Dette speciale har to formål: (1) at undersøge, hvordan byggebranchen bruger viden fra færdige bygninger (erfaringer efter opførelsen), og (2) at vurdere, om fuldt immersiv virtuel realitet (VR) kan støtte beslutningstagning hos en bygherreorganisation. Med udgangspunkt i branchens udfordringer med byggekvalitet formuleres et første spørgsmål: Hvad forhindrer, at viden fra eksisterende bygninger overføres til designfasen af nye projekter? En gennemgang af den nyeste viden og praksis danner grundlag for at analysere de vigtigste barrierer. Dernæst behandles spørgsmålet: Hvordan kan immersive 3D-værktøjer bidrage til at dele tavs viden (praktisk knowhow, der er svær at beskrive) i beslutningsprocesser i en organisation, der er orienteret mod avancerede IT-løsninger? Et casestudie i AAB præsenteres og analyseres for at belyse dette. Specialet udpeger de områder, hvor integration af immersive VR-værktøjer kan få betydning, beskriver de teknologiske skridt, AAB skal igennem, og skitserer anbefalede bedste praksisser. Forfatterne konkluderer, at immersive 3D på nuværende teknologiske niveau ikke er det mest hjælpsomme værktøj i beslutninger under AAB’s udbudsprocedurer, blandt andet fordi projekterne er små i skala. Til gengæld kan VR være meget nyttig i kommunikationen med lejere som et effektivt præsentationsværktøj, hvor beslutninger om renoveringer kan træffes, og konsekvenserne kan vises med det samme. Afslutningsvis fremhæves, at VR forventes at blive en vigtig del af fremtidens AECO-branche (arkitektur, ingeniør, byggeri og drift) på tværs af discipliner og sektorer.

This thesis has two aims: (1) to examine how the building industry uses post-construction knowledge—lessons from how completed buildings perform—and (2) to assess whether fully immersive virtual reality (VR) can support decision-making in a construction client’s organization. Against concerns about building quality, the study first asks: What prevents transferring knowledge from existing buildings into the design of new ones? A review of current research and practice provides the basis for analyzing key barriers. It then considers: How can immersive 3D tools help share tacit knowledge (practical know-how that is hard to write down) during decision-making in an organization oriented toward state-of-the-art IT solutions? A case study at AAB is presented and analyzed to explore this question. The thesis identifies areas where integrating immersive VR could have impact, outlines the technological steps AAB would need to take, and suggests best practices. The authors conclude that, at the current stage of technology, immersive 3D is not the most helpful tool for decision-making during AAB’s tender procedures, partly because projects are small in scale. However, VR could be very useful for communicating with tenants, serving as an effective presentation tool for renovation projects where decisions can be made and their consequences shown instantly. The authors further argue that VR will become an important part of the future AECO industry (architecture, engineering, construction, and operations) across disciplines and sectors.
