Development of openBIM-based Quality Checking System for Evacuation Regulation Application

A Building Information Model (BIM) serves as a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming and a reliable basis for decision making during its life-cycle from inception onward. BIM technology accomplished quantitative development to be utilized in various disciplines. However, it is necessary to develop environment and requirement for qualitative improvement of BIM based project. Particularly, regulation information is an important factor for initial architectural design evaluations. Through BIM-based automated regulation check process, designer and owner can reduce errors, time and inefficient use of human resources. The purpose of this study is to develop an automated system that designer and owner can check the legality of BIM data in the process of BIM quality check. In this study, the scope of applied regulation information is confined to evacuation regulation. To achieve this purpose, the authors have investigated a case study of openBIM-based regulation system and presented scenario for development of evacuation regulation checking system. Finally, the authors developed SMC API based evacuation regulation checking system in this study.
