HKUST Analysis and Evaluation of Green Building Features Using Building Information Modeling FYP 06/2015 LO Lok
Kwok Hoi Ling Helen
The number of green buildings is growing rapidly worldwide and the construction of green building can be facilitated by Building Information Modeling (BIM), which also becomes popular in recent years. At the same time, increasing number of new and current buildings are getting certified as green buildings by energy codes.

The project aims to study the green features of the HKUST Jockey Club Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) building as it is designed to reduce energy consumption with daylighting. Lighting and space cooling are the two major annual electric consumption by while spacing heating is the major annual fuel end use. The energy simulation results reveal that similar simulation engine generates similar results.

Alternative designs are created to further improve the energy saving efficiency of the IAS building and are compared with the original IAS building. The best orientation for the IAS building is to be rotated 150o clockwise from the original position. The building should also have occupancy and daylighting sensors and controls installed. The curtain walls should be replaced by translucent wall panels (U-0.10, SHGC 0.06, Tvis 0.04). The results agrees with the potential energy chart which indicates window glass as the building features that has the greatest energy saving potential. It is recommended that to modify the IAS building with all three aspects to maximize energy reduction.

LEED and BEAM Plus Compliance are checked with alternative designs. Only the case with the IAS building model having translucent wall panels (U-0.10, SHGC 0.06, Tvis 0.04) and the combined case earn LEED EA 1 credits; whereas all cases mentioned above are eligible for BEAM Plus Section 4.1 EU 1 credits.

HKUST Risk Management in BIM Projects Report 06/2020 SIO Wai Lam
CHEONG Ka Yi
The objectives of the project are to identify the risks with high risk level and mitigation with higher effectiveness in BIM industry. The survey was conducted to collect the data of risks and mitigations adopted by different groups of people. Overall analysis, by-group analysis and cross-group analysis were performed.

Thus, the risks were analyzed and discussed with two approaches - level of consequence and level of probability. The level of risk was identified combining these two approaches. The assumption and resolution of identified risks were discussed. Mitigation strategies with higher appropriateness were identified and relevant comments were made.

It is found that the level of risk of C6 (Poor participation / contribution from project team in BIM adoption) and M1 (Lack of adequate expertise in BIM) are extreme, and are very high for risk T6 (Design conflict / clashes in BIM was not revealed / unresolved), C1 (Unclear requirements (e.g. EIR / AIR / contract) of BIM uses and specifications), C2 (Unclear roles, responsibility and liability in BIM implementation). As for mitigation strategy, it is found that mitigation #1 (Clear Employer’s Information Requirement) and #11 (BIM Education for Project Team) were mitigation strategies with the 1st and 2nd ranking in appropriateness/effectiveness. Mitigation can minimize risk C6, and mitigation #11 helps to mitigate risk M1.

HKUST Developing a Building Information Modeling Framework for Facility Management FYP 06/2017 LUK, Ka Yui
TING, Hok Lam
The sustainability of an infrastructure is of paramount importance to protect the benefits of both clients, engineers and its end-users. Building Information Modelling (BIM) therefore has become a vital tool for facility management (FM) to monitor the lifecycle of all building elements. Numerous of frameworks in the industry, however, are unable to locate and trace the asset information details of the building elements automatically for the asset management(AM) in the building lifecycle, especially the operation and maintenance stage. These existing frameworks highly rely on facility managers to locate the building elements and filter the information from a humongous database and carry out further data analysis for asset management strategies plan. Therefore, developing an integrated BIM framework to integrate the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and a FM software is essential for a more advanced facility management, especially the asset management performance of an infrastructure.

In this research, AM is focused and a BIM model of the HKUST library is established as our targeted infrastructure for framework scenario establishment. Numbers of RFID tags have been installed on various library assets to collect respective RFID elements data. A Structured Query Language (SQL) database has been created to store in MySQL and integrate the data of the RFID tags with a FM software, Archibus. A RFID Asset Management website has been established to filter and visualize the required data. Finally, a BIM-based framework for asset management has been attained. The research framework has been applied to a HKUST Library-based AM scenario and the results have proved its AM functions and reliability in enhancing the AM performance of an infrastructure.

