Development of BIM Tool for Classroom Space Utilization Assessment in University.
Keywords:
Building Utilization Efficiency, Classroom Efficiency, Building Information Modeling (BIM)Abstract
The university has established a development guideline for the integration, development and administration of the physical environment of the buildings, structures and different areas in order to promote learning. According to the announcement of the Ministry of Education, higher education institutions are to evaluate the building utilization efficiency and submit the report. However, the amount of data used in the analysis is large and complicated. There is no linking of all data among departments and the evaluation is time-consuming. In this research, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been developed to help assess the efficiency of building utilization. The process has been divided into 4 phases: first, the preparation of the database, displays, and BIM; second, the setting of database and links; third, report of the analysis of building utilization efficiency at the faculty/office levels; and fourth, suggestions for increasing the efficiency of building utilization. The program developed links between the BIM and the database, which helps reduce redundant work and increase the efficiency of data usage in BIM, as well as reducing the time for evaluation.
