Abstract

A building which has been modeled by using Building Information Modeling (BIM)

software, has a graphical information which is the 3D geometry, and non-graphical

information which is the data of this geometry.This data can be exported in many formats like

Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) format to use it in Facility

Management (FM) and Operation & Maintenance (O&M) during the building lifecycle.
