Abstract
This research investigates how COBie can be used in Taiwan’s intelligent buildings. COBie is a format for exchange of building life cycle information and is used to deliver the facility information to owners for the purpose of maintenance and operation. Also since 2003, Taiwan’s AEC industry started to adopt intelligent buildings certification which is established by the Architecture and Building Research Institute in Taiwan. The intelligent buildings certification evaluates the design of the intelligent buildings’ project using eight indices, including facility management index which requires a building to have a management system for controlling and monitoring all the equipment and systems in the building. Because the intelligent buildings have to integrate much information for building maintenance and operation, using COBie can provide an effective way to help the designer, contractor and owner to collect the information. In this study, by using the first intelligent building’s BIM model and information in National Taiwan University as an example, the research objective to develop a workflow for applying COBie in intelligent buildings and analyze the benefit of using COBie. The result shows that using COBie could significantly facilitate information exchange. In addition, this study provides BPMN procedures for application of COBie to intelligent building’s life cycle information collection.
