Automated IFC-based building information modelling and extraction for supporting value analysis of buildings

The value of a building is quantified and analyzed based on its properties. Building information modelling (BIM), which allows for rich representation of building properties, creates an opportunity to conduct value analysis automatically. To support automated value analysis, there is a need to identify and extract value-specific design information (i.e. relevant and sufficient information for value analysis) from a BIM model and utilize this...
