Abstract

In the last few years, several researches have added new dimensions to the usual 3D BIM approach, progressively including information about construction time (BIM 4D), costs estimation (BIM 5D) and life-cycle management (BIM 6D). Nevertheless, a key factor such as the building’s interaction with its intended use and users is still under-represented by current BIM and IFC models: many users-related decisions are based on a set of average users requirements and on the assumption that, in this way, the future building will fulfil the needs of the majority of users. In this paper, we propose to include use’ and users’ semantics in current BIM representation, and to integrate it with the virtual simulation of the building use phenomenon. Its main objective is to provide a visualization of how the future building will actually be used and experienced, before stepping into its construction. This allows designers to test and evaluate the impact of their decisions on future users’ life and activities in the proposed built environment during the design phases, when it is still possible to intervene and improve the quality of the final product by solving critical issues and reducing time and costs.
