Products and Process Modeling in Cx: A Significant Challenge for Digital-Cx

Abstract

In the next decade, digitalization of commissioning (Cx) is likely to be a key advance, in the field of AEC. This requires that as much of what we do manually, through word processing and spreadsheets can be done through sophisticated computer applications to enhance Cx productivity. The first step in achieving this is the creation of reliable, persistent, accurate, just-in-time, and easily accessible Cx information. Towards this end we are building a proof-of-concept prototype for functional performance tests (FPT) that can help Cx agents derive product models through specifying process descriptions.
