Plutinsus joins IBPDI

BuildingMinds, RICS, Microsoft and pom+ have come together to form the International Building Performance and Data Initiative (IBPDI) on February 27, 2020. The object is to create the “International Building Performance & Data Standard”, consisting of the “International Building Operations Standard” (IBOS) and the Common Data Model for Real Estate.

Plutinsus is joining this important initiative as a member of the Digital Building Twin cluster. The various IBPDI clusters cover the data that is related to the operation phase of a building. Such a comprehensive standard will drive innovation and reduce the cost to implement smarter buildings that are more energy-efficient and have a lower cost of maintenance.
