Toolkit

The tested version of BIMMS platform has been delivered in M30. The tested version of the BIMMS offers a set of functionalities that meet the stakeholders’ needs during the renovation work. The tested workflows demonstrate that the BIMMS can integrate tools and enable the data interoperability through data exchange services. The proposed implementation can prevent some bottleneck tasks (i.e. the export, upload, download, and import cycle) used in the traditional file exchange to improve the time and cost reduction. Moreover, the BIMMS’ CDE includes some functionalities to support the Linked Data that allow users to define and retrieve resources exploiting the richness of the Semantic Web.

The BIMPlanner tool provides a digital environment to share up-to-date information about the plans and site progress operations with all participants of a renovation project. Applying the Location-based management system (LBMS) the tool links data from familiar planning and tracking desktop tools with BIM models to allow more effective management of renovation site operations.

BIMcpd stands for BIM Constraint Checking, Performance Analysis and Data Management. The tool is a user-friendly self-intuitive software suite designed to reduce processing time for constraint checking, increase building energy performance knowledge, standardise building energy data and help users to make informed and better decisions.

Auteras supports building services designers to design Room Automation Systems (as part of Building Automation Control Systems-BACS) with a semi-automated process of a functional requirement survey and the generation of function block-based designs, which use standardised symbols to ensure a high comprehension from professionals in different trades.

BIM4Occupants tool is a mobile application that provides residents and/or owners with information related to their building renovation activities performed, as well as with personalised information related to their indoor home conditions, comfort preferences and energy consumption.

The BIM4EEB BIMeaser tool stands for BIM Early Stage Energy Scenario tool. The tool is designed to support the decision-making process in the early design stage of the renovation process.

The BIM4EEB Fast Mapping Toolkit incorporates a range of new tools developed to speed-up the scan-to-BIM process and to improve the data visualisation of an existing building by using Augmented Reality (AR).

BIMMS is an open and interoperable data management platform that enables information to be gathered from different sources in an internet-based environment throughout the building's life cycle
