Central Register Architects agree with UNIFI… Store building information centrally Use information for cross checking Eliminate the ”Silo” methodology Reduce Government administration
Issues with UK Energy NCM UK National Calculation Methodology... SAP/rdSAP and SBEM – open to interpretation by assessors No correlation with building layout No revision control No audit trail
More Information not Data Need to store more than energy data.... NCM Input Data is not fundamental information Information must relate to building floor plans Open for checking by all relevant parties, including enforcement agencies Graphical Interface
Examples of Major Issues Central Register in England and Wales… 65% of commercial property transactions have no EPC 72% of commercial EPC’s are invalid or fraudulent No mechanism to recover actual building information without a new assessment
A Worked Example This equals….
Which equals this which equals….
What should be stored? Repository or BIM database… Repository – stores flat documents, eg. PDF’s BIM – object orientated relational database model Eg. Area=40m2 or dimensioned L-shaped room
Benefits of BIM Building Information Model.... Industry Standard – no interpretation Full floor plan and 3D model via Graphical Interface Revision control Exports to other applications
Other controlled uses of BIM Browser access to Central register to supply.... Checks for conveyancing Calculation of accurate Business Rates Revision control for building alterations Building Regulation Interface
Experiences Examples of existing BIM implementations.... All public buildings in Sweden Scottish Local Authority Historic Scotland Links to University of Strathclyde building simulator
Summary Central Register for Scottish buildings.... Stores building as an industry standard BIM database Retrieve information via simple browser based graphical interface Holds attributes for multiple uses Accessible by all relevant parties
