建築外覆系統的設計、製造涵蓋建築生命週期的各個階段，從初步設計到維運管理。在每個發展階段，建築外覆資訊模型必須提供足夠的要件，以支持決策與協作，這通常稱為模型發展程度（LOD）。在BIM領域已被多篇論文引用。然而，跨學科的協作框架在實際運用層面的研究非常有限。因此，本文發展了一個涵蓋從設計到施工的協作環境，以提供建築外覆產業進行有效的協作。本文著重於解決以下問題的進行了研究和實施：（1）建築外覆系統的建模標準；（2）基於知識的模型庫；（3）聯合模型和基於元件模型的數據管理；（4）製造資訊的管理和關聯；以及（5）建築外覆系統於現場安裝的管理和關聯。本文透過實際工程項目的案例實踐來說明和討論研究成果，探討了建築外覆系統的設計、製造與管理過程，並說明協作環境的應用發展以及挑戰。

The design and construction of building envelope systems run across multiple phases in the project lifecycle, from the early design phases to the operation phase. The building envelope information modeling of each stage must support decision-making and collaboration with an adequate level of abstractions based on project delivery progress, which is often referred as LOD (Level of Development). Some theories have been introduced; but have very limited study in physical project implementation for interdisciplinary collaboration framework in reality. This paper presents a physical collaborative environment from design to construction for building envelope industry. The discussion focuses on the resolution of the following issues that have been studied and implemented:(1) modelling standards in building envelope, (2) knowledge-based model library, (3) federated and element-based model database management, (4) management and association of manufacturing information, and (5) the management and association of information for job site installation of the building envelope system. The results are illustrated and discussed with physical project practice in this paper.
