It outlines Buildingsmart's role in developing and implementing open international standards such as COBie and IFC, as well as the adoption of these standards by various stakeholders. Furthermore, it details past trials and showcases efforts towards improving the use of BIM technology, particularly the challenges and benefits associated with COBie data management during project handovers.
Intro to buildingsmart and COBie - Nick Tune at Ecobuild 2015
- 1. Introduction to openBIM, Building SMART & COBie Nick Tune Director BuildingSMART
- 2. A Lesson From History In the 1980s, Western Manufacturing faced economic pressure: - High quality, low cost imports - Rising labour cost - More demanding legislation It had to innovate to survive
- 4. What is Integrated Process? • The ability to share and use data between team members from the same discipline .... and • The ability to share and use data between different disciplines Access to the information you need – when you need it
- 5. In Construction Integrated Process Is called BIM
- 6. What BIM is Not • A NEW CONCEPT • A TECHNOLOGY • JUST A MODEL • THE SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING
- 7. What communication protocol does BIM need to succeed? • A common language • A platform to communicate the common language • A willingness to communicate the common language
- 8. Three Ways To Apply BIM Communication Protocols 1. Bespoke 2. Single platform (Closed BIM) 3. Common Platform (Open BIM)
- 9. Everyone learns everyone else's language BESPOKE UN
- 10. Everybody, bar 1, has to change their language UN SINGLE PLATFORM (CLOSED BIM)
- 11. COMMON PLATFORM (OPEN BIM) UN IFC Everyone uses their own language with a common interpreter
- 12. What is OPEN BIM? A PROCESS THAT GIVES USERS ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION THEY NEED WHEN THEY NEED IT WHATEVER TECHNOLOGY IS USED
- 13. A world wide Alliance driving the transformation of the built environment through creation & adoption of open, international standards Values Open Neutral International Non Profit Goals Create openBIM standards Host open BIM forums Certify software & people Become a trusted resource Promote active use Standards Focus Data Processes Dictionaries BIM Standards History 1995 Established 2000 IFC2 Release 2012 IFC4 Release 2013 First ISO Standards International Network Australasia Benelux Canada China French German Hong Kong Italia Japan Korea Middle East Nordic Norway Singapore United Kingdom USA bSI Partners Richard Petrie CEO Patrick MacLeamy Chairman Introduction: buildingSMART today
- 14. Standardisation vs. Standards S t a n d a r d i s a t i o n ISO CEN National Standards bSI
- 15. Success • Standards Body of Reference • Harmonisation of standards • Development of openBIM standards (where required) • Vibrant Chapters • Quality Mark in Demand

- 21. buildingSMART will focus on standardising processes. We believe this is the priority and that we are well positioned to do this because of our worldwide network and neutral status. Current activity is limited by resources and narrow engagement.

- 22. Where is the industry now ? – BIM 4 SMEs – Mostly design based proprietary software, limited use in construction phase, little use in maintenance – Most haven't used level 2 tools protocol/tools ie COBie etc – Not aware of interoperability issues
- 23. BSUKs Vision – The UKs leading body for the development of openBIM standards and the ‘go to’ organisation in supporting clients and users with the adoption of openBIM/BIM Level 2 within their work processes.
- 24. About BuildingSMART & open BIM – BuildingSMART: a community of people and organisations who are working with open-BIM & sharing their experiences – Working with government & industry to develop standards, tools and training to ensure that open BIM is used effectively – We created the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard and building data dictionary & are leading the development and roll out of COBie in the UK
- 25. The role of BuildingSMART UKI – To support users with adoption openBIM – To support the supply chain to meet the Governments Level 2 mandate – To educate the UK supply chain on openBIM – Develop new openBIM standards via BSInt
- 26. BSUKs planned work programme – Repository of information (objective impartial advice) such as guides, training content, information papers etc. – Tools, guides etc. to delivering L2 processes/standards such as development of IRs – KPIs for projects to monitor their performance against BIM L2
- 27. BSUKs planned work programme – Portal to showcase project performance (against KPIs) similar to honest buildings, Carbon Buzz etc – Case studies with tangible benefits of BIM highlighted – User trials and condensed trials (like the build live) series where Level 2 issues are trialled/tested – Unified method for certification of people, businesses, objects, projects, data
- 28. Who is behind BuildingSMART UKI? – We are a part of the international BuildingSMART programme, with representation across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Far East & Australasia. – BRE took control from Jan 13, because we have a background in driving positive change through programmes such as
- 30. BuildingSMART UK trials 2014/15 1. Trial 1 - Employers Information Requirements (EIR) and Information briefing Project scope – To deliver a ‘buildingSMART EIR template’ that will enable information requirements to be defined which are aligned with the IFC and COBie standards. An EIR could include the following types of requirements: Organisational Information Requirements (OIR) Asset Information Requirements (AIR) and Information Requirements (IR).
- 31. BuildingSMART UK trials 2014/15 – Trial 2 - Product Data Capability – The purpose of this trial is to test and evaluate a selection of intelligent objects that are currently available in BIM Libraries. Objectives – To establish if a COBie Spreadsheet deliverable for a specific product type can be populated from the information within BIM Library objects, relating to the CIC work stages: – For generic library objects: – Brief – Concept – Definition
- 32. BuildingSMART UK trials 2014/15 – Trial 3 - Handover using COBie to FM Providers – The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the capability of FM and Asset Management systems to import and export COBie data. – Objectives – To establish: – If COBie Spreadsheets can be imported into FM or Asset Management systems. – Once the COBie data has been imported into an FM or Asset Management and, for example, maintenance regimes and/or lists of spares have been defined, can the updated Asset Information Model be re-exported as COBie data.
- 33. What is COBie? An MVD of and IFC subset (minus geometry) at the handover stages of information

- 40. Federation Outcomes Common points of failure “Inconsistent or, uncontrolled use of, Global Coordinate Systems in native BIM tools” “BIM x to BIM y incompatibilities constrain native BIM federation” “Designing and implementing federation retrospectively is expensive”
- 41. Participant feedback - Verbal Inability to understand the COBie sheet and the exact data required to populate it. Hard to get the correct data into the IFC file from the BIM tool in order to create a correct COBie file Too much time required correcting the COBie data when it fails validation
- 42. COBie user errors Values not correctly selected from pick lists – Contact name not on the contact page Incorrect Pick Lists (wrong Uniclass table) – UniClass 1 not Uniclass 2 or OmniFormat Data values missing that are required – A contact’s e-mail address Inconsistent object type filtering – Columns not required but included