HKUST Analysis and Evaluation of Green Building Features Using Building Information Modeling FYP 06/2016 KEUNG, Wun Ting Iris
WONG, Wing Man
There is a global trend of green buildings in recent years. As of 2011, there are over 10,000 green building projects certified by the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standard in the United States alone. In Hong Kong, the BEAM Plus green building standard developed by the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) in 2009 has certified over 200 projects in Hong Kong. Green buildings utilize various design features and operation technologies to reduce energy and water consumption, improve indoor environmental quality and increase building performance. This project aims to study the common green building features and evaluate them using building information modeling (BIM) and computer simulation techniques. In a BIM model, each building component has its properties, information and semantics, which support sophisticated simulation and analysis under different conditions. In this project, commonly adopted energy saving and indoor environmental quality improvement green building features will be modeled, evaluated, and compared. N.A.

There is a global trend of green buildings in recent years. The BEAM Plus green building standard developed by the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) in 2009 has certified over 200 projects in Hong Kong. Green buildings have utilized various design features and operation technologies to reduce energy, waste and water consumption, improve indoor environmental quality and increase building performance.

Facilities Management (FM) is the total management of all services that support the core businesses of an organization in a building. Nowadays, the design and structure of buildings are getting increasingly sophisticated and the need for specialization in management and maintaining them at high quality is vital. Facility managers have to acquire, integrate, edit, and update diverse facility information ranging from building elements, data, operational costs, room allocation, contract types, to maintenance. However, FM professionals have to face challenges resulting in cost and time related to productivity, efficiency and effectiveness losses. Building Information Modeling (BIM) seeks to integrate building lifecycle, provide improvements and help to overcome such those challenges.

Thus, the aims of this project is to explore how BIM can contribute to and improve the FM profession and develop a BIM-based framework that facilitates the facility operations and management process of civil infrastructure facilities. To explore the technical feasibility of the proposed approach, It aim the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Jockey Club Institute for Advance Study (IAS) as a target to implement and test, which is one of the world’s leading centers of research and intellectual inquiry, aiming to drive major advances and discoveries with its inter-disciplinary research locally and worldwide and establish itself as an international centre for excellence. For this purpose, the FM’s key tasks for indoor environmental quality improvement of green building features are identified and evaluated and a BIM model for the IAS building is developed and experimented by the FM tasks. As a result, such simulation helps shaping the vision, direction and policy for future energy and aviation systems.

HKUST Optimization of Occupant Thermal Comfort and Energy Consumption in HVAC Systems Using a BIM-Supported Computational Approach FYP 06/2019 LUK, Tsz Hin
SIU, Chun Fai
This project aims to analyse thermal comfort and indoor air quality (IAQ) in a lecture theatre where the HVAC system consists of a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system, Displacement Ventilation (DV) system, and Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) system. Based on the simulation result, a strategy is proposed to minimize electricity consumption while maintaining sufficient thermal comfort and indoor air quality to the occupant.

The analysis is conducted using Building Information Modelling (BIM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, and energy simulation software to simulate the airflow, temperature, CO2 concentration and energy consumption in different scenarios. Thermal comfort and IAQ are evaluated by comparing the simulated result to the international standards and local guidelines such as ASHRAE and HKIAQ. Autodesk CFD, Revit, eQUEST and EnergyPlus are used for the simulations in this project.

The simulation result shows that ventilation at the back of the lecture theatre is poor even though the air handling units run in full capacity. This project has found that changing the location of the inlet of supply air duct can significantly improve the ventilation at the back without increasing the electricity consumption. CFD simulation shows that even in 100% occupancy, the lecture theatre after modification fulfils the requirement of an excellent class according to HKIAQ’s objective.
