CONCLUSIONS

"a formalized digital description of an existing or planned building which can be used to fully simulate and communicate the behavior of the real building in its expected contexts".
  • Increased possibilities to build Virtual Worlds

  • design of new tools for communication

  • combination of adapted (partly redundant) knowledge representations

  • possibilities to introduce formal temporal building process properties

  • time to do some creative, bold, and holistic inceptions at both universities and industries

  • collaboration between universities and industries, both to construct and evaluate models of Virtual Buildings for the benefit of the end-users of the buildings and the building industry itself.

  • a continuos endeavor to develop end and refine the Virtual Building

  • We are all involved in a Continous change process and design the future together (with constant re-assessments). Great possibilities.
