1 Status FMie (openbim based Facilities Management information exchange) Report to buildingsmart International Tokyo October 2012 FMie interim Project management Group; Inge Aarseth, Brynjulf Skjulsvik and Lars Chr Christensen Presented by Kjell Ivar Bakkmoen South-Eastern Norway Health Region Authority

2 Present situation as we see it, Information level FM Information Minimum level of FM information openbim / Fmie new IFC4 Psets Identify missing/wanted information and propose/establish new IFC4 Psets and Property -names. COBie/ other systems COBie/ other systems Then each party can use this information further - either Software Vendors, COBie,3rd party software, etc. BIM-prog BIM-prog IFC2x3 IFC4

3 Project scope: openbim FM / FMie Scope of work: From a Facility Management perspective, we want to identify and map relevant IFC4 Property Sets, Quantity Sets and Properties. Identify the minimum level of information for Facility Management, in relations to property sets and property names, of a representative selection of building objects. Enrich the openbim IFC4 standard by producing and delivering a list of proposed new Property names and Property Sets which is necessary from a Facility Management perspective.

4 Project scope: openbim FM / FMie Other effects: Ease the process of identification and registration of new properties (property names) necessary for Facility Management. Show the link between functional products in classification systems and building objects, Property Sets and Property names.

5 Business need new proposal : openbim FM As a builder / owner - from a Facility Management perspective, we considered the information available in the existing systems as insufficient, especially in relation to the different phases of a building project A clear and unique property definition is also crucial for the different software vendors, in order to let different software easily communicate on the same model without having to map different contexts together. In order to open up for third parties software developers and Apps developers, we need more standardization of the property fields and property sets.

6 Business need new proposal : openbim FM Other benefits: Gives BuildingSMART the possibility to have a minimum level of property sets and property names to be included in the IFC export and import in order to develop IDM (PM, ER and MVD) for efficient workflow and IFC4 certification of software. Manufacturers get information about what type of information the customers / end users need in order to operate the products. The FMie-web application gives a better overview and accessibility of product properties. This can be achieved by exporting data directly from the web-application. All parties can easily get access to the system through this database contribute in creating the necessary Properties.

7 openbim FM / FMie, what do we want to achieve? (We have focus on the I in BIM, not geometry) Establish standardized building object information on property field level based on the need from Facility Management, which is not already in IFC4. Build upon the existing Psets and property fields within IFC4. Establishing Psets and Property fields for a representative selection of building objects. Allowing information to have different values in different building phases Contribute to solve the problems with complete round-trip between software vendors. The information gets the same name in all software (avoiding spam sets). Side effects: A web-tool to get easy access to the property sets and property fields already established in IFC4, which could be used by others also.

8 Status Due to the positive response to FMie (openbim FM) at the IUG meeting in March 2012, the FMie-project decided to change the property registration tool (webdatabase) into being international from the beginning. At the meeting in March 2012 we sorted out a way to implement the result of this project into IFC4, in a dialogue with the leader of MSG, Thomas LIebich. This summer we have had a meeting with Bill East, in order to ensure that FMie and COBie are complementing each other. Due to the need for tool updates/changes, a process for getting more funding for the FMie-project was initiated. This process was mostly completed in early october. bs Norway will have the ownership of the web-tool. However, the content/result shall be free to use for the whole industry. The idea is also that the properties defined can be stored both in the model and linked databases.

9 Status The FMie-database UI will be English. We are looking into the possibility to design it multi-lingual, - in order to give the different bs chapters a better tool to use in proposing new property fields and property sets and also give a boost to the bsdd content. The FMie-database redesign will commence in October and the software solution will be available in November/December. We are planning with a time period of 6 months for the different Norwegian domain groups to work on FM property definition. This work will be open for the different international bs chapters to participate in. Thomas Liebich has stipulated an additional approx months for the process of quality assurance - after the result from the workgroups are finished, before the result is implemented as a technical addendum to the IFC4-standard. The target is to finish this first phase of populating the Fmie-database within 2013, and that the result is implemented into IFC4 in the first half of After that the web tool can be used as an ongoing registration tool for future property enhancements and extensions
