Deliverables

There are four COBie deliverables identified in the COBie Guide. Two are required during design and two during construction. Design deliverables at the 35% and Construction Documents stage of design are required. Construction Deliverables at the Beneficial Occupancy and Fiscal Completion stage are required.

General Information

Responsible
Architect
Expectations
Deliverable should provide accurate representation of spaces and architectural assets, and outline expectations for building systems and services.
Assets
A single COBie Worksheet per building (facility) & Associated Revit Model(s)

Description

The Design and Development Deliverable is the first of the four standard COBie deliverables, and is intended to provide an accurate representation of space and architectural facility assets. At this stage, space assets only need to match the level of detail found in the associated drawings. Other assets such as doors, windows, plumbing, and lighting elements are only required by this deliverable if they are included in the accompanying drawings.

Recognizing systems for heating, cooling, electricity, water, fire protection, and other pertinent services are not likely to be designed at this stage, the Design and Development Deliverable only needs to identify the EXPECTATIONS of those systems. These systems only need to be identified by name and classification, and will not include any reference to the components comprising them.

The following table outlines the data expected to accompany this deliverable:

COBie Worksheet Required Content
Contact One row for the designer’s BIM manager shall be provided.
Facility One facility per COBie file.
Floor One row for each vertical level to include foundations, floors, roofs, and site.
Space One row per functional space, per room. Mult. spaces in a room possible.
Zone One row for each COBie.Space and COBie.Zone type.
Type One row for each scheduled product type found on design drawings.
Component One row for each individual scheduled product found on design drawings.
System One row for each system to be defined in the next stage of design.

Description

The Construction Documents Design Deliverable should reflect the complete set of all spaces, scheduled products, and equipment presented in the accompanying drawings for all disciplines. Although numerous consultants may contribute to the deliverable, it is the Architects responsibly to coordinate the input from each discipline, and compile that information into a single COBie file.

Building upon the information included in the Design Development Deliverable, this deliverable is expected to represent a completed design including all spaces, scheduled products, and equipment assets presented in the drawings. Additionally, all products and equipment should be grouped into systems based on the services they provide throughout the building.

The following table outlines the data expected to accompany this deliverable:

Quality Criteria

COBie design deliverables must reflect data about scheduled assets identified in the associated design deliverables. Since scheduled assets appear on drawings in design schedules, the COBie guide identifies the minimum requirement for schedule table headers. COBie construction deliverables must reflect updates to the designed assets and include construction and commissioning information consistent with that already produced in paper-based formats. Some key considerations include:

One Facility Per Deliverable

Unique Asset Naming

Categories

Large public clients manage different types of facilities on multiple campuses. In COBie this is accomplished through the use of several different types of Classifications. Classifications are “category codes” of different types used in COBie. Classifications are "category codes" of different types used in COBie. The NBIMS-US requires classification for the following COBie worksheets:

NBIMS-US designates OmniClass as the default classification method used if no other method is specified in contract.

Zones

Buildings contain groups of spaces that, when connected, provide specific capabilities to the owner. The COBie.Zone worksheet is designed to identify the spaces that make up a given zone.

In general, zones shall be identified by zone type and characteristics. Zones naming in large facilities shall also be identified floor and wing appended.

A COBie.Space may only be listed once for a given type of zone. A COBie.Space may, however, be part of multiple types of zones.

As an example consider Space “100” in a building where “Circulation Zone” and “Fire Protection” zoning information is required by the owner. In this example Space 100 could be part of the “Circulation Zone - Public” Circulation Zone and the “Fire Protection Zone - First Floor West Wing” Fire Protection Zone. It is not, however, possible for Space 100 to be part of both the “Fire Protection Zone - First Floor West Wing” and “Fire Protection Zone - First Floor East Wing" zones.

Zones may be nested. Nesting must be accomplished through the name of the zone. For example, there may be shared spaces that support both the “Fire Protection Zone - First Floor West Wing” and “Fire Protection Zone - First Floor East Wing” zone. Such zones can be identified in the “Fire Protection Zone - First Floor” zone.

System

Buildings contain groups of components that, when connected, provide specific required services. The COBie.System worksheet is designed to identify the components that make up a given system. In general, systems shall be identified by building service, floor and wing. Subsystems, if required, shall be identified using an owner-approved naming convention.

A COBie.Component may only be listed once for a given type of system. A COBie.Component may, however, be part of multiple types of systems.

As an example consider Component “Sensor – Temperature 101” in a building where “HVAC system” and “Sensor System” information is required by the owner. In this example, the sensor could be part of both the “HVAC System – Chilled Water” and the “BAS System – HVAC Sensors” system. It is not, however, possible for the sensor to be part of both the “HVAC System – Chilled Water” and “HVAC System – First Floor Heating Distribution” system.

Systems may be nested. Nesting must be accomplished through the name of the system. For example a Fire Protection System may have a set of equipment supporting “Fire Protection – Common” and equipment supporting specific areas of the building such a “Fire Protection – First Floor, West Wing” and a “Fire Protection - First Floor, East Wing”.

Units of Measure

COBie models require a single standard set of units of measure for linear, area, and volumetric measures. This unit of measure standard is applied on all units that do not otherwise have units attached. Designers shall designate the required units of measure for their projects for owner approval prior to starting design. All other disciplines shall be required to use the same units of measure defined by the designer.

The architectural model and all other models shall be oriented to “project” north. The difference between project north and magnetic north shall be defined by the architect. The designer shall designate the elevation of the project for a single origin point. Latitude and Longitude shall be defined based on the single origin point. All other disciplines shall be required to reference the project north rotation and elevation origin point designated by the designer.

Given the differences in software implementation of units, it is critical that the design team evaluate their product using small testing models to ensure that this requirement can be met. It would be expected that commercial product COBie points of contact will need to be identified and contacted to reduce post-design or post-construction manual updating of COBie deliverables.

During design the Architect shall be responsible for the manual update of all COBie.Attributes not automatically provided by design software. During construction the Contractor or Commissioning Agent shall be responsible for the manual update of all COBie.Attributes not automatically provided by software used to create their required deliverables.
