HKUST Creating a Connected Digital Twin of HKUST Campus for Smart Campus Facility Management FYP 06/2020 FONG, Tsz Yan
KONG, Yu Hin		 Experts in engineering defines BIM as a representation of a digital twin which is a virtual replica of a physical system (Marr 2017). A digital twin provides rich semantic and geometric information for facilitating construction and FM processes. Through Facility Management Systems (FMSs) and Building Management Systems (BMSs) linked with sensors, information can be garnered to support building FM. FMS or BMS is a computer-based system installed in offices or buildings ensuring that all buildings are structurally sound and serviceable.

In this research, we initially plan to incorporate two common FM software, namely ArchiBUS and Maximo with the HKUST FM system for the sake of maximizing the FM effectiveness and facilitating FM process. However, we did not get either one of the licenses of both software, so it turns out that we have to use other machine learning set of tools to do predictions for our library. The specific goals were (1) to build a machine learning model to perform temperature forecasting; (2) to make suggestion on the operative temperature of AC in library to ensure thermal comfort; (3) to provide common campus FM capabilities by setting up and demonstrating tailor-made user interfaces by using Power BI.

HKUST Optimization of HVAC Systems for Improved Indoor Air Quality and Occupant Thermal Comfort Using a BIM-Supported Computational Approach FYP 06/2020 CHEUNG, Hing
SO, Wai Hin		 Air pollution problems are getting more serious and rapid in recent years. Its impacts affect us greatly in many aspects like climate changes, causing health problems and the consequences of increasing the economic burden. In 2016, there is an estimated 4.2 million premature deaths caused by bad air quality in the world. Instead of the long-term exposure effects, short term exposure to air pollutants such as PM10 and NOx will also be irritant to people which cause sneezing, headaches and dizziness, etc. Therefore, there is an urgent need to seek methods to alleviate the problems. However, the effects of air pollutions to the people cannot be determined simply since the amount of air pollutants will be different in different locations and time. To tackle this problem, it is suggested to analyze the data provided by the real-time estimation of people’s exposure to the air pollutants. Based on a given indoor environment with different HVAC components, the indoor air quality can be simulated by the aid of Building Information Technology (BIM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Hence, the simulation result can be interpreted and used for the optimization of HVAC systems for a better indoor air quality (IAQ).

This report presents the research conducted on the application of BIM to HVAC systems for optimizing the IAQ. Analysis of the application of BIM and the detailed operation of HVAC systems to explore how BIM-supported computational approach can optimize HVAC systems for improved indoor and thermal occupant comfort (Aktiengesellschaft). TAL building in Jordan was selected as the target area of this report and act as an example. The site visit of the building is conducted and its daily operation and building systems are analyzed and evaluated. After that, building of BIM model of TAL building has started. With the usage of Autodesk Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we tried to simulate the actual indoor environment of TAL building. Before running the simulation, the calculating of different boundary conditions of the model and the construction of BIM model in CFD are conducted. The process of them will be described in this report. After reporting the progress, the result of simulation will be shown and further analysis and evaluation will be conducted through the interpretation of the simulation results.		 N.A.
