Impact of building information modeling on facility maintenance management

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been a popular buzzword with architects, engineers and contractors (AEC) for a number of years and is now starting to be used by many stakeholders in different aspects of the building lifecycle. BIM is not only changing the way we design and construct a building but is also changing the way a facility is operated and maintained. Today s buildings are not just an assembly of component structures but a combination of passive and active interacting systems. The building components have composite behaviour attributable to its occupants and the external environment which has an impact on performance.La mod\ue9lisation de l?information sur le b\ue2timent (BIM) est depuis plusieurs ann\ue9es d\ue9j\ue0 une expression tr\ue8s \ue0 la mode parmi les architectes, les ing\ue9nieurs et les entrepreneurs. Elle se r\ue9pand maintenant chez de nombreux intervenants et \ue0 divers aspects du cycle de vie des b\ue2timents. La BIM non seulement modifie pr\ue9sentement la fa\ue7on dont nous concevons et construisons les b\ue2timents, mais elle change \ue9galement les modalit\ue9s d?exploitation et de maintenance des installations. Les b\ue2timents d?aujourd?hui ne sont pas qu?un simple assemblage de structures constituantes mais plut\uf4t une combinaison de syst\ue8mes interagissants passifs et actifs. Les composants d?un b\ue2timent ont un comportement composite qui est tributaire de ses occupants ainsi que de l?environnement externe, lequel influe sur la performance.Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
