Abstract:
| With the widespread use of personal computers and the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems by architectural offices, communication and sharing between team members have improved. Supporting the development of the production of architectural drawings, CAD systems carried the design documentation to a higher level. Today, the importance of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology is increased, and various BIM software are being developed by computer-aided design application providers. BIM is a system that is used effectively in all processes of projects to increase the quality and speed of interdisciplinary communication and to offer the most suitable product for the end-user. BIM models the relations of the elements with each other based on the elements that form the building. In a BIM model, a virtual model of the building is created by bringing together the elements belonging to the building. Since the virtual model includes all building elements and their different qualities, the model contains energy, lighting, etc information. It can be used in physical and structural analysis, detecting conflicts that will occur during the construction process, and in multi-dimensional simulations. To achieve this usage, the required data types, characteristics, and names must be represented correctly. Building models that have been verified in this way play an important role in the execution of many automated tasks, such as regulation compliance checks. EXPRESS Language is known as the standard data modeling language of BIM. EXPRESS models can be processed with a computer. There are regulations developed to ensure the comfort conditions of architectural projects. While these regulation articles are audited with traditional methods, this method may cause losses in terms of time, cost, and quality. This study shows how to use the EXPRESS Language to check the compliance of an architectural product with the regulation. In this sense, EXPRESS Language, BIM, Primary School Regulations, BIM Classification Systems, and ISO 10303 standards have been researched. Regulations for primary schools are defined by EXPRESS Language. Three primary school projects created in the BIM environment were taken as an example and tested with JSDAI software in the computer environment. |
