buildingSMART International Awards 2023 is Now Open

London, U.K. - March 15, 2023 - London, - buildingSMART International (bSI) is delighted to announce that the annual openBIM® Awards Program is open. Registration opens on March 15, 2023.

Since its launch, the buildingSMART Awards Program has continued to grow, with many submissions received worldwide. It was also the first time in three years that the Awards program was held at an International Standards Summit in Montreal. A report of the winners for 2022 can be found here.

There are some new additions to the program, including more definition around Sustainability Excellence, which includes the demonstration of circular economy, low carbon strategies, energy management, renewables, sustainable materials, and other green practices. There is also a new ROI and Business Value survey that aims to showcase some of the direct benefits and impact of standards and services in the projects.

Aidan Mercer, Marking Director, buildingSMART International, said, “the Awards Program has become such a feature of our activities at bSI, and we always look forward to learning more about some of the projects submitted. It is a place where we see best practice, technical excellence, and applied use of standards and services against our benchmarking. The program always evolves, and 2023 will also no doubt be an exciting year for awards which will culminate in the finalists presenting at the International Standards Summit in Lillestrøm, 18-21 September 2023”.
