June 4, 2014: Vision Task Force Predicts How Buildings Will Be Built in 2021
It Focuses on Defining, Forecasting, and in Some Cases, Guessing at the Future of the Building Industry
WASHINGTON — A task force of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) buildingSMART Alliance™ has launched a new website to offer visitors a glimpse into the not-too-distant future of the building industry.
The alliance is developer of the nation’s building information modeling (BIM) standard — National BIM Standard - United States® (NBIMS-US™). Its NBIMS-US Planning Committee formed the NBIMS-US 2021 Vision Task Force (VTF) last year to focus on defining, forecasting, and in some cases, guessing at the future of the building industry to gain insight into what the NBIMS-US itself will need to be to support that future.
