  1. Development and Implementation of Automated Code Compliance Checking Insert name of event Insert location Insert name of instructor Insert date

  2. ICC Project Goal Automate code compliance checking for the I-Codes and Federal, state and locally adopted versions of those codes leading to…. …. enhanced communication, knowledge and collaboration …. more complete code complying designs …. more timely and accurate design acceptance and approval …. improved building safety and performance …. reduced construction costs

  3. Current Process

  4. Future Process

  5. Building Information Model Physical and functional characteristics of a building (data) in digital format • … a shared knowledge source or database of intelligent information about a facility • … stays with the building forever and is enhanced over time • … can be seamlessly maintained and used by all

  6. BIM software Arch, Struct, Eng Services Civ Eng Codes Standards, Regulations … VRML Visualisation 3D models Knowledge databases Company External Simulation Comfort Air, heating Lifecycle costs Light and sound Insulation Use Fire Environmental impact Life expectancy Functional description Functions Calculations Requirements Constraints Reuse Refurbishment Demolition Reconstruction FM Renting, sale and use Maintenance Warranty Description Inc cost estimates 4D Schedules Logistics Sourcing Product databases Price databases Interoperability IFC BIM IFC Source: Lars Bjorkhaug modified.

  7. Model Checking Software Software tools that can read a BIM and provide any number of different types of output related to the building and its systems as represented in the BIM Codes, rules and regulations in a format that allows them to be applied by model checking software to identify conflicts between the BIM and the codes, rules and regulations

  11. Project Overview • Dictionary – details associated with terms, properties and values that provide a basis for communication between SMARTcodes, MCS and BIM • SMARTcodes – A process and software for making codes and other criteria “smart” • MCS and BIM ASW – Availability of software that can apply SMARTcodes and can provide for “code checkable” BIMs

  12. Project Overview • BIM Gallery – Availability of BIMs for real buildings for demonstration and testing/validation purposes • Manual Code Search – Ability to address code questions directly in the absence of a BIM • Data Drill Down – Availability of information relevant to the application of the codes

  13. Project Overview • Communications – Outreach to and a pipeline for input from the building industry • Market Research – Facilitating market access to and use of SMARTcodes • Collaboration – Identification of and collaboration with relevant stakeholders, organizations and interested parties

  14. ICC Achievements to Date • Invested in SMARTcodes project • Created robust project plan to guide ICC efforts • Assembled ICC project team of ICC staff, private sector experts and public sector users • Established a task group of federal, state and local officials to guide project • Creating U.S. dictionary with CSI and participating in similar efforts globally

  15. ICC Achievements to Date • Developed a unique process, protocol and software to create SMARTcodes • Collaborated with other buildingSMART initiatives and interested parties • Demonstrated auto code check, manual code search and supporting data “drill down” for IECC • Conducting market research • Implemented robust communications plan

  16. Future Plans • Complete efforts on and make 2006 IECC SMARTcodes available • Conduct work to ensure BIMs will contain information to support, and model checking software can perform auto code checking • Continue creation of SMARTcodes until all key I-Codes are completed

  17. Future Plans • Facilitate availability of “smart” Federal, state and local amendments to I-Codes and referenced standards • Provide for manual search of SMARTcodes and availability of support information • Continue to collaborate with relevant initiatives and organizations
