PREMISS - Requirements Management Interface to Building Product Models: Problem Definition and Research Issues

The purpose of this report is to define the important problems for a requirements management interface to building product models and outline the research needed to address these problems. The goal is to create a Requirements Model Specification, to enable active connections between the requirements for a building project and the Building Product Model based design solution. The focus of the Requirements Model Specification will be in the clients’ (owner's and end-users') requirements, but it will also include connections to some external requirements, like for example requirements set by the community or regulations, like building code. However, the detailed requirements analysis of the external requirements for building
projects is not in the scope of this report.
