Archibus Extensions for BUILDER^TM SMS

Condition Index

When you run a connector group for import of inventory data from BUILDER™ SMS, transfer of condition assessment values for all assets occurs automatically. Condition assessments are based on Condition Index (CI) ratings. CI ratings are computed based on the asset hierarchy used for BUILDER™ SMS inventories:

• Component CI (BCCI) – For each component, the BCCI is computed by taking the average of its section CI's weighted by replacement cost.
• System CI (SCI) – For each system, the SCI is computed by taking the average of its component CI's weighted by replacement cost.
• Building CI (BCI) – For each building, the BCI is computed by taking the average of its system CI's weighted by replacement cost.
• Complex CI –The complex CI is computed by taking the average of the BCI's of each building in the complex weighted by replacement cost.
• Site CI – The site CI is computed by taking the average of the BCI's of each building at the site weighted by replacement cost.

BUILDER™ SMS computes all Condition Index ratings accordingly. Archibus compiles these ratings in the Performance Metrics section of the Archibus Extensions for BUILDER™ SMS Home Page.

Condition Index Tracking Metric

Archibus imports the Condition Index (CI) metric values from BUILDER™ SMS for: organizations, sites, buildings, building systems and equipment, and keeps track of CI trends using the tracking metric titled BUILDER SMS CI.

The BUILDER SMS CI trend values can be reviewed on the BUILDER™ SMS Home Page, in the Performance Metrics scorecard:

Archibus uses a generic title for the CI metric - BUILDER SMS CI - instead of the exact field names in BUILDER™ SMS - such as BCI, CSCI, and so on - because it can collect the CI trending values for all levels by employing different granularities.

The Archibus Metrics Framework simplifies collection of CI trends by using one metric with multiple granularities, instead of multiple metrics. Each granularity collects CI trend data for a specific BUILDER™ SMS level:

• Organization = CI – Organization Condition Index
• Site = CI – Site Condition Index
• Building = BCI – Building Condition Index
• System = SCI – System Condition Index
• Equipment* is equivalent to BCCI (Building Component Condition Index) or CSCI (Component Section Condition Index)

* Components and sections are represented as equipment and equipment systems in Archibus.

Analysis Metric in the Financial Analysis Console

Locate the Financial Analysis Console in the Navigator:

Real Estate Portfolio Management / Strategic Financial Analysis / Financial Analysis / Financial Analysis Console

In the Financial Analysis Console, the analysis metric, BUILDER™ SMS Condition Index (CI), reports on the most recent Condition Index values for Buildings and Equipment imported from BUILDER™ SMS.

The analysis metric reflects the latest metric values from this tracking metric.

Note these equivalents between BUILDER™ SMS Condition Index (CI) metrics and BUILDER™ SMS hierarchy levels:

• BUILDER™ SMS Condition Index (CI) for Buildings – Equivalent to BCI, Building Condition Index
• BUILDER™ SMS Condition Index (CI) for Equipment* – Equivalent to BCCI, Building Component Condition Index, or CSCI, Component Section Condition Index

* Components and sections are represented as equipment and equipment systems in Archibus.
