구분을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, we propose a novel method for converting the existing 2D processes in the design and construction phase of civil engineering, to the future BIM-based processes. First, we compare and analyze the actual application processes of the outputs of the existing 2D method and the outputs of the 3D BIM method, for the whole process of BIM design of earthworks and road structures and integrated utilization of quantity, process(4D) and construction cost(5D), in view of life-cycle. The proposed method acquire the outputs of the design phase integrating IFC international common standard file information and CBS/OBS/WBS standard classification scheme information, and acquire the outputs of the construction stage by using an integrated utilization module for quantity, process(4D) and construction cost(5D). Ultimately, we intend to commercialize the step by step technologies for BIM design and construction in civil engineering by using the proposed method.

This study investigates the thermal conductivity and density of expanded polystyrene insulation materials collected from buildings under going energy retrofit projects. Due to the absence of initial thermal conductivity data, determining precise long-term patterns was challenging. Analysis based on design documents revealed that expanded polystyrene insulation maintained consistent performance over ten years. Notably, the thermal conductivity measurements of insulation samples of the same grade and age varied significantly. Additionally, the insulation density was found to be substantially below the standard specified in the design documents. The results of the experiment indicate that performance management during both construction and operation phases is lacking. It is crucial to apply building commissioning, which involves performance verification throughout the building's life cycle, to properly evaluate building energy performance improvements, such as building energy retrofit projects.
