Veselka, J (2023) BIM data structure in the building optimization: Methodology for model development. PhD thesis, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic.
Abstract
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is already an integral part of the construction process in the Czech Republic and worldwide. The main barriers to implementation are gradually being removed, and these models are being used in more and more parts of the construction industry. Another way of use is environmental analysis, which is gradually moving from the field of research projects to everyday practice. This dissertation aims to summarize the current environmental issues in the global context of the construction industry, analyze the use of information models for these calculations in different parts of the life cycle, and summarize the potential for optimizing building design. The text divides the construction design process into three main stages: initial, advanced, and detailed construction design. These stages replicate the levels of study, construction permit documentation, and construction shop drawing / manufacturing documentation (SD/MD). The operational, demolition and recycling potential phases are also addressed. The focal point of the thesis is the methodological guidance for developing information models for each of these stages, including the specification of appropriate environmental data and options for optimizing the design of the building at this stage. Several Czech and foreign case studies from the research and commercial sphere complemented the theoretical part for all defined design phases. The remainder of the thesis is devoted to a summary of discussions on the results of the case studies, practice recommendations, and a subjective outlook on future developments in this area.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
