Digital building models have become increasingly common in recent years. These models use intelligent objects that contain geometrical information as well as semantic information such as materials and fire protection properties. This kind of building models can be used to automate the checking of complex building requirements. The purpose of this work is to develop a MVD which checks compliance with basic fire protection requirements and thus supports creators of a building model. To achieve this, exchange formats published by buildingSMART are analyzed: the open standard IFC, the MVD and the data dictionary. Concurrently, the fire protection requirements of the Bavarian Building Regulations (BayBO) are translated into English and organized into a tabular representation. Thereafter, to develop the MVD, IFC attributes are combined with the requirements of the building regulations by PropertySets from the IFC schema. Prospective, this MVD can reduce inconsistencies during the exchange of building model data and improve the fire safety of buildings. Although a check can not yet be made when requirements need a cross-object query. In addition, problems and potentials for improvement are collected and described, regarding the interaction of software from different software producers.     «
