Development of Reference Building Information Model (BIM) Test Cases for Improving Usage of Software Interoperability Schemas

Sponsor: 1.5 Computer Applications, MTG.BIM Building Information Modeling

Chair: Stephen Roth, P.E., Member, Carmel Software, San Rafael, CA

This seminar discusses the results of ASHRAE RP-1810 "Development of Reference Building Information Model (BIM) Test Cases for Improving Usage of Software Interoperability Schemas". The key objective of this research project was to develop a series of standardized test cases for BIM and building performance software tool vendors to employ so as to ensure that valid modelling data can be used by other building performance software. This research project also included the development of a robust, accessible, web-based validation software tool for simple data validation and basic model checking.
