Gafcon Digital CEO John Turner named to NIBS BIM Council Digital Twin Integration Subcommittee

Gafcon Digital CEO John Turner has been chosen to participate in the newly formed Digital Twin Integration Subcommittee of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). The committee is chaired by Scott McClure (US Air Force, North Wind Group), with additional leadership from vice-chairs Marc Goldman (ESRI), Zahra Ghorbani (Penn State University), and Francesca Maier (Fair Cape Consulting).

The Building Information Management (BIM) Council (formerly known as the buildingSMART alliance®) is a unique organization helping the North American real property industry become more efficient. The BIM Council leads in the creation of tools and standards that allow projects to be built digitally before they are built physically through the use of building information modeling.

The Digital Twin Integration Subcommittee was formed to respond to industry needs and in support of continued innovation throughout the industry. The mission of the NIBS BIM Council Digital Twin Integration (DTI) Subcommittee is to (a) define the role of and develop the relationship between Digital Twins and the NIBS National BIM Program and National BIM Standard – United States® (NBIMS-US™), and to (b) coordinate with authoritative organizations and consortia in BIM and Digital Twin integration efforts. The subcommittee will serve as a place to learn, influence, and lead to ensure the relationship of BIM to digital twins is fully understood and opportunities are brought forth for action.
