ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to implement techniques such as business rules associated with semantic knowledge in order to identify appropriate environmental policies on the web. It describes the systems physical architecture demonstrating the functional architecture input and out processing, and user interfaces in order to semanticially link policies through a building information modeling (BIM) model. The Cloud-BIM test-case study is highlighted to illustrate the collaborative benefits of web-based BIM service over traditional standalone model for exchanging data. The chapter begins with outlining the importance of policy documents in realtion to economic growth and identifies how such models can act as incentive schemes based on energy performance upgrades. It aims to eBusiness is based on web services Application Performance Interfaces (APIs) for exchanging partial sets of BIM data in real-time with semantic capabilities. By developing agent-based system architecture the future of web services will invoke knowledge in the form of rules that transform policy documents into intelligent three-dimensional collaboration tools for engineering projects.
