Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBIE)
COBIE allows the exchange of IFC-based facility management data. To view the data, however, a spreadsheet is a more readable format than IFC-Express or ifcXML. As a result a spreadsheet that contains the required COBIE data has been created.
