HHMI S QUEST FOR FACILITY DATA INTELLIGENCE BIM WITHOUT THE 3D

ABOUT HHMI JANELIA FARM RESEARCH CAMPUS HHMI founded in 1953 by the Howard Hughes Nation s largest non-profit medical research organization and largest private supporter of academic biomedical research, with ~ $16 B in assets Supports ca. 330 HHMI Investigators and their labs in host institutions, plus 55 Lab Heads and their teams at JFRC Supported the work of 23 Nobel Laureates to date Completed in 2006/7, JFRC comprises 20 buildings with 1.1 million sq.ft. of floor space, situated on 689 acres Mini campus, with 500,000 sq.ft. research building, conference hotel and 200 living units, as well as 3 leased office buildings
CURRENT FACILITY MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CHALLENGES Laboratory building fit out constantly evolving ensure that the building is 100% mission capable for Janelia s science, whatever that science may be Highly demanding research environments Maintain EM areas to ΔT 0.5 F for multiple months in face of all exterior challenges BAS with >35,000 data points Buildings are 7 years old, and beginning to show first signs of wear and tear Project handover done in the traditional manner Pallet load of binders and drawings Required information standards on critical systems not well defined Limited information receiving infrastructure put in place Information not easily to hand and certainly not easily searchable Information increasingly disparate as subsequent fit out projects have proceeded at rapid pace
CURRENT FACILITY DATA INFRASTRUCTURE Systems CMMS Accruent 360Facility BAS Siemens Apogee Space /Move Management FM:Systems Facility Condition Assessment: iplan Construction: BIM360 Engineering information Drawings in hard copy, PDF and DWG on site servers Documents in binders by project / trade / contractor Materially hampered in translating this information into intelligent FM information by inaccessible, poorly structured and at times invalid engineering information Probably not very different from many facilities
A DATABASE APPROACH AS A BASIS FOR DATA INTELLIGENCE Began investigating database solutions in 2011and became aware of BIM (Building Information Modeling) through our architect partners Saw the database underlying a BIM as a means of: Addressing our need to update, organize, classify and make readily available (e.g. searchable) information to all constituents Providing a sound engineering platform for future project work Currently focused on the I in BIM, and not the 3-D GUI aspect
A DATABASE APPROACH AS A BASIS FOR DATA INTELLIGENCE BIM-focused General Contractor delivery of documentation via a project-specific FTP site is in effect a distributed electronic pallet of binders and drawings Needed own PM- and FM-capable database above the BIM databases to integrate and manage information from ongoing disparate projects Information about an AHU in Townhome A-2 (2007) may well be relevant to the AHUs in Apartment Building A (2011) and Apartment Building B (2014, in construction) Partnered with EcoDomus to develop and provide this capability Significant support from our IFM service provider, JonesLangLaSalle and our GC, Skanska USA
A DATABASE APPROACH AS A BASIS FOR DATA INTELLIGENCE Utilize open industry standards as far as possible to avoid being locked into one vendor relationship the untenable costs of creating custom software Utilize COBie for collecting project data as it becomes available and storing it in a normalized, common dataset Enables data quality control due to standardized datasets Facilitates rapid upload of handover data into CMMS / CAFM in hours rather than months Utilize open classification systems such as OmniClass Table 23 and (to a lesser extent) Table 21 Construction lens vs. FM lens

OVERALL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Make business case to top management Demonstrate that we can effectively and beneficially run a greenfield project from design through to FM handover in a BIM environment Pilot: Relatively simple, low risk 117,000 sq.ft. apartment building Demonstrate that we can cost-effectively and beneficially (a)as-build and collate engineering documentation into a BIM database (b)utilize the above to materially improve our operations and maintenance capability (c)utilize the above as a platform for future engineering work Pilot: Mission-critical chilled water and cooling tower water system down to all in-line valves and instruments Multi-year implementation system-by-system
COST EFFECTIVE MODELING / DATABASE DEVELOPMENT PERCEIVED VALUE IS VERY MUCH USER-DRIVEN AN OPERATOR OF CRITICAL SYSTEMS MAY WELL SEE MORE VALUE IN A MORE COMPLEX MODEL AND ASSOCIATED DATABASE THAN MIGHT AN APARTMENT BUILDING OPERATOR
85/15 DATABASE IMPLEMENTATION Focus on information needed to support FM where ~85% of building lifecycle costs are incurred Take into account the needs of other data systems such as CMMS and contractor QC systems: CMMS need for a unique asset identifier Operations team need for meaningful asset identifiers on the floor Construction team need to barcode and tag building components Utilize traditional System-Type-Sequential Number tags even though BIM and EcoDomus databases don t really need them
85/15 DATABASE IMPLEMENTATION Define Asset Types The BIM objects we care about Define Building and Site Systems FM people tend to treat buildings as collections of interlocking systems Understanding system components and interactions is a critical element of FM Define Naming Conventions for Asset Types and Components Define Required Attributes for Types and Components The information we care sufficiently about to want it to be in the model / database Searchable vs. linked information Define Documentation Categories Project viewpoint vs. FM viewpoint Define Impacts both upstream and downstream
