BIM-Enabled Building Commissioning and Handover
Building commissioning is one of the most effective means to ensure the building systems and equipment will perform as designed in its lifecycle when handed over for operation. Current practice of commissioning is labor intensive and the commissioning deliverables are heavily 2-D documents and images that are inefficient and ineffective to utilize in operation and maintenance of the building. The research thus looked at BIM as a facilitator for a more viable approach for building commissioning. Per its definition, BIM is a lifecycle information repository of a construction project. With a project delivery embedded commissioning scenario, this BIM-enabled commissioning facilitated the commissioning process at each phase of the project lifecycle by accomplishing critical commissioning tasks, empowering enhanced project team collaboration and streamlining commissioning documentation generation. Two case studies were given at the end to demonstrate the best practices in the industry that used BIM for building commissioning and handover.
