Data Management
This phrase refers to networked infrastructures that interconnect physical objects and allow for the management of the data they generate. A typical example of IoT is a home energy monitor connected to an app on mobile phone, or a voice-activated system such as Alexa or Google Home that allows the user to play music or control the lights just by speaking a command.

Level of information need
Ever feel like you’re drowning in BIM data you don’t need, or scrambling for details that should’ve been there? Enter the concept of Level of Information Need. It’s a straightforward idea buried behind a not-so-straightforward name (looking at you, BS EN ISO 7817-1:2024). In plain English, a Level of Information Need defines exactly what information should be delivered – no more, no less – for a given BIM use case or project stage.
