Built-In versus Standalone Code Checking: The Case of Automated Egress Path Checker
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2022
ABSTRACT
Automated code processing has been appearing research area for the last four decades. Hence, there are functioning prototypes that have been developed worldwide; there remains no consensus on one unified methodology for automated rule checking, and one of the significant gaps in these systems provided a black box interface for the user who can edit the existing checking rule without creating his one. This paper provides the functional prototype to check the code of the IBC emergency egress. The proposed model depended on a new automated code checker approach that enables designers to check building design during the design process and on the same design platform, “BIM Platform.” This model developed as a Dynamo model works inside Autodesk Revit. This model breaks down into three modules for checking and calculating the egress paths. The outcomes of this model are a graphical floor-plan illustrated all egress paths and simulated all exit marks for each room. Then, classify all rooms by the egress path length and export the results as a report. As a result, this tool saves a significant amount of time in processing and developing life safety drawings.
