Abstract

An IFC-based data conversion algorithm was developed to automatically convert BIM model data to gbXML format for building performance information sharing. The IFC and gbXML data were mapped and related in an automatic conversion algorithm. The algorithm was validated with different project data sets to show that the algorithm allows performance information sharing among different stakeholders by eliminating reworking of the data models and improving efficiency.

Key words
