This paper recognized a need in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry for new programs and methods of producing reliable energy simulations using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. Current methods and programs for running energy simulations are not very timely, difficult to understand, and lack high interoperability between the BIM software and energy simulation software. It is necessary to improve on these drawbacks as design decision are often made without the aid of energy modeling leading to the design and construction of non-optimized buildings with respect to energy efficiency. The goal of this research project is to develop a new methodology to produce energy estimates from a BIM model in a more timely fashion and to improve interoperability between the simulation engine and BIM software. In the proposed methodology, the extracted information from a BIM model is compiled into an INP file and run in a popular energy simulation program, DOE-2, on an hourly basis for a desired time period. Case study showed that the application of this methodology could be used to expediently provide energy simulations while at the same time reproducing the BIM in a more readably three dimensional modeling program. With the aid of an easy to run and easily understood energy simulation methodology, designers will be able to make more energy conscious decisions during the design phase and as changes in design requirements arise.

The utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has increased in order to enhance the integration of information for management and resources throughout the construction projects. Therefore, various BIM softwares have been used under open BIM environments in the building and plant construction industry. However, it has obstructive factors due to the lack of interoperability. In order to address this problem, this study conducted an interoperability analysis of BIM software focused on user-defined properties for enhanced function and efficiency. Result of the analysis shows that authoring tools have more interoperability problems than viewer tools and simulation tools have. In terms of interoperability, user-defined properties outperforms than those of system basic properties and logic data. Therefore, it was found that functional improvement and workload minimization in BIM can be attained by applying the GBS (an user-defined property for automatic manipulation of BIM proposed by Jung et al. 2013) that enables automatic link between geometric data and non-geometric data. In this respect, this study concludes that the application of user-defined property (e.g. GBS) can be an effective method for information integration throughout construction projects.

Building information modeling (BIM) has been receiving attention as an integrated information model instead of CAD since the 2000s. BIM technology was first used in the architectural field and was later introduced to the civil engineering field. However, the government announced a plan for the application of BIM to 20% of all SOC projects from 2020, so the adoption of BIM technology is expected to accelerate. In order to successfully adopt BIM, a systematic structure should be supported for integrated design information and implementation technology. Also, it is important to establish the relationship between information systems because many complicated factors are intertwined in the construction industry. In this study, we propose a framework for constructing integrated information through identifying the information relations for introducing BIM in the civil engineering industry. We applied this framework to a bridge project to confirm its effectiveness. This study can be applied to the integrated management of the construction process and costs by introduction of a work breakdown structure (WBS) to BIM. In addition, this study is expected to contribute to the adoption of BIM in the civil engineering field through the proposal of information system standardization in this field.

The development of modern science and technology and computer engineering breakthroughs in the field of information and communication have brought about many changes in lifestyle. The government announced the goal of educational policy in 2030 to educate people in future society on a future-oriented perspective. Changes in the curriculum along with changes in educational facilities are essential. Therefore, the operation of a classroom should be associated with classroom spatial information. The BIM design based on 3D geometry information was designed. The BIM design can link the design information and non-geometric information of spatial information. This study examined the operation of school facilities based on classroom spatial information with BIM. This study suggests standardization of classroom spatial information based on BIM. The scenarios of BIM ordering and design for departmentalized classrooms management is proposed.

With the Government's policy of increasing the supply of residential houses in 1970s, the number of apartments have increased dramatically, and as the result, the number of old aged apartment are increasing too. Therefore remodeling is being executed to improve the residential environment. The rate of remodeling is increasing instead of rebuilding because rebuilding takes more resource and because of the realestate issue. There are many uncertainties in construction progress of remodeling such as communication between personnel, demolition and repair work. There are no standard for remodeling construction so such problems have been causing more problems. It has been found that BIM (Building Information Modeling) may be effective for resolving issues of standardization of remodeling construction. Therefore this study wishes to develop a standard process for remodeling work through BIM to estimate the possibility of its use at remodeling sites. Based on this, I wish to contribute to the issue of achieving construction efficiency pursued by BIM.

With the introduction of COBie (Construction Operation Building Exchange) in BIM technology enabling an automatic transfer of design and construction information to operation and management (O&M) phase, the BIM centric O&M management system development process has been tested on the subject of architectural types of building. However, for now, there is a need to investigate the technical feasibility of COBie application to civil structures including industrial facilities. This study takes both "O&M Guideline for Public Wastewater Treatment Plant" and a real wastewater treatment plant into account for the purpose, in which the latter is intended to supplement the result of the first. The findings are three-folds: (1) COBie, as an asset modeling, is not sufficient enough to encompass commissioning data, (2) more relevant IFC development and family library build-up useful to modeling wastewater treatment plant is imperative, and (3) well-planned coordination and organization of COBie data-set in line with O&M practice will enhance the feasibility of the COBie in industrial facilities. The result could be used for a basis study for COBie application, particularly in industrial facilities.

As the application of BIM (Building Information Modeling) to the civil sector has become practical, and mandatory for road projects, the standardization, development of systems, etc. for the application and operation of BIM are required. In particular, it is important to develop BIM data standards for producing, sharing and managing the lifecycle data of civil facilities because they are commonly national public facilities. The BIM data standards have been developed by utilizing or extending IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), which is an international standard, but schema extensions of river facilities has not been developed thus far. This study proposes an approach to an IFC extension for river facilities using the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) as a fundamental study for IFC-based schema extension in the river field. For this purpose, the research was carried out as follows. First, the IFC extension development method was selected to represent the river facilities by analyzing the existing IFC structure and previous research cases for the IFC extension. Second, extended elements of the river facilities were identified through an analysis of the WBS and classified according to the high-level structure of the IFC schema. Third, the classified elements were arranged based on the IFC hierarchy and the IFC schema extension for river facilities was established. Based on the suggested extension method of IFC schema, this study developed the schema by defining the element components and parts of river facilities, such as distribution flow elements and deriving their detailed types and properties.

Public construction projects need complex and multi-functional management skill, since the most of public construction projects are comprised of multi-project and mega-projects. In order to effectively manage construction projects, PMIS is widely used. However the majority of the current PMIS have been developed as a single project-oriented business management system. Thus compatibility problems are encountered during the process of integrating the entire systems to manage the multi-complex projects. In addition, the form of orders applying BIM are increased recently, but the research and development of BIM based PMIS are still lacking. In this study, therefore, the functions of PMIS main objectives based on the analysis of PMIS As-Is and To-Be of PMIS, the dual management system utilizing Internet and Intranet will be proposed to integrate the individual PMIS with Integrated Program Management System. Rather than combining commercial BIM tool and PMIS directly, which is the common method of failure, the sequential process model to adopt BIM based PMIS is also explained. Step-by-step development method of BIM based PMIS is suggested to prepare for the activation of BIM technology in the nearest future.
