THE DIGITAL TWIN IN THE EXISTING BUILDING – WHAT IS DONE HOW AND WHAT DO YOU NEED?

In order to integrate the BIM method as intelligent building data modelling into building operations in a practical way, it is essential to network the 3D building model with existing information, a CAFM system such as FAMOS, sensor technology and IoT. This is the only way to create a digital twin, which creates a direct, virtual image and can fulfil many of the promises made by BIM. In existing buildings, the digital twin enables sustainable, process-optimised facility management through, for example, preventive maintenance planning and control or optimised space utilisation.

MODELLING BIM IN EXISTING BUILDINGS

Creating a virtual building data model during the operating phase or during renovation or modernisation is a particular challenge. In contrast to a new building, a lot of current data is not available, e.g. exactly which materials were used where and how, etc.

EXPERTISE THROUGH PRACTICE

In recent years, the Keßler Group has gained extensive expertise in the development and application of the digital twin in existing buildings through concrete practical experience (more below).

USEFUL PLANNING

Before creating a BIM model in the existing building, it is essential to seek advice in order to agree on a standardised measurement concept, an appropriate procedure and an appropriate scope of data collection and georeferencing. Established BIM as-built models should also be checked for up-to-dateness once a year by means of an inspection.

INTERFACE BETWEEN BIM AND CAFM

Autodesk® Revit® supports BIM and object-orientated work. The programme enables digital 2D and 3D models of properties that depict all the information of the originals. Via the bidirectional BIMflow interface for Revit, the FAMOS CAFM system offers you the option of integrating the models for a multidimensional, process-orientated view into the effective management of your buildings and facilities.

ADVANTAGES of the digital twin – USES of BIM in existing buildings

  •  Complete 3D visualisation of properties: from the surface area to the furniture to the installed technical building equipment
  •  Time-saving and convenient data maintenance as well as quick access to all data in one system for all trades
  • Utilisation of data in management processes, such as management of (rental) contracts, maintenance & repair management, energy & environmental management, tendering & service management
  •  Permanently increasing data quality through the standardisation of processes and the resulting process reliability
  • Virtual inspections, digital exposés and graphic conversion and relocation planning for refurbishment/modernisation, among other things
  • Securing competitive advantages in terms of future viability

Basis 1: COLLECTION OF REQUIRED DATA

Keßler Ingenieur Consult specialises in surveying and digitisation projects in all service phases (design, planning and construction) as well as in existing buildings. The BIM portfolio for surveying land, buildings or industrial plants includes measurement concepts according to AIA, data collection (own collection as well as integration of third-party data), digital terrain models (2D/3D), georeferencing, geodetic measurement methods with 3D laser scanning, terrestrial photogrammetry, optimisation for FM software and as-built documentation (e.g. determination of rental space, room books).

The company sister BCS GmbH offers further data acquisition services. Here too, a structured consultation and selection of the data to be digitised or checked for the first time takes place at the beginning: Recording of entire properties, individual properties, structural and technical installations, condition assessments and recording of installed IoT sensors or inventories. All required object types can be database-specific (Access, SQL, CAFM system), based on current guidelines (e.g. DIN 277, MFG, WoFIF), provided with QR codes and prepared in a CAD and BIM-compliant manner. The recorded data can then be used as the basis for an energy audit or a fire protection concept, for tenders or emergency property manuals, for example.

Basis 2: Using BIM in the operating phase

In recent years, the team at Keßler Solutions has gained practical experience in recreating a digital twin during the operational phase of a property. By consolidating external data (e.g. construction plans, order documents), self-collected as-built data and the correction or reconstruction of missing information, such as the addition of heights or sections to 2D plans for the 3rd dimension, simple to very compact models are possible, as the examples of Future Living® Berlin and the Keßler Solutions office show.

All data provides the basis for the various dimensions of the digital twin and thus for modern, sustainable and optimised management. The digitisation of building information not only supports current operations but can also be used for modernisation projects and conversions, regardless of whether it is used in a CAFM system.

