The link between data collection and the use of the information is still an open question for facility operators. There is either too much or too little information or there exists an undefined process. The accuracy of the data collected is a defining factor of how successful this integration can be. This session addresses a structure for determining the appropriate information that should be available for data mining by facility managers. This session will enable attendees to:

Identify the data needs of a facility operator.
Identify the sources of data and how to organize facility data for efficient and effective use by a facility manager.
Assess the impact of BIM on the collection and organization of data.
Describe accurate and appropriate data collection process for use at project turnover.
