Abstract:
The author discussed the integrated use of BIM with FM, IoT, and AI with six international experts in the panel discussion during the 5th International Technical Symposium on the Applications of BIM Technology in Design, Construction, and Real Estate Enterprise Collaborative Work. With the deep application of BIM technology, facility management has become the next hot spot for project owners. International experts also agree that the maximum return of BIM technology application should be the benefit in the project operation and maintenance stage, although many countries are still in the initial stage. IoT and AI technology are the key support of BIM for FM, but there are still many problems that need to be researched and improved, such as the reasonable and appropriate use of cutting-edge technology, the security problems brought by technological development, and the future system integration among intelligent infrastructures, buildings, and even autonomous cars.
