Electrifying openBIM Paper Published

This Industry Insights paper from the buildingSMART Electrical Domain presents a vision for using openBIM standards to enhance building design by fully integrating electrical systems. Focused on low and medium voltage power distribution, it advocates for a holistic approach across the building lifecycle — planning, construction, operation, and demolition. The paper includes use cases to showcase efficiencies, challenges, and real-world applications, demonstrating how openBIM can optimize electrical systems performance and interoperability within building projects.

Guidance for Regulators on use of openBIM Paper Published

This Industry Insights paper from the buildingSMART Regulatory Domain provides a comprehensive guidance for regulators on adopting and implementing openBIM standards in digital building permitting processes. It outlines the benefits of openBIM, such as improving data interoperability, enhancing collaboration, and supporting long-term data sustainability in the construction sector. It addresses technological, legal, and implementation challenges, offering insights and lessons from pioneering countries and regulatory bodies adopting openBIM.

Calling Immersed Tunnel Professionals!

Do you work on Immersed Tunnel projects? If so, buildingSMART International and the Maritime Domain want to hear from you. We are running a short survey to fully understand how data exchange in immersed tunnel projects is done and what future requirements are. 

The key objectives of the survey are:

• Better understand how immersed tunnels are delivered today.
• The role of openBIM and future industry requirements for its practical application.
• Collect respondents' professional backgrounds, roles, and experience in immersed tunnel projects.
• The level of maturity for openBIM standards and services like IFC, the bSDD, and IDS.
• Provide input for bSI to help us prioritize what we should focus on.
• Inform the Maritime Domain of future project planning.

If you can spare approximately 5 minutes of your time, we would be very grateful for your insights.
