Building information modeling utilizes digital building models as the central data management object to plan and maintain a building throughout the entire life cycle. Design ideas of engineers and architects are claimed and regulated by standards and legal texts. The quality of this planning performance is reflected in the underlying digital building models. In order to be able to carry out an automated check concerning these regulations, a translation of the demanded contents into machine-interpretable information is required. The development of code compliance checking tests is complicated because of the usually very high complexity of the respective standards or legal texts. For this purpose, this work outlines a methodology for translating content from standards and legal texts into machine-interpretable information, thus enabling an automated verification of these contents. Therefore, the fifth section of the Model Building Code is the central point of the investigations. In conclusion, the described methodology for enabling automated code compliance checking of regulatory requirements is tested for its stability based on selected sections of the MBO and a sample building model.     «
