Benefits of Implementing Building Information Modeling for Healthcare Facility Commissioning
Perhaps no other building types benefit more from Building Information Modeling (BIM) than healthcare facilities, in which the coordination of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems is a challenging effort for all parties involved in the project. Research has been developed and focuses on the multitude of benefits resulting from using BIM in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) process of healthcare facilities. BIM provides detailed information for decision-making and facilitates information exchanges between different parties in Design and Construction phases. Project commissioning is essentially a communication and validation process that begins as early in the building acquisition process as possible and continues through owner occupancy. The benefits of adopting BIM in healthcare facility commissioning will be discussed throughout this document. A case study of Mary General Hospital (MGH) follows to help illustrate the benefits that have been brought about using BIM in the commissioning process.
