Building Information Modeling (BIM) for federal buildings is a cooperative working methodology with which, based on digital models of a building, the information and data relevant to its life cycle are consistently recorded, managed and exchanged between those involved in transparent communication or handed over for further processing become. This information and data is documented digitally throughout and according to a uniform structure. Further information can be found in the BMVg information flyer (see downloads). To implement the BIM method for federal buildings, the goals and implementation strategy were described in a master plan. This is, among other things, the basis for a BIM manual in which the work aids (AH) required for operational safety are gradually developed and published for all relevant subject areas. The master plan and completed AH are available for download in the download area. 

This, relating to the year 2022, is the sixth analytical report produced by OICE on public tenders for the awarding of architectural and engineering services (S.A.I.) which involve the use of BIM methodologies or, better said, the electronic modeling of the design phase. 

e-Leap in Construction From the recovery and resilience facility’s funds for digital transformation in enterprises 4,5 million euros will be invested in digitalizing the Estonian construction sector. Under the name ehituse e-hüpe / e-leap in construction the funding programme is aimed at Estonian companies and institutions working in or with the construction sector, in order to develop or use digital tools and to expand the services offered on the Estonian e-construction platform. The programme is managed by Estonian Ministry of Economy together with the State Shared Service Centre. 

buildingSMART Chapter Slovenia is a local branch of the international organization buildingSMART International (bSI), which is the leading initiator of the development of “open BIM” standards in the field of digitalization of the built environment. buildingSMART Chapter Slovenia operates within the Association for Information Modeling of Construction, siBIM. The mission of the buildingSMART Chapter Slovenia is the promotion of open BIM in Slovenia and everything related to it: support for the development of open standards in bSI and local promotion and implementation at home. The main goal is to educate the stakeholders involved, to implement current transfers of information and data within BIM processes with the help of developed open standards, especially between all software tools. BuildingSMART Chapter Slovenia has set itself the following specific tasks for the period 2021 – 2023: · Raising awareness and educating the Slovenian professional public about the importance of open BIM standards; · Active participation in local initiatives related to the digitization of the built environment; · Organizing the implementation of bSI educational programs and certifications; · Encouraging and involving our members in working groups within bSI; · Cooperation with other Chapters and exchange of experiences.

The Slovenian Association for Information Modelling of Works (abbreviated name is Association siBIM, abbreviated as siBIM) is a voluntary, independent, and non-profit organisation that brings together engineers and supporters of engineering fields who actively participate or want to participate in information modelling of buildings of the built environment (BIM), with the aim of organized integration and education, professional development, mutual socialization and exchange of experience. The association was founded on 30.1.2015 in Ljubljana on the initiative of individuals from the construction industry and the university. The founding assembly was home to 32 interested engineers and experts from all over Slovenia who represented the fields of civil engineering, architecture, mechanical engineering, ICT, economics, etc. The objectives of the association are to: – Education and information of members and the general public on information modelling of the built environment (BIM approaches, BIM-technologies), its practical application and developments in this field. – Organisation of education, consultations, workshops and conferences on information modelling (BIM) of the built environment. – Organisation and assistance in the preparation of working groups, preparation of guidelines and recommendations for the profession. – Providing examples of good practice in the field of information modelling (BIM) of the built environment and promoting the exchange of experience between members. – Representation of the interests of all Slovenian sectors operating in the field of information modelling (BIM) of the built environment at international level. – Cooperation in the preparation of guidelines and regulations in the field of information modelling of the built environment. – Connecting with related associations in the world. The siBIM website contains information on how to join the association as well as lots of other useful information for BIM adoption relevant to Slovenia. The site contains information about the association, news and current events. As well as this information there is also a document collection which shares useful info such as the manual for the implementation of BIM and the Guide to introducing information modelling in the European public sector.

Public institution “Skaitmenine statyba” (“Digital Construction“) is an organization that joins associations of Lithuanian construction sector and coordinates the digitalization process of Lithuanian construction.

This website is focused on Green and Energy Efficiency Building in Vietnam. The website is collated and hosted by the Ministry of Construction (MOC) to promote this topic within industry. The project is to improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings and high-rise apartments in Vietnam. It is funded and supported by the United Nations Development Program/Global Environment Facility (UNDP/GEF). The project aims to reduce the intensity of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the Construction industry in Vietnam over the next few years. The direct objective of the project is to improve energy efficiency in commercial and apartment buildings in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi. This objective is accomplished through three components (1) Improving the enforcement capacity of the Code on Energy Efficient Buildings; (2) Initiatives to support the development of the construction market; and (3) Applications and replication of energy-saving construction technologies. Each component includes a number of complementary activities designed to remove barriers to strict implementation of the Code and greater adoption of energy-saving technologies, systems and practices. in construction in commercial buildings and high-rise apartments. The website contains lots of useful information about how to provide greener and more energy efficient buildings. Whilst not directly BIM focused the site make references back to the BIM initiatives in Vietnam and the importance of this in the next steps. The website has lots of news and updates as well as containing resources such as documents and support tools / templates which can be used.
