Study on the Evaluation Method of Green Construction Based on Ontology and BIM

الملخص EN

Many problems and issues affect the green construction process.

Inaccurate assessment is one of the important factors for green construction.

The objective of this study is to propose a BIM and ontology-based approach that enables the evaluation information of green construction to be inferred from a knowledge base in order to achieve scheme optimization.

To automate the inference, this study established the BIM ontology that consists of BIM shared ontology and BIM construction ontology.

First, IFC extension is adopted in green construction assessment system to generate attribute sets.

IFC-based parameters stored in BIM models are mapped to OWL and will be used as the data source of the evaluation indicators.

Then, BIM-shared ontology and BIM construction ontology are defined.

Protégé is employed to simulate the evaluation indicator system.

Last, utilizing BIM knowledge base, through the construction of SWRL rule language and the Drools inference, the scores of evaluation indicators could be obtained.

The experimental results demonstrated that BIM knowledge base for the evaluation of green construction could realize the sharing, maintenance, and acquisition of knowledge among different participants of the project and improve the management of green construction.

The proposed ontological inference of evaluation item enables an automated search of the aspects needing improvements in green construction and assist project managers in using BIM data more easily and effectively.
