Potenziale und Herausforderungen von Building Information Modeling im Facility Management : Eine Fallstudie zur Untersuchung ausgewählter BIM-Anwendungsfälle mit Power BI

Abstract

Despite the potential benefits that Building Information Modelling (BIM) can offer in the operation and maintenance phase of buildings, BIM has so far mainly been used in the design and construction phase in the construction industry. Until now the use of BIM methods in FM inhibited by a lack of standards and uniform processes, among other things. Many companies are deterred by the high upfront costs for software, hardware and staff training. In order to promote the acceptance of BIM-based FM, low-threshold solutions are necessary. This thesis investigates the approach of using Power BI to facilitate targeted access to FM-relevant data of a BIM model and to link these with further data sources. With the help of a plug-in called Tracer, any data up to floor plan and 3D views can be extracted from a BIM model and integrated into Power BI dashboards. The case study conducted as part of this work shows that Power BI offers a solution approach to BIM integration that addresses some of the identified challenges. An expert survey confirms the user-friendliness, functionality and optimisation potential of the Power BI Dashboard solution for the processes considered.
