Xbim secured victory at Cobuilder’s recent hackathon after demonstrating how its platform could integrate with Cobuilder’s Define digital data dictionary to undertake a life-cycle assessment.
Six global construction software companies took part in the hackathon. The event took place online over two days. The objective was to connect to the template application programming interface (API) found in the Define data dictionary’s demonstration context.
All organisations taking part explored a use case focusing on environmental data and looked at how Define’s API could help them obtain the information required to make carbon footprint calculations. This API integrated with each company’s digital solution or system before the results were showcased.
The winning contribution needed to offer a practical and realistic solution to making the calculation, that was relevant to the market and would provide value to end-users. To achieve this, Xbim first validated a BIM model against properties from Define, ensuring a life-cycle assessment could be made.
