The research aims to explore new possibilities of upgrading building information modeling (BIM) technology and enhancing energy efficiency and comfort maximization by using existing BIM database and real-time information. The platform developed utilizes Internet of things technologies to design and test via prototyping method, processing real-time indoor thermal information and weather information to create an occupant-operated tool for interactive phase in BIM.
Purpose The heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are responsible for a significant proportion of the energy consumption of the built environment, on which the occupant's pursuit of thermal comfort has a substantial impact. Regarding this concern, current software can assess and visualize the conditions. However; integration of existing technologies and real-time information could enhance the potential of the solution proposals. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explore new possibilities of how to upgrade building information modeling (BIM) technology to be interactive; by using existing BIM data during the occupation phase. Moreover, the research discusses the potential of enhancing energy efficiency and comfort maximization together by using the existing BIM database and real-time information concomitantly. Design/methodology/approach The platform is developed by designing and testing via prototyping method thanks to Internet of things technologies. The algorithm of the prototype uses real-time indoor thermal information and real-time weather information together with user's body temperature. Moreover, the platform processes the thermal values with specific material information from the existing BIM file. The final prototype is tested by a case study model. Findings The outcome of the study, Symbiotic Data Platform is an occupant-operated tool, that has a hardware, software and unique Revit-Dynamo definition that implies to all BIM files. Originality/value The paper explains the development of Symbiotic Data Platform, which presents an interactive phase for BIM, as creating a possibility to use the existing BIM database and real-time values during the occupation phase, which is operated by the occupants of the building; without requiring any prior knowledge upon any of the BIM software or IoT technology.
