Knowledge‐Based Building Information Modeling
Through the use of features such as parametric modeling, object relational databases, and application programming interfaces (APIs), contemporary building information modeling (BIM) can easily become a viable platform to rationalize and formalize design heuristics. This chapter shows different approaches on how to use BIM software to support the capturing and deployment of design expertise and provide knowledge‐based design assistances embedded in computational design environments. It distinguishes between traditional practices in BIM or “vanilla BIM” and knowledge‐based BIM, which has a number of implications regarding design performance and is helping AEC organizations to document and reuse expertise they consider important for the development of their projects. This technology can also positively influence the workflows of design processes by pushing assessment capabilities upstream in the design process and reduce the number of design iterations and revisions. It will allow architects to gain a higher level of control over technical aspects of buildings.
