Abstract:
As a standard being used for delivering the data from construction stage to operation stage, COBie is being more mature in recent years and is being supported by many software vendors, and this standard is being adopted in some of the oversea projects. The BIM standard in Shanghai has proposed its own information exchange template for construction-operation based on COBie. The COBie standard is an information exchange standard based on IFC, which is a subset (COBie MVD) extracted from IFC according to the Information Delivery Manual (IDM) between the construction and operation phases. The application of COBie in the digital delivery process needs to consider the demand of the owner in a comprehensive way regarding to the project data, and also need to consider the collection and archive of the data from different project participant under different environment. There is certain requirement toward BIM modelling and data collection process during the implementation of COBie, and also needs different procedures with IFC format and Revit software. COBie enables FM teams, end-users and owners to access data and documents of the facilities and its relevant space in a much convenient way. The transfer of the delivery process from paper-based to digital-based has wide application in the AEC industry.
