Building Information Modelling for
Asset Management (BIM-AM)
Standards and Guidelines Version 3.0 Appendix C
1. Introduction
EMSD manages over 20 systems (level 1) and over 200 sub-systems (level 2). EMSD currently
uses an ERP system based on SAP namely CCS to manage all asset attributes through pre-defined
spreadsheet template sets. EMSD also manages asset BIM model information in Revit and its data
exchange with other asset management applications (BIM-AM) such as Archibus and Planon.
Asset Information Management Platform (AIMP) is a web-based system for EMSD to manage
asset information and relationship. It utilises spreadsheet / COBie / COBieLite to exchange
information with other system like CCS, Revit, Archibus, and Planon.
1.1 Purpose
This document provides information on how to use the Asset Information Management Platform
(AIMP).
1.2 Terminologies
Terminology Description
Level 1 Asset System level (e.g. LVSB)
Common and specific attributes of system
Level 2 Asset Equipment level of a system (e.g. Switchgear of LVSB)
Have equipment level common and specific attributes
Equipment/Asset Type Represent an abstract asset
Different meaning with BIM asset type
Both BIM asset type data and BIM asset component data are
store in AIMP instance level
Asset Instance Represent a physical asset in a particular function location
Different meaning with BIM asset component
Both BIM asset type data and BIM asset component data
store in
AIMP instance level
Asset Code Unique identifier of an asset instance in EMSD
AIMP identifier
Equipment No. A unique identifier of an asset instance in CCS which is
assigned by CCS for new asset

Asset Management (BIM-AM)
Standards and Guidelines Version 3.0 Appendix C
Terminology Description
Functional Location Physical location identifier, each level 1/2 asset instance has
one
and only one functional location
User can be assigned with more than 1 functional location to
manage his responsible assets
Example: Room 3, 4/F, Block A in a building
System Topology Graphical presentation of asset instance relationships (i.e.
parent-child, associated, and grouped)
BIM Building Information Modelling
Industrial modelling standard of building information
EMSD uses Autodesk Revit to manage BIM model
COBie Construction-Operations Building information exchange
International standard for the exchange of information
regarding
facility assets in spreadsheet format
COBieLite XML format of COBie files
Autodesk Revit BIM modelling tool under Autodesk brand
Plug-in in Revit to import/export COBieLite files
With native export to COBie files via Autodesk Plug-in (i.e.
COBie Extension for Revit)
Archibus One of the BIM-AM Systems
Support bi-directional data exchange with Revit
It supports multiple format such as COBie/COBieLite
Planon One of the BIM-AM Systems
Support bi-directional data exchange with Revit
It supports multiple format such as COBieLite
CCS SAP-based Asset Management System
Use asset template spreadsheets to communicate with third
party applications
