- PublicationSpecification and Implementation of IFC Based Performance Metrics to Support Building Life Cycle Assessment of Hybrid Energy Systems(2004-08-06)
; ; ; Minimising building life cycle energy consumption is becoming of paramount importance. Performance metrics tracking offers a clear and concise manner of relating design intent in a quantitative form. A methodology is discussed for storage and utilisation of these performance metrics through an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) instantiated Building Information Model (BIM). The paper focuses on storage of three sets of performance data from three distinct sources. An example of a performance metrics programming hierarchy is displayed for a heat pump and a solar array. Utilising the sets of performance data, two discrete performance effectiveness ratios may be computed, thus offering an accurate method of quantitatively assessing building performance.57 - PublicationSpecification of an Information Delivery Tool to Support Optimal Holistic Environmental and Energy Management in BuildingsBuilding performance assessment for the operational phase of a building’s life cycle is heuristic, typicallywork- ing from available historical metered data and focusing on bulk energy assessment. Building Management Systems are used in the operational phase of the building to con- trol the building’s internal environment according to the design criteria outlined during the design phase. Recent developments in mechanisms that communicate building performance such as standardised building per- formance objectives and metrics enable the use of the out- put from whole building energy simulation tools by non- technical personnel and all project stakeholders. This paper proposes to specify and demonstrate the utilisation of an Information Delivery Tool that supports optimum holistic environmental and energy analysis aimed at an established profile of building managers utilising standardised performance objectives and metrics
74 - PublicationBuildingPI: A Future Tool for Building Life Cycle Analysis(2004-08-06)
; ; ; Traditionally building simulation tools are used at the design phase of the building project. These models are used to optimise various design alternatives, reduce energy consumption and cost. Building performance assessment for the operational phase of a buildings life cycle is sporadic, typically working from historical metered data and focusing on bulk energy assessment. Building Management Systems (BMS) do not explicitly incorporate feedback to the design phase or account for any changes, which have been made to building layout or fabric during construction. This paper discuses a proposal to develop an Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) compliant data visualisation tool Building Performance Indicator (BuildingPI) for performance metric and performance effectiveness ratio evaluation.67
