Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has been applied in home and office environment to achieve smart building. Most interfaces of the management systems for smart buildings are in 2D with text and buttons. On the other hand, the applications of Building Information Model (BIM) also keep increasing. BIM is the integration of 3D model with design information as properties of model components. Based on such model, effective integration of monitoring data with 3D model should be achieved. However, the property information in existing BIM systems is static and presented as number or text in form. Monitoring data are dynamic which change over time and keep accumulated. Therefore, technology for storing accumulating big data should be adopted and 3D visualized ways for presenting dynamic data on 3D model should be proposed. This study developed a prototype system to show the feasibility of using 3D model as the interface for the display and control of IoT devices in a smart building. The proposed system forms an indoor IoT network which integrates four representative Arduino-based sensors and controllers for environment monitoring and device control. It adopts Cloud technology for accumulating big data form monitoring in a cloud database, and also adopts Web3D technology for presenting 3D model with dynamic data online via Web browser. Several 3D visualized ways to present the information of these IoT devices on 3D model were proposed and compared in this study to suggest the most suitable way for each one. A case study on the application of the proposed system was developed to show the feasibility and benefit of such integration.
