COBie, the Construction Operations Building information exchange, is the first of many standards to help support the transfer of data between software and stakeholders across the architecture, engineering, construction and facility management industry. Improved data transfer can help improve organizational effectiveness while reducing operations and maintenance costs.
As a result of recent and continuing leadership to support COBie, Facility Engineering Associates has been added as a firm providing support services on the buildingSMART alliance Information Exchanges Means and Methods Page: http://www.buildingsmartalliance.org/index.php/projects/cobie
