COBie
2.3Background
The COBie specification was initially published for NBIMS-US™ V2 (National BIM Standard-United States®) and was defined as a Model View Definition (MVD) of IFC (Industry Foundation Classes). The release of NBIMS-US V3 in 2015 included the most current version of the COBie specification, V2.4. Since that time, the COBie Work Group at NIBS has been working on updating COBie to better align with the evolution of BIM in the US. This work has culminated in a new V3 to be released in 2023 and as part of NBIMS-US V4.
National BIM Standard-United States® (NBIMS-US™) Version 4
The NBIMS-US™ v4 is a consensus-based national-level standard focused on defining standard approaches and guidelines to defining requirements, planning BIM adoption, and exchanging information between project team members. MORE
