LNEC, in collaboration with buildingSMART Portugal and CT 197 - BIM, is organising the seminar ‘Objects and openBIM in 2026: where are we?’, which will take place at the Laboratory’s premises on Tuesday, 5 May, between 9.00 am and 1.00 pm.

Topics to be covered:

- EN ISO 22014 – BIM object libraries;

- Product Data Templates (PDTs) and co-creation;

- Construction Products Regulation, Digital Passports and BIM;

- Navigating a BIM object and assessing its quality;

- Discussion with various industry experts, including reflections on a guide to best practice.
