Green2.0: Enabling Complex Interactions Between Buildings and People

Published:27 February 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

Professionals and researchers of the Architectural, Engi-neering & Construction (AEC) industry are challenged by the increasing complexity of designing, constructing and op-erating a building. This typically requires close cooperation of actors having different backgrounds and interests. Tra-ditionally, this cooperation happens in an ad-hoc way and information exchange occurs through conventional general-purpose communication channels, such as paper or email. This communication and collaboration process can be inad-equate and inefficient, as it makes room for many different interpretations, mistakes and errors and can eventually lead to schedule and cost alterations. We present Green2.0, a system that tries to leverage advancements in building in-formation modeling to facilitate the collaboration process. The system integrates energy-efficiency simulation tools, and methods for online social network analysis to enable a data-driven approach to building design, construction and operation. By sharing all information online, all project ac-tors can access relevant information when they need so that everyone can work efficient together. The system aims to advance the current state of the art by bringing about a fundamental shift in the way that AEC professionals work together throughout a building's lifecycle.
