National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS)
Standards for CADs and building information modeling available from the NIBS.
-
The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), through its buildingSMART alliance, publishes standards for structure design. The alliance creates both the United States National CAD Standard® (NCS) and the National Building Information Model Standard™ (NBIMS).
The NCS streamlines and simplifies the exchange of building design and construction data from project development throughout the life of a facility
The NBIMS provides open source standards and guidance for all aspects of building information modeling, allowing users to communicate quickly and efficiently, nationally and internationally.
