oBIX is just a standards committee, not an organization like
MIMOSA. oBIX endorsing buildingSmart is like TCP/IP endorsing buildingSmart. Having
said that, clearly buildingSmart is an _expression_ of the values that caused me
to get involved with oBIX.
I had a long conversation with Alan Johnston last Wednesday
night on MIMOSA members who might want to participate in the ONTOLOG BSP
Project.
Here is the skinny version:
-
Building systems are there to provide services. These services
are business services such as “happy customers”, “alert
office workers”, or “regulatory compliance for pharma storage”
-
These services can be identified very early in the process
because they are tied to business uses of the space: “Retail Space”,
“Office Space”, “Pharmacy”. This ties to a key
buildingSmart value “Make decisions early with effective owner
involvement”
-
One could define performance metrics for these services if we
could define these services.
-
One could gather data and develop heuristics to enhance energy
modeling based upon the service expected.
-
With performance metrics and expected energy, we now have a more
interesting design/bid conversation. “I want to achieve a .87 or better
Healthy Office Building index at $n.nn / sf”
-
One of the Master System Integrators tasks would be to collect
the underlying NV tag information and express it as the performance metric.
-
A self commissioning building can report its operations in terms
of the metric, providing a key understandable component of a building
dashboard.

long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which
has opened for us." -- Alexander Graham Bell

Toby -
I saw your
reply about CABA/oBIX. There is a link which you missed. MIMOSA,
while not yet signed onto the buildingSMARTalliance, does have an active
relationship with FIATECH. This relationship started from the NIBS/FMOC
meetings. MIMOSA and FIATECH are very much involved in the O&M issues
which are of interest to oBIX. I agree that with the exception of COBIE,
the buildingSMARTalliance has not directed a great deal of attention to O&M
interests. However, COBIE is a primary product of the buildingSMARTalliance and
National Building Information Model Standard project. It would be good to
see oBIX and CABA added to the orgs supporting buildingSMART.
