BIMStorm in the Clouds - Santa Clara, CA, July, 2009
- Takeaways from Connectivity Week
- The BIMstorm presentation made a huge impression on me and
set my mind reeling as to what a Connectivitystorm with real time grid
and building data might look like. If you have never see a BIMstorm (
Building Information Model ) brainstorm you must. It will alter your
approach to problems by showing you the power that resides in the
clouds. - Ken Sinclair
ONUMA System and TOKMO Demonstrate Live Web Services Links - Pasadena,
CA, June 30, 2009
- For the first time, a live web services link between TOKMO
and Onuma demonstrates live cost estimating on the AECOO project.
- The AECOO Office building BIM is started in Onuma for
early planning. Uniformat definitions for the project as well as
specification on floor, ceiling and other materials are defined in
Onuma. As the project is created in Onuma it is immediately available
via web services. TOKMO picks up the project data live through the
internet and immediately starts to generate cost data. Changes to the
project in Onuma create a second scheme, with the changes immediately
accessible in TOKMO.

demonstration.

Two BIMStorms for the buildingSMART alliance - National Institute of
Building Sciences
- South Africa is the only country in the world with three
national capitals. The plan is to move them to one location in Tshwane.
Join us in this historic BIMStorm
facilitated by the National Capital Planning Commission in Washington
DC as part of the Capitals Alliance Conference.
- Alexandria, Virginia is the first non military facility
that is going to go through a Base Realignment and Closing (BRAC). The
impact is thousands of jobs moving out of Alexandria. Join us in planning the future of
Alexandria.

Washington DC July 23, 2008
*The Onuma System was used in the buildingSMART alliance / US Army
Corps of engineers demonstration of COBIE for life cycle use of BIM
data.
- Onuma demonstrated live editing and manipulation of BIM
data using Onuma and output COBIE formatted data.
- This demonstrated the power of using open standards
exchanges and creation of data in real time using the Onuma Model
Server and editor.
- Results will be posted on the Whole Building Design Guide

BIMStorm Coming to Your City
- "This was the super-stoked collaboration track, nicknamed
the Woodstock of BIM, because the idea behind it was to shake loose
from the old ways and throw everybody together into one big sandbox to
be as playful and inventive as they wanted — not only
architects and engineers, but code reviewers, specialists in Leed
certification, green consultants, and structural analysts. After a
24-hour Internet session, conducted in real time with no lag, 420
virtual buildings had been created over 54,755,153 square feet of
territory."

Technology in Architectural Practice BIM Award - Capability Maturity
Model
- ONUMA Inc. was awarded two AIA TAP BIM Awards in 2007
- The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) rating of the ONUMA
entries were rated at "Gold" and "Platinum" with scores of 85.7 and
95.5 as reported in AECbytes
- The CMM measures multiple aspects of the BIM for practices
and process
- Although it is not intended to be used to "score" one BIM
against another it is a valuable tool to measure the goals of
supporting higher levels of use of BIM. ONUMA focuses on how much to
extend the value of data in the BIM through the use of open and
interoperable standards. This is reflected in the two projects for
ONUMA having a very high rating including the only project to have a
"Platinum" rating.
- ONUMA believes that in order to achieve true
interoperability and support "Integrated Practice" as defined by the
AIA, a high CMM and the use of open standards is a neccessity.
