What I thought…(COBie is a spreadsheet):
Design/Manufacturer
Data
FM System
What is COBie?A concept or idea?A process? (as in the “COBie process”?)
A spreadsheet? (as in “COBie spreadsheet”?)
A specification? (as in “COBie specification”?)
A data format? (as in “COBie data”?)
A model? (as in “COBie model”?)
A solution? (to the “COBie problem statement”?)
Mike Kenig
Gathering the data:• Job crawl• Manually gather as
it comes in• File Transfer• Automatic Transfer
– IFC (spff or XML)
Transferring the data:• Manually enter it• Import file
– Custom interface– Spreadsheet
• Automatic Transfer– IFC (spff or XML)
The Problem
Information Exchange: Manual
Design
Manufacturing Construction
Operation
Data is gathered through manual input
The Solution
Information Exchange: Example Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet: human readable REQUIRES

Problem• Manual Process
– Constant Recollection of Data• Lack of Uniformity
– Design Team, Subcontractors, Facility Operator
• Inefficiencies from Commissioning to FM OPS
• Inefficient Access to Documents (Warranty, StartUp, etc…)
04-May-11 / 25
Metrics – Anticipated Effects• Reduction in Data Entry Time
• Accessibility of Documentation Improved
• Time Reduction from Commissioning to full FM Operations
• More Efficient Use of FTE’s = $ Savings
• Improved Data Uniformity and Quality

“The Hard Work”Process Change & Implementation
• Engaged 3rd Party - Maximo (MEA) Integration
• Determined Data Attributes to be Collected
• Modified Maximo to Accommodate New Attribute Types Collected
• Assessed COBie Spreadsheet and Aligned with Business Needs
• Planned for Data Collection, Exchange and Quality Assurance
28
“The Hard Work”Process Change & Implementation• Commissioned Subs for Data Collection
• Tested: Import / Collection Processes– Assessed and Modified as Needed– Repeated (Multiple Times)
• Launched Live Data Uploads
New Process
30
Metrics/Results/Conclusions1) Time/Financial Savings
2) Data Quality / Uniformity Improvements
3) Repeatable Process - Efficiencies Generating Savings to be Invested in Future Growth.
Recommendations1) Collect SN’s and Barcode at Dock Receiving
2) Partner with Vendor - SN’s in Advance of Shipment
3) Engage 3rd Party Software Support Early
4) Allow Ample Time for Import Testing
Challenges & Lessons
Discussion?
Information Exchange lessons…• How you “gather” AND how you “transfer”
• Spreadsheet vs. IFC? (may vary by stage)
• More effort initially for future benefit
More Information Exchange lessons…• It’s not about the BIM model (it’s the data!)
• It takes a village… have to have multiple champions (including IT!)
• And, the BIG ONE: Is it all or nothing?!
