INFORMATION MODELLING OF BUILDINGS AS AN INSTRUMENT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOCALITY

Michal Faltejsek

Abstract

Utilization of methods of building information modelling in the area of sustainable regional development becomes increasingly the topical issue with time. In many countries of Europe, this has even become part of their legislation. This article deals in particular with advantages and disadvantages related to utilization of the method of building information modelling in the process of decision-making on further exploitation of the region including monitoring its current state. At present time, there is sufficient information on various localities, not excepting brownfields, sufficient information necessary for the proposal of their further exploitation; however fragmentation of such information does not allow its effective administration, editing, and suggestion for subsequent utilization. Therefore the use of information modelling, which should lead to more effective management of all real assets, might be a great and mainly economic advantage for many owners or other entities responsible for building administration. In case of brownfields, we can alter the term information modelling of buildings to information management of buildings. The basis of BIM concept is the information and its effective use, administration, and updates. Its graphic output is a 3D model, which may tie up respective information and serves for presentation of the future regeneration form, simulations, and logistics. Each of these parts is an output of other information, and it is very important to process it adequately and consider its significance. However, no top quality regeneration proposal may arise without high-quality data handling. This contribution is supplemented with samples of BIM use in practice.
