A new approach for extending the possibilities of collaboration between BIM, GIS and Web environments to increase the efficiency of building space management

Abstract

The paper presents the approach that extends the opportunities of Web environments in BIM model processing and allows implementation of the bigger amount of analysis that is based on the object’s positioning. With the developed relations, the objects in the BIM model can be considered not just like independent 3D objects in the WebGL environment but as objects that are linked between each other and can act by the rules that defined to each type of the objects. Correlated co-ordinates will be useful for the architects, building operators and facility managers who use the BIM model for the management of the building and its components. This method can be used to increase the effectiveness of space management, clash detection, relocation management and space programming as well as existing conditions modelling and lighting analysis can be done in a way that is more efficient due to possibility of implementation of the survey coordinate system that will give the coordinates to each object in the scene.
