ABSTRACTGEORGE POULOS. The Use of LiDAR Point Clouds for University Facilities Management (Under the direction of Dr. Glenda Mayo) The use of 3D LiDAR technology has been consistently in demand. 3D scans are used for many different applications including documenting assets and creating as-built drawing of current buildings. However, a significant hurdle is that there is no industry standard or recommended way of using the scan data. In this small case study, 50 buildings were scanned on the campus of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte). With this data, three methods were identified and used to present options to facility managers for how to make the scan data accessible to the employees that can use it in their work with operations and decision making. The identified methods were examined for applicability, cost, ease of use and overall effectiveness. Each method was presented to a small group of university facilities management representatives and a short survey was completed after the presentation. The survey data showed that most of the responses indicated that exploring the Scene 2go method could bring useful information to the department to support what 3D scanning can bring to UNC Charlotte. The research also helped to quantify scan times and data collection needs, which may also assist new users in the planning and implementation process for 3D scanning.
