Sažetak
Facility management (FM) requires multidisciplinary
activities, and thus has extensive information
requirements. Much of that information is created during
the design, construction, and commissioning phases of a
project. Providing the owner of a facility with usable life
cycle asset information after construction has been a challenge
to the industry. Traditional methods of manually
inputting data into FM systems are time consuming and
error prone. Various automated approaches and workflows
continue to be developed to respond to specific owner
needs. This research developed a unique workflow that
uses Dynamo within Revit to automatically extract asset
management data from the model and export the data to
a proprietary format required by the facility owner. The
formatted spreadsheet allows for direct linking of the data
to the owner’s FM system, hence eliminating time wasted
in manual data entry and avoiding missing any maintenance
cycles that would result if the FM system is not populated
with critical information in a timely manner. This
article utilizes a case study approach to demonstrate this
novel Dynamo workflow. The required case study asset
data identified and captured include asset groups, their
properties and attributes, and corresponding metadata. A
basic three-dimensional representation of the facility and
all its equipment are modeled in Revit and asset data are
input to corresponding model elements. This article also
describes the complexity of the owner’s proprietary information
needs and the resulting automated workflow that
extracts and exports data from Revit into an Excel format
that can directly link into the FM system.
