This document aims to identify appropriate additional information requirements of BIM models for reference by the industry (both public and private sectors), and in support of Government’s initiative of developing Common Spatial Data Infrastructure (CSDI) and Smart City and to satisfy the use cases identified in the Report on 3D Spatial and BIM Data Use Case Requirements of the Hong Kong Construction Industry published by the CIC in 2021.

The CIC works closely with the BEAM Society Limited (BSL) for the excellence of the industry and sustainability development of Hong Kong. An agreement of the research “iBEAM Unison – Data Unification Platform to Enhance the Integrity of Environmental and Sustainability Data in Design and Construction Processes” under the CIC Research and Technology Development Fund was signed between the BSL and the CIC in July 2022 to co-create a digital platform that enables linkage of data between BIM, BEAM Plus Assessment, CIC Carbon Assessment Tool and Sustainable Finance Certification Scheme. The iBEAM Unison platform has been launched on 14 December 2022.
