BIM-based Building Performance Monitor

This video presents a set of visualization techniques for displaying real-time building behavior and usage, for the purposes of energy minimization, in the context of a semantically-rich building information model. Ambient occlusion shading is used to visualize the 3D space of the building, over which other visualizations may be layered. Specifically, occupancy, power usage, heat sources, air flow, and temperature are presented, as well as aggregated data sets such as “activity”. 1. OVERVIEW Real-time building performance monitors, that visualize information collected from sensors distributed throughout a building, typically show the raw data values as simple text labels on 2D floor plans. This video shows how the sam
