Abstract

Many buildings have been monitoring and collecting large amounts of data related to building energy. However, these building energy data are not being used to achieve building energy reduction in buildings under operation. In order to manage efficiently the building energy information about the building energy, this study suggests an extended data model based on a BIM based design model (gbXML). Currently, the BIM model cannot represent the dynamic information related to the building energy in the operational stage. In this study, we suggest an extended data model and integrate the model to a database and the measurement devices of a building using an external coupling program (i.e. BCVTB). A case study for an integrated data management system is performed in an actual building equipped with a building energy monitoring system. This study shows that the extended data model can manage building energy information in both design and operational stages more efficiently.
