International Alliance
for Interoperability
W21 – buildingSMART alliance: Projects in Progress
• Learn the status of projects related to
standardization, education and international
tools for implementing sustainable design
• Learn how to get involved with promoting
sustainability, energy efficiency, safety,
education, environmental, standards,
collaboration, cost optimization, and other
program areas of the Alliance.
• Learn what actions and projects need to be
implemented today to ensure we design green
facilities for the future.

Agenda
• Introduction to buildingSMART alliance
• Projects Approach using COBIE as an
example
• Projects on the Web
• Walk through of Project Status with Project
Managers

National Institute of Building Sciences
• 1974 - NIBS - Public Law 93-383, Sect. 809
– Bridge between Private and Public Construction
– Non-governmental – Unique 501c3 Organization
– Unique in that it represents all disciplines in industry
• 1992 - Facility Information Council Mission
– "improve the performance of facilities over their full life-cycle by
fostering common and open standards and an integrated lifecycle information model for the A/E/C & FM industry."

The Numbers
This Does Not
Include
Operations and
Sustainment,
Occupation,
Renovations,
Air Quality
Impacts, etc.
Source: CII & LCI 2004
• Worldwide Construction Industry 2008 = $4.8T (Source ENR)
• US Construction Industry 2008 = $1.288T (Source ENR)
• 57% - 26% = 31%
• 31% of $1.288T = $399B Annually
© 2008 NIBS
The Situation
• Waste (non-value added effort) in the
construction industry is at minimum a $399B
annual problem.
• We have the tools to change the way we do
business - to make a difference in our future
• Apparently we do not have the will or desire as
measured by coordinated resources devoted to
fixing the problem!
Why?
© 2008 NIBS
The Owners View
• Our industry is an impediment to the owners
gratification
• We don’t communicate well – 90% can’t read
drawings
• Any time we spend or time we take is taking
away from their bottom line
• Once they decide to produce a
product they would like to see
it produced providing them the
best possible profit
© 2008 NIBS
The Problem
Information Value
• Every discipline works to support themselves
• Information is not passed due to liability fears
• Information is re-gathered by each discipline at
each juncture including work orders
Value of Improvements
To-Be
• Minimized data loss
• Maximized information
value

The Solution
•
•
•
•
Open standards
Collaborative and comprehensive design
Build a model then build it
Collect data once, sustain it, and
repurpose it
• Share results

We are All Headed in the Same Direction

Projects in Progress Approach
• Alliance primarily to coordinate projects
– What is being done across industry?
– How do we coordinate efforts?
– What is missing?
• Other organizations will be responsible for
project development
– AGC, AIA, ICC, OGC, OSCRE, many others
• Member vs. Non-Member
– Various projects – various rules
© 2008 NIBS
Projects Will be Visible to All
Project Description Open to All

International Alliance
for Interoperability
Interoperability is Overrated!
•
•
•
•
Vagueness of this term allowed sloppiness
File swapping during demos insufficient
“Special” configuration settings
Support infrastructure not aware of
“special” settings
© 2008 NIBS
What is needed?
• Performance-based specifications for BIM
– Information content
• Based on national consensus
• Likely to be international variation
– Deliverable timing
– Format (non-proprietary often needed)
• an international standard that is not modified
© 2008 NIBS
What is needed?
•
•
•
•
An open process to create these specs
Software that implements the specs
Contract parties to use the specs
Information to reach full community
– Demos with full disclosure of settings
– Repeatable at local end-user offices

Why will this work?

Presentation Objectives
To describe the buildingSMART Alliance
process to define the content, format,
timing of deliverables and take a
specification for that set of information
from inception to national standard.
Demonstrate the process using a project for
capture and exchange of building
handover data: Construction Operations
Building Information Exchange (COBIE).

Procurement &

Requestor
Collect information as items
are ordered and delivered
such as who is warranting,
when the warranty starts, how
long is the warranty period,
what preventive maintenance
is required to keep the
warranty in force

Process designed to have questions answered up-front
Subject matter experts, not consultants, drive the process
It is a “problem solving” not a “technology tinkering” process
Technical work and pilots can be done in 12-24 months
Goal is to meet 80% solution, don’t let perfection get in the way of progress
Industry-wide adoption, well, we’ll all work on that one!

COBIE - problem
• Today, handover
information is created
and lost several times
• Designer creates space
and equipment layouts
• Construction contractor

• Surveys “stored” in
boiler rooms
• Maintenance contractor

• Hand load data into

• Alliance, National Academy of

• Currently ten vendors signedup to demonstrate and provide
sufficient information to allow
demonstrations to be repeated

Principles - What Is Really Important?
• Information entered once by the
authoritative source
• Build confidence - use metadata – who did
what when? Provide secure environment
• Sustain information as part of business
process not a separate task
• You can summarize detail but cannot go
the other way
• Eliminate non-value added effort - Waste
