Contents • History • Organization, mission, scope, positioning • Projects • eConstruct • ICCI and ROADCON • iBuild • Other projects • Evaluation, conclusions, future TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
History • Round 1986: start of TNO Bouwinformatica (= TNO Computer Integrated Construction) • CAD, Data Exchange, Product Modelling, ISO STEP, General AEC Reference Model (GARM, 1988) • EU-projects • 1990-1995 IMPPACT, ATLAS, COMBINE, PISA, MARITIME, • 1996-2000 VEGA, CONCUR • 2000-2004 eConstruct, ICCI, ROADCON • 2005-2008 SWOP, MANUBUILD, …. • PhD-projects • Böhms, De Waard, Luiten, Krom, Bakkeren, Willems, Van Nederveen, Schevers TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
Organization (2001-2004) Dept of Building Process Innovation (35 persons) Policy, Planning and Decision Support Team Design Support Team Chain Integration Team Building Code Team TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
Mission, scope, positioning Mission: Support multi-disciplinary design processes, using methods and tools, in order to help clients with better processes and/or better designs. Scope and themes: • Multidisciplinary design and LC-integration • Model-based design • Early design Positioning: • Product modelling tradition • Similarities with functional design/rational design and systems engineering approaches • Alexander, Eekels, etc TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
Project: eConstruct • EU-project, 2000-2002 • E-commerce and e-business in construction • “Building and Construction XML”: bcXML • Demonstration system: Contractor buys doors from Door Suppliers TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
Projects: ICCI and ROADCON • Interrelated EU-projects, 2001-2004 • ICCI: co-operation and joint dissemination of 6 existing EU-projects on ICT for Construction • ROADCON: vision and roadmap for ICT in Construction TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
Project: iBuild • Joint initiative with Willems Van Den Brink Architects and EDC Consultants • “Mass Customization in Residential Building” • Integrated system, controlled by Customer, with automated: • Building performance analysis • Code-checking • Visualisation and VR • Industrial Production Data • Big marketing effort • Research under pressure TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
Other Projects • Object Trees • For railway projects • VISI • Communication in Civil Engineering • ASVB • ICT Architecture for ambitious construction enterprise • Demand Support by Virtual Experts • PhD-project Hans Schevers • Strategic Design • Knowledge Centre for Buildings and Systems • IFCs, Ontologies and Semantic Web TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
Evaluation, Conclusions, Future • Difficulty to reach Practice • TNO Reorganisation + poor financial performance 2004 => (formal) end of Design Support team + staff reduction • Still Plans and Ambitions: • Multi-disciplinary design, • Supported by IFCs, ontologies and semantic web, • iBuild • EU-projects • PSI Bouw: value engineering approach (De Ridder) TNO Building Environment and Geosciences
