Abstract

The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming more and more state-of-the-art in the construction and real estate industries. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) has a major part in this field. The quality of MEP in the planning and the construction phase of a building is crucial for energy consumption and human comfort within the building. To benefit from the advantages of the BIM methodology, a high-quality data model is needed to ensure the availability of necessary information of a complete life cycle of a building. The Austrian research project metaTGA provides solutions for high-quality data models. The paper will provide information about: how do MEP openBIM data models need to look like? What are the major development steps of these models? How are they applied in a BIM project including first practical feedback? How does the process support quality measures for BIM projects?.
