The Building Informatics and Visualization Lab (biLAB) at NYU Tandon School of Engineering specializes in utilizing an integrated suite of cutting-edge technologies to tackle challenges observed during the design, construction, and operation of urban built environment. The research team endeavors to detect, quantify, and visualize patterns over time, leveraging data obtained from reality capture technologies (e.g., cameras, laser scanners) and embedded sensing. By exploiting the intersection of BIM, AI, robotics, and manufacturing processes, the lab aims to enhance the scalability and efficiency of construction methods, particularly in modular construction contexts. BiLAB pioneers novel solutions for optimization of energy use in urban buildings towards achievement of sustainability goals.
Testbeds utilized: legacy and smart buildings, airports, highways.
