Abstract	Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been widely adopted in Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and facilities management (AEC/FM) industry. Recently, 3D BIM models are commonly used; however, there is still some debates going on upon the necessity of 6D BIM utilization, which is the as-built BIM model linked with operations and maintenance (O&M) information of building’s components. Owners are always faced with the dilemma of the benefits of 6D BIM application in their projects’ lifecycle. In this paper, the timesaving benefits of 6D BIM models in facilities management (FM) practices during a building’s life cycle are studied. 6D model application in operations control and maintenance, the two main responsibilities of FM departments, is studied in this paper. Several scenarios, tested in a building owned by USC facilities management department, are designed to determine the timesaving benefits of 6D model utilization. These scenarios are divided into two major categories: operations control and maintenance. Data acquisition from Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) units, Chillers, and Air Handling Units (AHU) for operations control and two maintenance scenarios of occupant dissatisfaction from office temperature and leakage in chilled water lines have been studied in this paper. The time needed to accomplish the explained scenarios has been measured using two available approaches of 3D/2D models and 6D models. Based on achieved results, possible timesaving benefits of 6D model application are explored and presented.
