Join us as we dive into this fascinating topic and discover the many benefits of open standards in the AECOO industry.

In the AECOO industry, communication and collaboration between different stakeholders are essential for successful project delivery. However, this is often easier said than done, as each stakeholder may use different software, tools, and processes that don't always align.

 This is where open standards like BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) and IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) come into play. These standards provide a common language that allows stakeholders to share information and data seamlessly. They help ensure that all parties involved in a project are on the same page, reducing misunderstandings and improving the overall quality of the project.

But open standards in the AECOO industry go beyond just communication and collaboration. They also help to promote innovation and encourage the adoption of new technologies. Open standards enable developers to create new tools and software that can easily integrate with existing systems, making it easier for stakeholders to take advantage of the latest advancements in technology. Open standards can also lead to cost savings, increased efficiency and more!

 In this video, we'll explore the power of open standards in the AECOO industry and how they are transforming the way we work. We'll hear from Håvard Bell, founder of Catenda, a buildingSMART International fellow, and one of the pioneers of openness in the industry and see examples of how open standards are being used to make our planet a better place.
