What’s the Business Problem ?

2002 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Study

Quantified efficiency losses in the U.S. capital facilities industry from inadequate interoperability

Design, engineering, facilities management, and business processes software systems Redundant paper records management Entire facility life-cycle.

Estimated inadequate interoperability costs $15.8 billion

“Likely to be a conservative figure” - NIST

Two-thirds of costs borne by owners and operators, predominantly during ongoing facility operation and maintenance.

Rule of thumb: 90% of cost of a facility incurred during operations and maintenance

Challenge: Aging Workforce

US Utility industry Survey 2004

Today, 50% of the utility workforce is aged 45 or more.

The potential loss of knowledge base is a critical issue. Security Safety Productivity


The Vision: Seamless Access

Interoperability across the lifecycle of buildings and infrastructure Design, construction, and operation.

Interoperability among domains Architectural Design Civil Engineering Design Infrastructure Management GIS

Key Enabling Technologies

Standards for interoperability

Building information model design applications

Gaming and 3D visualization

Web technologies



Standards for InteroperabilityIAI IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI)

Alliance of organizations dedicated to bring about a coordinated change for the improvement of productivity and efficiency in the construction and facilities management industry (Building Smart).

IFC/ifcXML Common Model, also known as Industry Foundation Classes, which is defined using an XML schema.

NBIMS NIBS National Institute of Building Sciences BIM is a shared digital representation founded on open standards for

interoperability. Common life-cycle information model for the A/E/C and Facilities

Management industry.

OGC OWS (Open Web Services) Web Mapping Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Geographic

Markup Language (GML), and other services.

SummaryConvergence Driven by construction industry Inflection point for emergency responders

Requires integration among domains Architecture, civil engineering, infrastructure management,

GIS, 3D visualization environments, and internet technologies.

BIM/GIS/CAD integration Interoperability across the lifecycle of buildings and

infrastructure. Supports integration of real-world architectural, engineering

and geospatial data 3D visualization using industry-standard COTS tools Universal access via a web-based user interface
