Geo-information Support
To ensure effective operation, maintenance, and management of buildings and structures and their technologies, it’s necessary to store and share all available current and relevant information regarding:
- Buildings and facilities in terms of their structure – clear identification of buildings and facilities and their parts, features, etc.
- Structural design of buildings and structures, their openings, fillings, and surface coverings
- Condition of structures
- Building and structure technology
- Utilization of structures and buildings and their parts
- Status and operation of technologies
- Energy and media usage
- Other critical information
Since sites, buildings, and structures are always situated in the same specific, permanent location on the Earth’s surface, it has proven very useful to record their spatial context (shape and location in relation to Earth’s surface). All information about buildings and structures can then be easily integrated with information about neighboring and other related buildings and structures, as well as other information about further facilities and occurrences in the surrounding world which have a spatial context. The information related to the buildings and structures and their operation can be effectively displayed and analyzed on 2D and 3D maps.
