In the final episode of the four-part National BIM Standard-United States® (NBIMS-US™) series, host Johnny Fortune sits down with TJ Meehan, Vice President of Technology Solutions with CADD Microsystems.   They discuss the Construction to Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) module and how it helps building owners manage and utilize data more effectively, as well as the challenges of implementing BIM in the AEC industry and the importance of understanding owner data needs.   Key Topics: COBie is a data standard that allows for the extraction of data from BIM models in a standardized format for asset management. NBIMS-US™ V4 includes the latest version of COBie that was developed over several years using a consensus-based process.  Implementing standards like COBie can be a long and rigorous process that requires consensus among stakeholders and input from the public. The tools developed by CADD Microsystems, such as the Model Checker and the Autodesk Interoperability Tools, help architects, engineers, and owners access and manage data throughout the building process. The COBie extension has had a significant impact and has become part of the software package delivered by Autodesk. Building owners often lack comprehensive understanding of their data needs and requirements, highlighting the need for ongoing education and communication.  For more information on NBIMS-US™, visit https://www.nibs.org/nbims.   Tune in monthly to the official podcast of the National Institute of Building Sciences, where host Johnny Fortune and fellow subject matter experts convene to support advances in building science and technology.
