Open standard building information models (BIM) for information exchange

By Jonathan Eisen   Posted in Buildings
Posted on October 23, 2011May 31, 2012

Not microbiology here per se but good to see that on the building side of things there is continuous effort to improve the sharing of information and that “openness” is considered important.  See Common BIM Files Now Available to Help Verify Exchange of Building Information | Whole Building Design Guide for more information.
