CREATION OF DIGITAL BUILDING DOCUMENTATION BY THE BUILDING TRADE

Abstract

For the sustainable and efficient use of buildings, the construction and real estate industry needs the relevant data for the operation of the installed building products and technical systems. In the course of digitization in the construction industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a promising solution for this, which can be used to link product information with a 3D data model, among other things. In Germany, the building trade plays a central role in the creation of building documentation. Efficient and sustainable building documentation contributes to the achievement of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, making documentation even more important. In the course of this, the topic of sustainability in the construction industry is assigned greater importance, as concrete templates must also be created for the documentation and evaluation of construction products from a sustainable point of view. As part of the research project "BIM Use Cases in the Building Trade", templates for creating building documentation are being developed in collaboration between the BIM Institute at the University of Wuppertal, the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation IFF and a total of 14 practice partners. These can then be used by public clients as a basis for client information requirements. In addition, an advanced training concept for the building trade is being developed, which can be used to create model-based building documentation with high efficiency
