Integration of information modelling to improve the performance of capital construction objects: modern approach and perspectives

Abstract

The paper deals with the integration of information modelling to improve the performance of buildings, basic concepts of the life cycle of buildings, modern approaches to building management and performance improvement at various stages of the life cycle. In modern conditions, information modelling technology (IMT) becomes the main tool to improve the performance of objects. Building performance parameters (BPP) — characteristics of the building, showing the evaluation of the object functioning in accordance with the established/set criteria. Modern approaches to the introduction of information modelling in operational processes are considered, such as: the use of digital twins, digital passportization, implementation of software solutions. The prospects of applying IMT for more accurate planning of preventive works, operative detection and elimination of faults, which leads to significant cost reduction at the operation stage, are also discussed in detail. It is important to specify that construction is improving and becoming fast every year, this leads to an increase in the number of commissioned real estate objects. The main reason for this rapid rate of growth is due to the integration of IMT into the life cycle stages of construction projects. The other side, which is negative and needs significant and deep elaboration and fresh ideas, is the enormously high costs during the operational phase, which is problematic to predict in most cases. Deficiencies in previous phases are activated and become more pronounced in the operational phase. IMT is an important process in all phases of the life cycle, in the operational phase the value of this technology lies in the data that carries up-to-date information about the project and in the increased level of integration of work with it.
