| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學研究所 === 105 === A building will not be completed without the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) system. The mechanical and electrical systems are to the construction as organs are to the human body, and the plumbing systems which build up the connections are the nerves and vessels. As the quality of constructions improving, the complexity of the MEP systems increases, interface conflicts come along. MEP are currently designed with 2D graphing; this derives issues on error identification, communication, interface integration, information storage, which may easily result in delay, disputes, discrepancies between sites and designs. Building Information Modeling (BIM) can manage visualization and information storage, hence, may efficiently mitigate the problems addressed. Designing MEP system with the aid of BIM has become an inevitable trend.
BIM has not yet been well developed in Taiwan. Although some customers have demanded using BIM in the contract, it takes time for traditional constructions to change. Traditional techniques are still existing, competitive barriers and promotion of the software are yet to be overcome. BIM can convert the tradition 2D diagram into 3D view with its visualization function, therefore, may mediate the interface conflicts. However, the software application currently requires the experience of the engineers and a larger amount of workforce to eliminate the conflicts. The purpose of this research is to make the BIM application more efficient by standardizes the process of the MEP elimination measure with a case study. A detailed record of problems encountered and solutions were kept during the research for further studies in the future.