Market research conducted by the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) in 2020 on the mobile management of occupational health and safety (“e-health and safety”) in Germany shows that digitalisation in the field of occupational health and safety has strong growth potential. For example, the research shows that not even 2% of the (202) ICT solutions analysed used qualification and training management, and even fewer used digital operating instructions*. These proportions have certainly changed since 2020 – simply due to the increased requirements with and since the pandemic. However, many companies and institutions have still not tapped into this potential.

In recent years, there have been numerous optimisations of the occupational health and safety product package from Keßler Solutions, e.g. for instructions, the implementation of risk assessments and the creation of print-ready operating instructions via FAMOSweb including new manuals and workbooks, the management of hazardous substances and integration into the sustainability department with a view to the EU’s CSRD Directive. The team is now working on a powerful tool for qualification management with the following focal points:

  • Fulfilment of legal requirements and guidelines with regard to staffing/appointment of appropriately trained personnel according to location/conditions and number of employees
  • Ensuring/documenting the qualification requirements
  • Identification of “qualification gaps”
  • Planning and documentation of training courses with participant and instructor management in advance and on site as well as issuing confirmation of participation/certificates
  • Timely planning of recurring inspections of driving licences and special permits (e.g. industrial vehicles, forklifts, certificates of good conduct, health pass)
  • Preparation of qualification certificates, e.g. in the area of hazardous substances and restricted areas

WANTED 1:
Practical partners for testing the new functionalities of qualification management

Companies and institutions are being sought as practice partners for the conceptualisation of the complex technical requirements for qualification management and for the test phase of the new functions. If you have experience in the field of qualification management and would like to manage the qualifications in your company using CAFM, we cordially invite you to expand our expertise with your specific practical experience.

Clarification of quantitative & qualitative requirements

  • Who is required to provide which statutory health and safety representatives?
  • What proof (training, qualifications, certificates) is required for which areas of deployment?
  • Which qualifications must be maintained for certain reference values (e.g. number of first aiders per insured person present)?
  • Which qualifications require special/official certification or an audit?
  • What deadlines/ rotations need to be observed for certain qualifications/certifications?

Transfer from practice to practice

  • How do the legal obligations work in practice?
  • Which experiences that the tool is supposed to reflect have been established in practice to date, which processes have proven to be useful?
  • Which qualification planning options (invitation, self-enrolment, etc.) are preferred in practice?
  • What types of qualifications and media should be supported (live or online qualification, integration of learning platforms, performance tests, etc.)?

WANTED 2:
Practical partner for conception and testing of an average management tool

The CAFM software FAMOS from Keßler Solutions manages a wide range of important information that is essential in the event of an emergency. This includes, for example, locations of fire extinguishers or first aid kits, responsible persons such as first aiders or radiation protection officers, internal or external service providers such as cleaning, property protection, lift technology or insurance as well as CAD plans such as evacuation plans or routing systems.

In the event of an emergency, it is essential that all relevant data is made available at a glance. Ideally, directly with specific instructions for action, for example:

  • What should be done in the event of which type of fault? E.g. water damage, fire, gas leak, risk of collapse, leakage of chemicals, failure of important technical building systems such as ventilation systems, etc.
  • What information should be made available? For example, contact details for crisis services and specific emergency numbers (e.g. poison emergency call), the 5 W’s for the emergency call (What, Where, How many injured, Which injuries, Waiting for enquiries).
  • When and how does an evacuation take place?
  • What special features are there in certain areas of the company?
  • Which authorities need to be informed?
  • How should damage be documented? For example, securing evidence for insurance issues, etc.

We are looking for practice partners with experience in operational emergency management to support the conceptual design and practical testing of our emergency management tool. Help shape the future general average dashboard – as a central overview for all relevant information in the event of an accident!

Are you interested in a partnership? Then simply get in touch with us!

Would you like to find out more about a practice partnership? Are you interested in optimising occupational health and safety processes based on your experience? Are you new to the topic of digital management of AuG? Then contact our Innovation and Product Manager Mr Marcus Mühlberg or your responsible project manager informally by 31.12.2023.
