From Foundational Standards to Global Transformation: Exploring openBIM's Impact on the AEC Industry
This webinar is part of the RAIC 2024 Conference on Architecture, now available to stream!
Topics: Innovation in Materials, Technology and Construction
Length: 1 hour | What's Included: Video, Quiz, and Certificate of Completion
This session will outline two foundational and internationally recognized BIM standards. The first standard covers established BIM processes and the other the standards of data exchange via openBIM. An understanding of that the standards are and how it will impact the future of architectural practice. A global review of how BIM has advanced as well as the recent benchmarking of the Canadian digital journey in the industry and the government’s digitization roadmap will be covered. We will also discuss resources being developed for the Canadian AECOOM industry to support the digital transformation, including an update to the BIM Contract Appendix, the nationalization of ISO 19650 and the interest from government on the need for Digital Twins.
By the completion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the foundational standards of openBIM
- Discuss building SMART Internationals role in standardized data exchange
- Recognize the global state of digital transformation
- Interpret the government digitization roadmap
