TECHNOLOGY 4.0 FOR BUILDINGS MANAGEMENT: FROM BUILDING SITE TO THE INTERACTIVE BUILDING BOOK

Abstract

The main result of the research that we intend to illustrate is the connection between the contents of 4.0 Industry (Ciribini 2018), and the information sharing with BIM design (Lucarelli 2018), through the insertion into a single data container (black storage box), of all the sensors inherent to the entire building process, to monitor the building from the early construction phases and obtain a precise history about it. The goal is to create an "As Built" model flanked by the interactive digital building book, capable of an automatic upgrade depending on the variation of the monitored data during the useful life of the building.

The aim of this project is to exploit the use of IoT (Gabriele 2015), for the data communication to the black box (Smart Monitoring Building Box – SMBBox) installed in the building from the beginning of the construction site, in order to initially monitor the status work progress and safety management on site, and subsequently, thanks to the combination with the BIM model for data management, it will be possible to digitize the physical and functional characteristics of the case study object.

The methodological approach is based on the following steps: BIM modeling; sensor design and installation and data container; data collected updating; "As Built" model creation; Interactive building Drafting. This method is being carried out on a restricted building located in the historic center of L'Aquila, subject to seismic improvement as a result of the damage caused by the 2009 earthquake.
