This project aims to expedite the availability of IFC 4.3 in software solutions for railway applications. It will do so by continuing the established cooperation and collaboration with software vendors, enabling a use-case-driven implementation and validation process to formally deliver and publish requirements for software vendors to implement and enable a fit-for-purpose checking process for software solutions.

There is a missing link in the IFC openBIM world when it comes to products. There is currently no official MVD for exchanging information about one or several products using IFC. All existing MVD\u2019s are structural project or building based. On the other hand, there is a strong wish from product manufacturers to provide their products in an openBIM format. The CEN created COD (Construction Object Definition) could enable pure product information to be provided in an IFC-based data format. Similar to RFA in Revit or GDL in ArchiCAD, COD could be developed as the solution for this need. This activity proposal is about a technical and applicational proof of concept of COD in buildingSMART as a first step. A second step would be an extension or re-creation of COD as an IFC for Products. A third step should be the promotion of this format to the global community.<\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><td>Product<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"27\" class=\"ninja_table_row_27 nt_row_id_27\">\n            <td>Sep 30, 2022<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/file\/1004701778999?s%3Dphcchko8k2xf3vm50pixojuuhjxnm7cp&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304158476&amp;usg=AOvVaw2P3dqhvCuDfU_dKzzey6r7\">The Guidance for Regulators for using openBIM activity proposal has been reviewed and endorsed by the Standards Committee.

It ensures asset owners can specify accurately what they want and allows project participants with a better insight into what they need to deliver. It adds certainty and clarity when used in combination with other standards and services. With IDS, users can demand and verify the use of properties (including quantities and attributes), materials, classifications, entity types, and object dependency (partOf).

These activities are expected to include the delivery of content and documentation to support sufficient data modelling and exchange of electrical engineering systems among all project stakeholders during the entire life cycle of a built asset project.<\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><td>Electrical<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"35\" class=\"ninja_table_row_35 nt_row_id_35\">\n            <td>Nov 8, 2023<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/tcj2alvt0fcre8rr84174u97esqt3duv&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304164533&amp;usg=AOvVaw0d35t6hzMUz70gzT_xqzDY\">The openBIM for Electrical Engineering Activity Proposal has been reviewed and has been endorsed by the Standards Committee.<\/a><\/div><\/td><td>Approved<\/td><td>The Standards Committee feedback and results can be viewed using the following link.<\/td><td><\/td><td><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/ww1iikp2neftyctiodgoez8sy9qubv5v&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304164820&amp;usg=AOvVaw15jkCcOzDVpaZiYL1H0S02\">View Report<\/a><\/td><td>Electrical<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"36\" class=\"ninja_table_row_36 nt_row_id_36\">\n            <td>Dec 5, 2023<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/github.com\/buildingSMART\/documents-API\/blob\/main\/README.md&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304165599&amp;usg=AOvVaw1moEIx15gqqbrcFafFshkO\">The DocumentsAPI is approved and published as a final standard.<\/a><\/div><\/td><td>Approved<\/td><td>The DocumentsAPI Standard is approved by the Standards Committee Executive as final standard.<\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><td>Technical<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"37\" class=\"ninja_table_row_37 nt_row_id_37\">\n            <td>Feb 15, 2024<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/svc7i95l0lb5gy3nbaerh8f35tgrw4rb&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304166517&amp;usg=AOvVaw2QXwSHHbWmFZj2us9LtC0Z\">The \"Use case 2.06 - Collision check &amp; mechanical integration of medium voltage distribution systems in a building\" Activity Proposal  is now out for review by the Standards Committee.<\/a><\/div><\/td><td>Out for Review<\/td><td>The \"Use case 2.06 - Collision check &amp; mechanical integration of medium voltage distribution systems in a building\" Activity Proposal  is now out for review by the Standards Committee.

