COBie
1.1OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
The National BIM Standard-United States® (NBIMS-US™) Construction to Operations Building information exchange (COBie) is a data format and process standard. Its purpose is to assist project teams with capturing and delivering data related to the maintainable assets of a facility in a digital format, with the goal of reducing or even eliminating the delay between handover (after design and construction) and when the facilities management system can begin the operations and maintenance of those maintainable assets.
The maintainable assets of a facility for COBie are those items that the owner of a facility will manage in an Operations & Maintenance system. They can include mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, plumbing fixtures, and other items that require maintenance, upkeep, and replacement.
