Providing a crisis management model to design a disaster relief building based on BIM and AHP method

The goal of this research is to identify and evaluate the factors of design excellence based on building information modeling (BIM) compared to the traditional method in relief structures including fire station centers and hospitals with an emphasis on crisis reduction. For this purpose, by studying the previous studies, simulation and modeling of the case study of firefighting buildings and Ayatollah Borujerdi Hospital in city of Boroujerd, the most important criteria and effective factors were identified using the Autodesk Revit software as well as experts’ comments. Then, they were prioritized using analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The results obtained indicated that the selected criteria in the order of preference included life, exploitation, time and finance. Also, the factors of excellence were as follows: 1) Access to information of building spaces for quick detection of more incidental and damaged sites; 2) Investigating and troubleshooting the most detailed information of the structural damages; 3) Accurate and smart travel in the building to locate the injured; and 4) Designing the smart movable ceilings (convertible), 5)Build fast buildings (from design to operation) during crises like warfare 6) The ability to use sun and wind energy in the event of power and gas interruptions, ... Considering the above factors in the design of fire fighting buildings and hospitals, building information modeling can save lives in times of earthquake crises.
