Advantages of using virtual reality and building information modelling when assessing suitability of various heat sources, including renewable energy sources

[摘要] The pace of changes in the construction industry is constantly accelerating. It includes 3D modeling, utilization of drones, 3D printing and virtual or augmented reality. Augmented reality combines something real, such as existing buildings, with expanded 2D or 3D digital information about individual technologies or planned changes, and the actual projection of individual elements into a given (even hidden) space. It can be a key for improving project engineering processes, subsequent maintenance or more efficient renovation procedures. Virtual and augmented realities need 3D building models, i.e. incorporation of building information modelling. Building information modelling (BIM) is a modern and efficient solution process that incorporates the entire building life cycle, based on a realistic model and information. Individual building technical equipment, i.e. including heat sources, to a certain extent influence the internal structure of individual buildings, particularly in the case of a more complex structures. The article describes some of the modern technologies that can be applied to the administration, maintenance and implementation of building technical equipment. Such technologies can also help when deciding about the most suitable heat source for a given building. The article points out the benefits of incorporating these modern technologies.
