Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) approach proposes a global wireless sensor/actuator network composed of everyday devices such as home appliances, city furniture, mobile phones or vehicles. Everyday devices would be either publishers of information and subscribers of information coming from other people and devices. The information provided by each device would only be limited by the device’s sensing capabilities. In order to represent real-time information about indoors, the integration between information acquired from IoT devices and BIM elements (including door, window, wall, slab, roof, staircase and space) is an obvious necessity. This chapter first presents patterns related to integration of information provided by IoT elements, and then focuses on patterns that are formulated for integration of BIMs with information provided by the IoT elements.
