Existing workflows to design, commission, and operate geometrically or functionally complex facilities are characterized by knowledge-intensive but highly repetitive tasks. Examples include the optimal placement of wayfinding signs, the detection and resolution of clashes in systems integration, or the dynamic control of sensors and actuators based on expected or real space utilization patterns. In order to achieve higher automation levels in these workflows, we are developing geometrically enriched facility models, procedural modeling and optimization, immersive VR/AR, and pedestrian simulation methods.
