Multiple Choice

COBie stands for which of the following?

COBie stands for Construction Operations Building Information Exchange. The core idea is that COBie is a data standard used to organize and hand over building information from design and construction teams to facilities management, ensuring asset data, spaces, systems, warranties, and other important details are clearly structured and accessible for operation and maintenance. This makes it easier for the owner's facilities team to manage the building after handover and ties the design/construction data to practical, real-world use. The other options don’t fit because they don’t match the actual wording or purpose of the acronym: it’s not about commercial operations, nor about “construction of” building information exchange, nor a “code” of building information exchange.
