The Virtual Buildings Quality System is a Victoria Government sponsored initiative to provide a standard open protocol syntax to permit generic and reliable links to be created between applications and data repositories, a standard labelling convention for the way data can be labelled, or tagged, and a logical parent/child relationship for data. This straightforward system makes possible the calling up of useful information from a range of applications including Building Information Models and FM services systems to link to associated data sets seamless, regardless of what stage in the building life-cycle.
This presentation will describe and explain the Virtual Buildings Quality System, it’s alignment with BIMMEPAUS and how it can be applied to both green and brown field projects to ensure the effective transfer of high-value data to building owners and facility managers, and how it will be made available to industry.
The Thursday 21st February MelBIM event will be hosted at RMIT Swanston Academic Building (SAB), 445 Swanston St, Lecture Theatre 80.07.01 – Level 7. Arrival is from 5:15PM with presentations commencing at 5:45PM.
