The paper discusses the ideas behind an inception support modeller that uses state of the art Product Data Technology (PDT) and Knowledge Technology (KT). The modeller under development provides facility owners, facility owners to-be and project developers with the opportunity to create and evaluate a number of alternative solutions for their accommodation by stating their requirements such as functional requirements and resources such as available money and location. By applying knowledge rules, case mies and default values information gaps will be closed in order to generate more detailed alternatives. This process assures the availability of just enough product information to perform an evaluation of the performances and costs, and gives the facility owner a better view on a realistic solution for his requirements. Using a 3D front-end in combination with a requirements language which is easy to comprehend, the client can put in his requirements on different aspects of the project, like (cash flow, type of contract), building environment related aspects (availability of public transport or green), functional related aspects and components related aspects. Feedback will be given like cost evaluations, construction time and performance values expressed in money for energy usage, durability, maintainability, walking distances and such. The working of the tool is illustrated by a case, a Hospital Inception Modeller. The case evaluates the feasibility of the renovation of a Hospital Complex in Delft in The Netherlands |
