- Contribute to prISO 16757-5
Construction building information modelling
This standard will permit the development of HVAC product catalogues that are not dedicated to a single manufacturer, but may include products from both large manufacturers and SMEs. Without such a standard, each manufacturer must develop its own, proprietary, product catalogue, which represents a cost that an SME manufacturer cannot afford.
EN ISO 16757-5 will also enable calculation software suppliers to integrate all BIM catalogues complying with the standard, with a single exchange format. This will enable software users to seamlessly browse products described in different product catalogue platforms.

Construction building information modelling
The European construction sector (including the process of design) is mainly made up of SMEs and suffers from a strong segmentation. Such a fragmentation has deep consequences regarding the digitization of the construction industry: unlike the aeronautics or automotive industries, there aren't a few major leaders able to impose a collaborative platform on all project participants (Airbus or Boeing do this). CDEs are a tool for implementing collaborative processes, but the absence of a standardized framework is preventing their widespread use. This project aims at developing a CDE framework that could help overcome the difficulties generated by the fragmentation of this sector.

- AFNOR PPBIM GE2 Chair
Construction building information modelling
My activity will ensure that AFNOR will provide impactful contributions to the EN ISO 16739 revisions and to the projects within the scope of CN PPBIM/GE 2.
IFC 4.4 will provide a common neutral IFC based standard for infrastructure related asset management and construction activities which will support a common European market and enable equal access to European IT companies
IFC 5/X may provide a modular framework, through a multi-part EN ISO 16739 standard (e.g. a 16739-10 part for the core elements, a 16739-11 part for the interoperability elements, domain parts from 16739-20 to 16739-32 for the Architecture domain, Electrical domain, HVAC domain, ...). This will allow software providers to implement only parts of the 16739 series and ease its adoption by any company, whatever its size, especially SMEs.
Compatible revisions will ease the adoption of BIM by SMEs and help manage built assets which lifecycle extends over decades.
