Chris Moor, director of industry initiatives for the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) has been selected as the new chair of the project committee tasked with developing Version 3 (V3) of the National BIM Standard for the United States (NBIMS-US).
A project of the National Institute of Building Sciences buildingSMART alliance (bSa), NBIMS-US is a consensus document that serves to standardize the way practitioners use BIM to more easily pass information from one phase of the building process to another. The NBIMS-US Project Committee oversees the standard’s development.
Moor has been a long-time advocate for open standards and improving interoperability. He has worked with 3D technology and BIM since 1994 and leads AISC’s efforts on technology integration and interoperability, which include exploring, implementing and promoting new technologies that support and enhance the entire structural steel supply chain.
A member of the NBIMS-US Project Committee and a director on the buildingSMART alliance Board of Direction, Moor was heavily involved in the development of NBIMS-US Version 2. He is also a member of the Design-Build Institute of America BIM Committee; co-chair of the American Iron and Steel Institute BIM Committee; secretary of AISC’s Technology Integration Committee; member of the Level of Development Special Interest Working Group (an Associated General Contractors of America/BIMForum/American Institute of Architects effort); and serves as the AISC lead for a Fiatech project addressing interoperability for steel within the process industry. He was previously the managing director of Tekla Corporation’s UK subsidiary.
