| Paper title: | Reverse propagation of data for building management |
| Authors: | Howard R W |
| Summary: | Lifetime data for the management of buildings is becoming more feasible and is now expected by more facilities managers. It should be possible to extract the data related to the building fabric and systems from that generated during design and construction. For this to be just what the users require and in the form they require it, depends upon their involvement at an early stage of a project. Reverse propagation can then enable their wishes to influence the data collected so that redundant data is not produced and does not cause confusion. New forms of procurement such as partnering, allow this early involvement; alternatively there must be standards to define the general form of management data. In Denmark the CIS-CAD system defines a simple format being tested on a series of projects. It extracts information needed for statutory authorities and management, and examples are given based on continuing experience of its use. The principles of reverse propagation are discussed and the trend in databases to allow input from both ends of the process. This will eventually allow a more precise and economic definition of the building model and core data needed for management. |
