buildingSMART International is a nonprofit organization that develops open standards to support building information modeling (BIM) and sustainable construction. It has 13 chapters across 24 countries. The organization's vision is sustainability through sharing structured building data using open international standards. Its key standards include IFC for defining reusable building information, IDM for documenting information exchanges, and IFD for cataloging building terminology. The organization believes that governments can achieve cost savings, improved value, and lower carbon emissions by using open and shareable building asset information throughout the lifecycle of their facilities.

14. Three Key Standards
BIM is about sharing structured data.
• IFC – “Information for Construction” ISO/PAS 16739-2005
– What information can be re-used.
– Includes designs, processes, resources, participants.
– IFC STEP files and IFC XML files define portable file structures.
• IDM – “Information Delivery Manuals” ISO/FDIS 29491-1:2009
– How specific required information exchanges can be documented.
– How to capture your requirements for application developers to meet.
– Integrates with workflow management
• IFD – “International Framework Dictionary” ISO 12006-3:2007
– Catalogues terms and concepts.
– Includes multiple languages
– Includes proprietary dialects such as “Revit-speak”, “Bentley-speak”

16. Hypothesis
“Government as a client can derive significant
improvements in cost, value and carbon
performance through the use of open
sharable asset information”
