Facility Management / Building Automation
- What It Is
-
Mechanism for allowing pertinent information from the model to be extracted and used in the owners’ computer-aided facilities management (CAFM) software program/s and building automation systems.
- Why It’s Better
-
The facility manager no longer needs to input data manually from 2D documents, such as room boundaries, areas, number and descriptions, and allows them to automatically pull that data from the model into their CAFM program.
- The Benefit
-
The owner’s facility manager realizes a reduction in manual effort, as well as frustration, from gathering data from disparate, multiple design sources. Information gathering to operate their facility management system is now simplified and consistent. The owner gains a single source of information for recordkeeping and building maintenance and automation.
