Editing AEC Open Data directory

On this page you can find resources for datasets, sample files, testing files and other types of [[AEC_Open_Data_Standards_Directory|Open Data]] useful for AEC projects & software development & testing.

On the [[AEC_Open_Data_Standards_Directory|AEC Open Data Standards Directory]] page are data resources publicly available which use these data formats.

We are collecting a selection of high quality BIM files in multiple format in the [https://gitlab.com/osarch/Example_Files OSArch Example Files Collection]. Feel free to suggest files in the [https://community.osarch.org/discussion/1189/sample-files-for-openbim-in-multiple-formats/ sample files for openbim in multiple formats] forum thread.

| DURAARK - Durable Architectural Knowledge worked on developing methods and tools for the Long-Term Preservation (LTP) of architectural knowledge, including approaches to enrich Building Information Models with “as built” information from scans; semantically enrich building models with additional data sets and preserve 3D models for future reuse. Files from the project can be found by searching the tib.eu website <nowiki>(https://www.tib.eu/en/search?tx_tibsearch_search[query]=duraark)</nowiki>.

Each of the buildings has meta data such as or area, weather, and primary use type. This data set can be used to benchmark various statistical learning algorithms and other data science techniques. It can also be used simply as a teaching or learning tool to practice dealing with measured performance data from large numbers of non-residential buildings."
