As recent multilateral collaboration design system has been advanced, BIM based data exchange is a key factor for successful next generation building project. Even though many studies have been trying to set up a data compatibility system for collaboration, There are still a lot of problem in data exchange between design and engineering phase. Therefore, In this study, we analysis causes of problem for information exchange and suggest a IFC based Information exchange framework for improving BIM based design collaboration environment. In order to find out problems that hinder establishment of advanced open BIM information exchange, proper analysis about transition of process from current and to-be BIM based design collaboration process is important, at first. From analysis of main obstacles to information exchange, this research suggests solution plan using open API and IFC based BIM collaboration supporting system. The suggested open API solution named Integrity feedback system perform a role making up for weak point derived from IFC based data exchange. And main system suggestion about framework for IFC based information exchange reflect technological system support, requirement of function for collaboration including API/BCF plug-in.

BIM Data exchange using standard format can provide a user friendly and practical way of integrating the BIM tools in the life cycle of a building on the currently construction industry which is participated various stakeholder. It used IFC format to exchange the BIM data from Design software to energy analysis software. However, since we can not use the material name data in the library of an energy analysis directly, it is necessary to input the material property data for building energy analysis. In this paper, to matching the material named of name of DOE-2 default library, rhe extracted material names from BIM file are inferred by the ontology With this we can make the reliable input data of the engine by development a standard data and also increase the efficient of building energy analysis process. The methodology can enable to provide a direction of BIM-based information management system as a conceptual study of using ontology in the construction industry.

최근 건설 산업에서는 비용 절감과 공기 단축 등 건설 프로세스의 새로운 대안으로 BIM(Building Information Modeling)의 효용성이 널리 알려지며 대형건설사와 건축사사무소를 중심으로 BIM 적용을 위한 다양한 시도가 이뤄지고 있다. 이러한 과정은 다양한 분야의 전문가들의 협업으로 이루어지기 때문에 작업자간의 원활한 설계 정보 공유를 위해서는 각기 다른 BIM 소프트웨어에서 만들어 내는 데이터간의 정보호환이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 빌딩스마트(buildingSMART International, BSI)가 제시한 건축, 엔지니어링, 시공 분야(AEC)의 데이터 교환을 위한 국제 표준인 IFC(Industry Foundation Classes)를 이용하여 이기종 파일 간 호환성 검토 및 문제점 분석을 통해 정보모델개발의 기반자료로 활용하고자 한다.

A methodology for BIM Quality Assurance in the construction industry is becoming increasingly an important issue to determine the reliability of BIM. However, the quality assurance of BIM is currently limited to check 3D models, such as clash detection and space layout while verification methods for disciplinary BIM results from structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and estimation do not exist yet. Particularly, in the BIM-based estimation mathematical equations to take off quantities are not clearly exposed so that the results are not quite accepted at practices. With the concept of reliability engineering defined in the manufacturing industry to improve reliability of outcomes of BIM-based quantity take-off, impacting factors that affect reliability of BIM-based quantity take-off were derived. It was found that the factors also include the modeling method and the features of a BIM tool. Therefore, this research aims to propose modeling and verification methods to improve reliability of BIM-based quantity take-off through the pilot test that was performed with commercial BIM tools and IFC-based BIM data.

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.

Recently BIM is utilized to improve productivity for Life Cycle Cost of construction projects. Therefore, the establishment of BIM process by each construction project is a necessary element. However, cases and the pertinent researches that BIM process by each project is established are still not enough in Korea. The study proposed construction of BIM process through how to set up BIM application, how to organize a BIM team, how to set up a family and modeling method in the early stage. To achieve the purpose, the study examined application ability of BIM process by carrying out basic setting and modeling work through pilot study model, examination of the amount of materials and information interchange with IFC. The study attempted making a foundation of domestic BIM guideline construction through the above examination.

Small and middle sized architectural design firms still have trouble using BIM (Building Information Modeling) for their tasks, which means that it is necessary to develop BIM Libraries and Technical contents. These BIM libraries should be based on common technical standards that reflect the technical contents to provide optimum BIM design support. This is essential to reduce the technological burden on the design office, because BIM does not just involve the 3D modeling of the design, but provides very important information for calculating the quantity of materials required for the construction and providing materials for the design work. Therefore, this research was aimed at improving the efficiency of the BIM design process by developing a system module based on the BIM technical contents data for the purpose of linking the BIM data and technical contents. The developed system module will be expanded to other uses of BIM in the long term.

The importance of using construction data is increasing in accordance with the recent trend in the smart construction. However, construction project and maintenance information is distributed on the web, and the existing BIM(Building Information Modeling) information exchange and linking method using IFC(Industry Foundation Classes) cannot support connection with BIM data and web resources. This study aims to establish the BIM-based port facility data integration system using linked data(LD) technology in order to integrate BIM and heterogeneous data in the port maintenance domain. To this end, the port BIM-based ifcOWL and port facility maintenance ontology were designed, and LD was built for the BIM and maintenance information of Busan New Port 2-1 Pier3, a BIM pilot project. In addition, service prototypes such as search, statistics and SPARQL(SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) endpoint functions were implemented using the issued LD. The LD-based information utilization system is expected to improve the reusability of information by converting the existing closed information system into an open system and BIM and maintenance data as a web resource in a standard format.