If you would like access to the board please email your request to contact@buildingsmart.org.<br><br>The main themes from the discussion were; Education, Governance, Capturing Industry Requirements and openBIM Core Standards &amp; Services Development.<br><br>We have summarised the comments into the following Questions &amp; Answers.<br><br>Q. We need more openBIM Education if we are to apply it effectively in our workplaces.<br>A. Agreed. The Professional Certification Practitioner and Management modules will be coming out soon, and I definitely intend to do one of them. We strongly recommend that all Domain Leaders do a module even if it is the Foundation, and prior to that the Entry level (Both of which are already available).<br><br>Q. We need clearer explanation of the overall governance and who is responsible for doing what, including the management of the links between the programs and the Domains.<br>A. The latest revision to the bSI Process is in preparation now and it will include all this. I am going to release it with an overview and then a series of Annexes focusing on individual programs such as: The Strategic Projects, Domains Program, Organisational Structure, etc.<br><br>Q. We need to know what is happening in the Chapters with regards to Domain mirroring and who is involved?<br>A. We cannot provide a database of Chapter members but we do encourage use of the new bSI Communications portal to build up those communication links. This is in its early stages, but you can find it <a href=\"https:\/\/community.buildingsmart.org\/\">here<\/a>.<br><br>Q. The core standards need developing if we are going to achieve maximum benefit from openBIM. IFC 5 for example is much needed.<br>A. Yes. When a Domain identifies a need for IFC improvement, following a gap analysis of requirements vs capability, you can make requests through GitHub (The link is in the process presentation). Importantly, you can directly support and accelerate this work by providing sponsorship funding to the Strategic Project team who are working on defining IFC 5, and other core standards and services.<br><br>Q. The bSDD library definition and identification of legitimate versions needs to be improved.<br>A. OK. We\u2019ll take this point to our bSDD Product Manager and get a fuller response. It may be part of the bSDD Strategic Project scope which we are seeking funding for.<br><br>Q. How are Domain portfolios decided? Some seem very generic whereas others are more sector specific. Also, why wouldn\u2019t Hospital or Airport say, be a project within Building or Infrastructure?<br>A. Its partly historical and partly living with the ambiguity. Hospital and Airport are programs because they will contain multiple projects. However, they would only concentrate on entities that are very specific to their sector. For example, baggage handling equipment would be legitimate in Airport but foundations or roofing (say) would not. It is also a way of enabling more members with industry knowledge, to sit on Executive Committees and contribute their leadership.<br><br>Q. Should the Domains be assisting Software Vendors to understand systems development? We are not really equipped to do so.<br>A. This is really a role for the Implementors Forum and the General Assembly of Implementors. <br><br>We look forward to continuing to work with you on the adoption of openBIM workflows.<\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><td>All Domains<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"44\" class=\"ninja_table_row_44 nt_row_id_44\">\n            <td>Jul 3, 2025<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/csyrpexzr4w71wp54rutz2q9f67btglf&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304173266&amp;usg=AOvVaw1CKoiYKZ8QP0Or43aypBMA\">Occupant Movement Analysis IDS Technical Report is out for final review<\/a><\/div><\/td><td>Out for Review<\/td><td>The Fire Safety project team working under the management of the bSI Building Domain steering committee has issued a final technical report for the IDS for Occupant Movement Analysis project.

This project develops the IFC 5 Core, defining essential concepts for future domain-specific extensions. Work is closely coordinated with ISO, under ISO\/TC 59\/SC 13 JWG 12, and will result in a new part of the ISO 16739 series.

It also authorised sharing the consultation results, including the Chapters\u2019 letter, on which the SCE remains neutral.<\/td><td><\/td><td><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/qjbiolq5np6b49fgxezfhpgk6kvxq9k8&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304175910&amp;usg=AOvVaw2K8P79pYjjomAzJ__EACus\">View Report<\/a><\/td><td>All Domains<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"48\" class=\"ninja_table_row_48 nt_row_id_48\">\n            <td>Sep 24, 2025<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/csyrpexzr4w71wp54rutz2q9f67btglf&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304176192&amp;usg=AOvVaw1Xs1uxD3PpJT7rZMcVuzaY\">Occupant Movement Analysis Technical Report<\/a><\/div><\/td><td>Approved<\/td><td>The Standards Committee return on the votes was 33 Yes 3 No which achieves the 65% pass rate threshold.<\/td><td><\/td><td><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/ndvj69s42cg1n7ih826n3f0t2v0dxkln&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304176394&amp;usg=AOvVaw0R-Cla5tec51xFXljr3E2b\">View Report<\/a><\/td><td>Building<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"49\" class=\"ninja_table_row_49 nt_row_id_49\">\n            <td>Oct 17, 2025<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/3z5eqdhggjp67z5mwwoewflv6qyag34z&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1766178304176650&amp;usg=AOvVaw0XABBh0jLKe05-CFiq4ZhY\">Voting for the Standards Committee Executive is now open<\/a><\/div><\/td><td>Consultation<\/td><td>The buildingSMART International Community is invited to elect five additional members to the Standards Committee Executive (SCE).<br>This is an important governance body for managing the development of openBIM Standards and Services.<br><br>Appendix 3, \u00a73.2 of the Bye-Laws states that eligible nominees must:<br>\u2022           Demonstrate relevant technical expertise or industry user perspective in support of bSI\u2019s standardisation activities<br>\u2022           Show commitment to the mission of buildingSMART<br>\u2022           Have experience in open collaboration and international standardisation<br>\u2022           Be able to contribute actively, including attending monthly online meetings and occasional preparation or follow-up work<br><br>The responsibilities of the SCE include:<br>\u2022           To design and keep up to date appropriate business processes for the smooth and effective running of the Solutions &amp; Standards program.<br>\u2022           To administer the day-to-day operation of the Solutions &amp; Standards program<br>\u2022           To maintain and keep up to date a schedule of activities in the Solutions &amp; Standards Work Program.<br>\u2022           To act as the formal liaison committee for the Standards Committee with third parties such as ISO and OGC<br>[Note: Many of these activities are delegated with the SCE providing oversight]<br><br>Please review the nominees from this <a href=\"https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/3z5eqdhggjp67z5mwwoewflv6qyag34z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">link<\/a> and contact your local Standards Committee representative to express your preference.<\/td><td>Nov 12, 2025<\/td><td><\/td><td>All Domains<\/td>        <\/tr>\n            <tr data-row_id=\"50\" class=\"ninja_table_row_50 nt_row_id_50\">\n            <td>Nov 13, 2025<\/td><td><div class=\"softmerge-inner\" style=\"width:242px;left:-1px\">Standards Committee Executive Election Results<\/div><\/td><td>Approved<\/td><td>The voting for the <b>Standards Committee Executive (SCE)<\/b> has now concluded.
