Connected BIM

Connect BIM models with operational and sensor data for cost optimization

Based on data trends, ML models are created to predict patterns and trigger alerts when anomalies occur.

Connected BIM

Why connect sensor data to the BIM model?

Real-time transparency

Temperature, air quality, energy usage, levels, and incidents are visualized directly in the model — by room, zone, or system.

Faster troubleshooting

Instead of a generic alert, the model shows exactly where the issue is, which zone and system are affected, and what to inspect.

Efficient energy management

Identify high-consumption areas, heating outside business hours, and optimization opportunities at a glance.

Optimized facility management

Teams see equipment locations, maintenance intervals, and historical issues inside the model, making operations more predictable.

Predictive maintenance

Long-term sensor data reveals patterns before pumps, fans, or elevators fail — enabling action before downtime.

Better decision-making

A live BIM model is understandable for all stakeholders and supports data-driven investment decisions.

What is BIM?

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a methodology that represents a building as a digital 3D model enriched with all relevant information.

  • Geometry (rooms, walls, doors, technical systems, piping)
  • Materials, costs, and lifecycle data
  • Technical systems (heating, ventilation, elevators, etc.)

BIM is not a single tool. It is a shared digital information space where architects, planners, operators, and service providers collaborate.

FAQ

What is BIM? v
BIM is a digital methodology that models a building in 3D and enriches it with information such as materials, systems, and costs.
How is BIM different from classic 2D plans? v
2D plans are drawings only. BIM includes quantities, technical data, lifecycle values, and costs, and updates all views automatically when changes occur.
Who benefits from BIM? v
Owners, operators, architects, engineers, and facility managers all benefit by working on a single source of truth.
What are the advantages for owners and operators? v
Better cost and space transparency, fewer planning conflicts, stronger early-phase decisions, and more efficient operations and maintenance.
What is a digital twin in BIM? v
A digital twin is a digital replica of the real building enriched with live data such as sensor readings, energy usage, and equipment status.
Why connect sensors to BIM? v
It enables spatially accurate insights, faster issue localization, energy optimization, and predictive maintenance.
Is BIM only for new buildings? v
No. Existing buildings can be modeled from drawings, laser scans, or point clouds, making BIM valuable for portfolios and renovations.
