About EcoDomus

The LargestEntertainmentCompany


Why are we talking today?

Most likely you are managing buildings and want to utilize the power of Building Information Models (BIM)

for your Facility Management program.


You Can Do It Today!

Integrate BIM with CMMS,BAS, GIS

Why You Need Integrated BIM for Your Facility

• 66% of interoperability losses are borne by Owners• $0.23/ existing SF/year

NIST GCR 04-867, Cost Analysis of Inadequate Interoperability in the U.S. Capital Facilities Industry


At the financial completion of a project, the construction manager typically delivers a truck-full of boxes (or CD's containing PDFs) to the facility manager.

It is assumed that this information can assist the facility manager to maintain, operate, and track assets within the building.

More often than not this information is delivered months or years after the building has been occupied and is ultimately placed in a storage room where it is never used.

Why Couldn’t You Do It Before?

Business Workflows Improved by BIM/FM


Given: - CMMS application generates a work orderTask: - Technicians are expected to complete the work in

reasonable time, and they need information about the system or the equipment to be serviced

Solution: - Click the Link to the EcoDomus viewer to view the details about equipment that needs servicing.

1: Maintenance Work Orders


The EcoDomus software opens a 3D view of the equipment that should be serviced. Equipment properties are displayed automatically.



The equipment’s corresponding documents are attached, and can be accessed immediately.



Given: Pipe burst. Immediate response is required. Task: How to mitigate the risk ASAP?Solution: Use the EcoDomus O & M Portal to find the shut off valve for the appropriate water system within seconds.

2: Emergency Service Request


Select the Hot Water System in the list of Systems and see which valves belong to it, then select the valve. Or Search for “valve”. Or navigate to the room where you think the valve is located to confirm that its there.

2: Emergency Service Request


• Building controls are managed by the intelligent Building Automation System (i.e. Honeywell, Siemens, Schneider Electric, or Johnson Controls).

• A “cold call” is received that room 101 is “too cold”. BAS doesn’t throw any alerts. And a check of the BAS doesn’t show anything out of the ordinary.

3: Energy Systems Analysis


• Go to Room 101 in the O & M Portal. • Select a VAV and review it’s set points vs. actual data. Review

the VAV’s properties.• Trace the other components of the same air supply system. • Review any previous work orders performed on the

equipment.

3: Energy Systems Analysis


• Use the Tablet PC (offline/online) to redline the broken equipment.• Create a notification that will be emailed to the technician as an image

file, and will create a work order in the CMMS based on equipment’s unique ID linking the work order with the asset.

• Items with issues are colored in the model until the issue is resolved.

4: Visual Work Orders


Given: Tens of thousands of facility assets/records in FM application. “As-built” 3-D model of the facility claims to be accurate (laser scan / converted drawings).

Task: Verify accuracy of data.

Solution: Map 3-D objects to FM records via EcoDomus software.

5: Visual Inventorying


Link 3D objects with database COBie/FM system values: creating BIM (intelligent 3D) out of CAD (3D drawings only)

5: Visual Inventorying


Given: Tens or hundreds of buildings under management.

Task: How to improve budgeting of repairs and renovations in the most optimal way.

Solution: BIM-based Facility Condition Assessment for spaces and assets improved by real-time data from sensors.

6: Facility Condition Assessment


• On a Tablet PC, while being in the facility, quickly identify the items required to be inspected in the model.

• Use extensive data to analyze performance and compliance factors.

• Update information, then later sync new information to the FM application.

• Generate compliance reports or create work orders in primary apps.

7: Life Safety Assets Inspection


US ACE, Engineering Research and Development Center (c) 2009

It is required by:• Department of Veterans Affairs• NASA• Department of State• Texas A&M University• Indiana University• GSA• US Army Corps of Engineers

• COBie is methodology for collecting project data once it becomes available and storing it in a common dataset.

• Provides for open standard delivery of building information to owner.

• For use in Planning, Design, Construction, and the Operation phases.

Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie)

EcoDomus was the First Construction Software Company to be COBie certified


• Quick upload of handover data into CMMS (minutes vs. months)• Data Quality Control due to standardized datasets• Learn how to run the facility before you move in (if on-time data entry enforced)• Enable as-built configuration management (if EcoDomus middleware is used)• Save data entry time by using smart objects (Revit families, SPie)

Manufacturer

Serial Number

Other fields:Replacement Cost, Installation Date, Vendor, etc.

COBie: Benefits for Owners


• Data validation via automated quality control – make sure COBie rules are followed

• Owner requirements control – making sure the correct information is provided

• OmniClass rules for attributes , naming conventions, and documentation

COBie: Quality Control


Suggested Workflow for COBie

Owners provide detailed project requirements based on existing Facility Management Program. A/E’s, FM technology consultants,

and Contractors help set up a program if it doesn’t exist.

Continuously collect and check quality of entered data and documents throughout the project in the appropriate software

(like EcoDomus).

Final acceptance of data handover as a COBie spread sheet or, preferably, as a dataset imported into CMMS/CAFM

A/E/C project team members create a detailed BIM/COBie Execution Plan based on owner’s project requirements.

Continuous improvement of a Facility Management Program feeds future projects’ requirements.

Results: 1) Design BIM is not field-verified and often inaccurate.2) No construction data quality control implemented = inaccurate data.3) Navisworks file quickly becomes outdated and difficult to maintain.4) No integration with the owner’s FM packages (CMMS/CAFM).

Improved As-Built BIM Workflow


Results: 1) Design BIM is now “As Built”: field-verified and accurate, and it’s

a file in the format that owner can work with2) Construction data quality control implemented – accurate data3) Navisworks file is used for easy model navigation but not critical

in maintaining model data, since data is stored in SQL database or in COBie file

4) BIM is integrated with CMMS/CAFM via EcoDomus: allowing both to be synchronous and up-to-date.
