COBie and IFC, explained plainly
No jargon, no filler. Just what the standard asks for and how to meet it without a week of transcription.

COBie (Construction-Operations Building information exchange) is the non-geometric data an owner needs to operate a building once it is built, delivered as a structured spreadsheet. It is a defined subset of the IFC model, not a drawing.
