Method for displaying status information of a building, the method comprising the following steps: (VS1) providing building data (BD) from the building in the notation of a machine-readable building information model (BIM) in a database, wherein the building information model (BIM) comprises devices installed in the building, in particular field devices (FG1 - FGn); (VS2) providing a project configuration (PK) with data points (DP) from the devices installed in the building, in particular field devices (FG1 - FGn), for building automation by way of an engineering system (ES), wherein a data point (DP) represents a current physical value; (VS3) linking the data points (DP) to the respective devices of the building information model (BIM); (VS4) selecting a display format (DF1 - DF3) by a user; and (VS5) displaying the selected display format (DF1 - DF3) on an output device, wherein the linking of the data points (DP) to the respective devices of the building information model (BIM) takes place automatically by comparing the notation of the data points (DP) with the notation of the respective devices of the building information model (BIM), and wherein regular expressions with the same character set with corresponding syntax and grammar are used to identify the data points in the project configuration and for identifying the elements in the building information model (BIM), characterised in that , linking the data points to the respective devices of the building information model is based on a fuzzy search, wherein updating the project configuration (PK) takes place depending on changes to the building information model (BIM) by way of an automatic push functionality.
