Development of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is assisting engineers with automating design/construction processes in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Lack of such a comprehensive decision-making framework which utilizes BIM, Management Information Systems (MIS), simulation, and automation tools to choose between different construction alternatives have been addressed in the research background. As an example of decision-making objective, optimized smart building's equipment combination for a certain project should be selected in the feasibility study phase. In this research, a comprehensive decision-making framework was developed to choose smart building's equipment based on energy consumption and cost trade-off. Subsequently, smart building alternatives were considered as a decision-making example to choose the best alternative using BIM, MIS and simulation tools. The research contributes to the automating of some parts of the decision-making framework by developing an Application Programming Interface (API). This API helps with making the appropriate automating permutation out of possible options, totalizing the cost of each combination and sorting data in the research database developed for the recommended framework. This framework, database and API can be used similarly for any other decision making objective. Finally, a model representing the average conditions of residential buildings in Tehran was developed to choose the optimized smart building's equipment combination of 31 considered options. This optimized combination which included all possible smart building options except for smart lighting has an investment return of about 7.5 years which is more than that of similar projects in other countries due to Iran's low energy carrier tariff.

使用BIM和MIS基于能耗和成本权衡选择智能建筑设备的决策框架
建筑信息模型(BIM)的开发正在协助工程师在建筑,工程和建筑(AEC)行业中自动化设计/施工过程。在研究背景中已经解决了缺乏利用BIM,管理信息系统(MIS),模拟和自动化工具在不同施工方案之间进行选择的综合决策框架的问题。作为决策目标的示例,应在可行性研究阶段选择针对特定项目的优化智能建筑设备组合。在这项研究中,开发了一个综合的决策框架来根据能耗和成本权衡选择智能建筑的设备。后来,智能建筑替代方案被视为使用BIM,MIS和模拟工具选择最佳替代方案的决策示例。该研究通过开发应用程序编程接口(API)为决策框架某些部分的自动化做出了贡献。该API有助于从可能的选项中进行适当的自动排列,总计每种组合的成本以及对为推荐框架开发的研究数据库中的数据进行排序。该框架,数据库和API可以类似地用于任何其他决策目标。最后,开发了一个代表德黑兰居民房屋平均状况的模型,以选择31种考虑的选项来选择优化的智能建筑设备组合。
