Building Information Management (BIM)

 Discover a domain-independent approach to predict building performance, compare planned performance to messy sensor data, and respond to emergent building behavior. 


  • A Framework for Building Information Fusion
  • Data Clustering for Life-Cycle Facility Control 

UseS Open Standards

Four technical standards published in NBIMS-US V3 support Better Information Management. The first is COBie. COBie provides least common denominator information for manufactured product and equipment. Three domain standards were created for HVAC, water, and electrical systems. An additional specification integrates sensor telemetry. 


COBie

 The Construction Operations Building information exchange (COBie) standard delivers O&M data for manufactured, scheduled products and equipment.

HVACie

  The Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) information exchange (HVACie) standard models the supply, return, and hydronic systems with logical and physical location of each piece of equipment, pipe, and duct. A combination of a Coordination MVD for a restricted set of object types, COBie Data, and ifcPorts.

BAMIE

 The Building Automation Management information exchange (BAMie) specification models building automation and control systems with logical and physical location of each piece of equipment, panels, components, and the connections made between the underlying system object and the control system object.   A combination of a Coordination MVD for a restricted set of object types, COBie Data, and ifcPorts.
