Virtual Building Concept
- Not one non-redundant model, but overlapping representations of building products and processes
- multimedia interfaces with realistic access to underlying models
- efficient utilization of personal competencies through computer supported team collaboration
- possibilities for analyses of alternative solutions and re-design (access to temporal data)
- efficient, interactive building documentation (though be aware of long term storage problems)
- increased possibilities for project experience capture and re-use (accessible by all disciplines through the whole process)
- introduction of intelligent and responsive buildings in practice
The main enabling information technologies are
- efficient access tools to physical computer networks
- emerging standards/protocols for services on the Internet
- emerging object oriented distributed global operating systems
- multimedia (this includes virtual reality) interfaces in networked environments
- use of mixed and extended knowledge representations in networked environments
- reliable, cost effective and high capacity information storage devices and computer processing power.
