Key Challenges
Digital Enterprise Research Institute                                           www.deri.ie

         Initially developed a Performance Framework Tool
                IFC based
                Encountered significant roadblocks with BIM
                Originally felt BIM was central pillar of performance assessment
                Recognise an as-built BIM is one of many pillars


         Technology and Data Interoperability
                Data scattered among different information systems
                Multiple incompatible technologies make it difficult to use
                Dynamic data, sensors, ERP, BMS, assets databases, …

Linked Building Data
Digital Enterprise Research Institute                                             www.deri.ie




         Linking building data builds context between systems
                Relevant information can linked together to build holistic views of the
                 building
                Broader context can be used in decision making


         Maintains loose coupling between systems
                Allows domain systems to focus on their expertise
                Allows systems to develop independently

  • #16: {PA)s can relate to one objectGranularityObserved in contextContextualised information for end user
  • #18: Need to pull information from across the enterprise, so you can understand energy use in context
  • #23: Technology Stack uses tool from across the DERI house
  • #25: Platform allows us to build very detailed energy management applications
