As a consequence, there is a currently no generic, life-cycle and interoperable tool for analysis of both predicted and measured building performance data. This paper presents a new BIM-based life cycle visualization environment for analysis of measured and simulated building performance data through synchronized display of multi-context and multivariable time-series data complemented by summary reporting data. A demonstration of the visualization environment focuses on a performance analysis scenario using data from a base case simulation and one design alternative. Pages: 2651 - 2657 Paper:
