Discover the BIM IoT integration in usBIM

View sensor data on the model in real time and manage large IoT ecosystems with a dedicated dashboard

usBIM.IoT uses the information-driven signals coming from the IoT sensors distributed across the building asset forming an automatic association between the physical IoT device and its digital twin.

All data recorded by the sensors is sent to the application which analyses and views real-time information directly on the BIM model available in the IFC format.

The BIM model "comes to life" by changing its characteristics according to the data each sensor transmits.

Real-time visual changes on the digital twin within BIM (based on the values of the physical device) allow a timely control even on large environments with tens of thousands of devices.

Enriching the BIM model with information from the IoT set-up allows you to visualise and manage large IoT ecosystems.

Thanks to the three-dimensional model and the federated visualisation system offered by BIM, you get a breakdown into subsystems and top-down navigation of the IoT ecosystem.

FAQ: BIM and IoT

What is a BIM IoT platform?

It is a system that integrates the BIM model with IoT devices, linking each physical sensor to its digital twin in the model. Data collected by the sensors is transmitted in real time and displayed directly on the three-dimensional model, transforming BIM from a static representation into a dynamic monitoring system.

How does BIM and IoT integration work?

The platform uses the information contained in the BIM model to automatically associate the physical IoT device with its digital twin. Data recorded by the sensors is sent to the application in real time, where it is collected, analysed and displayed on the BIM model in IFC format.

What is the difference between BIM, IoT and Digital Twin?

BIM is the digital information model of the asset; IoT is the network of sensors and devices that collect data from the physical world; the Digital Twin is the dynamic model created by combining the two, updated in real time with the values transmitted by physical devices.

Is sensor data displayed on the BIM model in real time?

Yes: the model "comes to life" by changing its characteristics according to the values transmitted by each sensor, with real-time visual changes to the digital twin based on the status of the physical device.

How many IoT devices can be managed with a BIM IoT platform?

The platform enables precise control even across large IoT ecosystems with tens of thousands of devices, thanks to their breakdown into subsystems and the top-down navigation provided by the BIM federated visualisation system.

In which format is the BIM model displayed?

The model is displayed in IFC format, the open standard for exchanging BIM information, allowing IoT data to be viewed directly on the model without being tied to proprietary software.

What are the benefits of BIM-IoT integration throughout the building life cycle?

Documented benefits include improved construction site logistics, safety management, energy savings optimisation, improved building performance and predictive maintenance, thanks to the real-time connection between collected data and the model.

What types of sensors can be integrated with the BIM model?

Temperature, humidity, pressure, consumption and system operating status sensors can be integrated. Applied projects have also used triaxial accelerometers, thermocouples and displacement sensors for structural monitoring.

Is BIM IoT integration also suitable for large buildings and large-scale management?

Yes: the three-dimensional model and federated visualisations enable top-down navigation of the IoT ecosystem and its breakdown into subsystems, making it possible to manage portfolios comprising multiple buildings.
