Introduction LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Learn how models can be setup to work with and export COBie data
2. See methods to automatically calculate LEED credits and then have those calculations dynamically update your LEED documentation
3. Discover ways to automatically check all your models for compliance with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers BIM project (utilizing Attachment F)
4. See how you can get free utilities for Revit to help you with all of these BIM deliverable requirements

COBie WHAT IS COBIE?
© 2015 CADD Microsystems, Inc. FEBRUARY 23, 2015 // 6
• A standardized format for taking data from BIM models to O&M applications
• Construction Operations Building Information Exchange
WHAT ARE THE ISSUES?
• COBie becoming the norm for data exchange at construction completion
• COBie format is strict and not specific to any one BIM application
• COBie users are usually not Revit users

Effortless
Parameter Mapping
Dynamic Zone
Management
Facilitate the export of
COBie data without
leaving the Autodesk Revit
application.
Maintain full control over
every piece of data
exported from Revit to a
COBie spreadsheet.
COBie fields are pre-
mapped to the correct
Revit Type and Instance
parameters.
Innovative Zone Manager
dynamically manages
separate Revit Rooms and
Spaces as COBie Zones.

Setup
Establish project contacts, and use
a setup wizard to configure the
default parameters for mapping
Revit model data to the
COBie data structure.
Modify
Manage the relationship between
Revit Rooms and Spaces and
COBie Zones, specify which
families, types, and elements are
exported, and perform batch
operations on the current model.
Export
Configure the COBie export by
specifying the worksheets to
include, creation method, template,
and export location.

LEED Overview
• LEED Certification Workflow
– Choose your credits – those you want
to achieve
– Choose your options – many credits
have multiple
– Generate and submit your
documentation for points:
• Key Aspects of LEED with Revit
– Revit can calculate (wholly or partially)
most of the credits
– Very time consuming to set up the
calculations and documentation
– LEED Project Leads are not usually
Revit savvy
– Automatically calculated data is not
connected to manually tracked data

LEED Extension BETA FEATURES AND BENEFITS
© 2015 CADD Microsystems, Inc. FEBRUARY 23, 2015 // 15
• Ability to choose your rating system
• Will setup your project with all the content you need to calculate and document each credit
• Semi-automates most of the credits, automates some
• Development ongoing
LEED Extension BETA Overview • The version you are about to see is still in
development
• We are looking for BETA testers that can provide feedback
• Currently works for…
– LEED v4, Revit 2014, and Revit 2015
– Fully developed for 6 of the 9 sections, the other 3 contain limited content
– Some of that missing content is addressed with the Revit Credit Manager for LEED (RCML) utility or the Lighting Analysis Add-in for Revit

Demonstration
Access to Quality Transit
LEED v4, Location and Transportation
Locate the project within a certain walking distance of
bus, streetcar, rideshare, rail, or ferry
stops/stations/terminals
Add up all the weekday and weekend trips from these
locations
LEED points based on the number of total trips
