Building information model management system with hierarchy generation

1. A system comprising:

one or more memory devices having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

obtaining building information model (BIM) data associated with a building comprising one or more building assets;

identifying one or more BIM objects within the BIM data, the one or more BIM objects associated with the one or more building assets;

identifying one or more object relationships between the one or more BIM objects, wherein the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships are defined according to a semantic description schema;

applying, based on the semantic description schema, semantic descriptions to the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships, wherein the semantic descriptions change an identification of the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships within a hierarchy structure according to the semantic description schema, the identification comprising natural language data to visualize the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships in a graph;

generating, based on an application of the semantic descriptions according to the semantic description schema, the hierarchy structure for the building based on the one or more BIM objects, the one or more object relationships, and the application of the semantic descriptions; and

controlling the one or more building assets based on a building model that is generated using the hierarchy structure.

2. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising extracting metadata from the BIM data, wherein the metadata is used to identify the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships.

3. The system of claim 1 , the operations further comprising mapping the one or more BIM objects to points within a building automation system (BAS) associated with the building, wherein the points within the BAS correspond to the one or more building assets.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the BIM data is received as one or more industry foundation class (IFC) files.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the hierarchy structure defines physical or spatial relationships between the one or more BIM objects.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the hierarchy structure comprises:

identifying hierarchy levels associated with the one or more BIM objects based on the one or more object relationships; and

ordering the one or more BIM objects based in an associated hierarchy level.

11. A method comprising:

obtaining, by one or more processors, building information model (BIM) data associated with a building comprising one or more building assets;

identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more BIM objects within the BIM, the one or more BIM objects associated with the one or more building assets;

identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more object relationships between the one or more BIM objects, wherein the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships are defined according to a semantic description schema;

applying, based on the semantic description schema, semantic descriptions to the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships, wherein the semantic descriptions change an identification of the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships within a hierarchy structure according to the semantic description schema, the identification comprising natural language data to visualize the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships in a graph;

generating, by the one or more processors, based on an application of the semantic descriptions according to the semantic description schema, the hierarchy structure for the building based on the one or more BIM objects, the one or more object relationships, and the application of the semantic descriptions; and

controlling the one or more building assets based on a building model that is generated using the hierarchy structure.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising extracting, by the one or more processors, metadata from the BIM data, wherein the metadata is used to identify the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising mapping, by the one or more processors, the one or more BIM objects to points within a building automation system (BAS) associated with the building, wherein the points within the BAS correspond to one of the one or more building assets.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the BIM data is obtained as one or more industry foundation class (IFC) files.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the semantic descriptions describe the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships in a natural language.

16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising applying the semantic descriptions to map the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships to a Brick schema.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more building assets comprise building equipment and spaces.

18. The method of claim 11 , further comprising generating, by the one or more processors, a 3D model of the building based on the BIM data, the 3D model comprising the semantic descriptions of the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the hierarchy structure defines physical or spatial relationships between the one or more BIM objects.

20. A non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

obtaining building information model (BIM) data associated with a building comprising one or more building assets;

extracting metadata from the BIM data to identify one or more BIM objects associated with the one or more building assets and one or more object relationships between the one or more BIM objects;

applying, based on a semantic description schema, semantic descriptions to the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships, wherein the semantic descriptions change an identification of the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships within a hierarchy structure according to the semantic description schema, the identification comprising natural language data to visualize the one or more BIM objects and the one or more object relationships in a graph;

generating, based on an application of the semantic descriptions according to the semantic description schema, the hierarchy structure for the building based on the one or more BIM objects, the relationships, and the application of the semantic descriptions;
