This project examines the development of a modelling tool within a 3D virtual environment that will enable facility planners and managers to visually simulate and make future projections of the facility or building they are working on in terms of its life cycle needs (ie maintenance, refurbishment, extension and major replacements) and its response to management action to meet those needs. The project will use existing data on facilities and will develop specialised data mining techniques to demonstrate data mining of historical databases.
