Re: [bsp-forum] Mission Statement

["Deborah MacPherson" <debmacp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Even if the mission stays small and brief

- standards that describe needs over the lifecycle of the entity (agreed upon performance metrics)
- ways for the entity to measure against the standards
- feedback to the entity that tells it what is actually happening and then evaluates the feedback in light of the standards.

and the concerns about open interoperability and licenses should be added to the first list of primary problems in the charter so as many people as possible can understand

A couple of comments to add to the mix:

1. In the context of the BIMstorms and what we have dubbed as 'BIG BIM'; BIM is an organizing structure for data connecting to a geolocated entity in the built environment. It is not a physical model. The data interacting via the BIM can come from anywhere and can be touched/manipulated/evaluated/etc. by anyone (or anything).

- If someone still needs to see plans & specifications, they can. Even though in this environment it is totally unnecessary.
- If someone else needs to see how a change to a parameter affects their business metrics, they can.
- If a building system component needs information to drive a function, it can pull the data and push the results.
- If an external event relates to or affects the entity, the BIM reacts appropriately (issuing warnings, adjusting metrics, etc.).

It is very much a living, breathing virtual construct of reality with all the associated interactions and issues.

2. In light of the above and the information recently posted, is this really about figuring out the metrics and mechanisms that will all input and feedback (actual performance) to design/implementation? If I follow the discussion it seems as though the missing ingredients are:

- standards that describe needs over the lifecycle of the entity (agreed upon performance metrics)
- ways for the entity to measure against the standards
- feedback to the entity that tells it what is actually happening and then evaluates the feedback in light of the standards.

All done in ways that allow anyone (or anything) to drill down to the finest detail or to simplify the data to fit their individual need, whenever and wherever. They get just the right information for each specific condition, no more no less.

I may be looking at this too much of the project delivery perspective. However, when the BIM is seen as the ultimate data aggregator; building services performance components become input/feedback loops directly interacting and reporting whenever and wherever necessary.
