How is COBie2 updated for specific clients?

COBIE2 is a standardized format but it’s contents are configurable for regional and project practice. The only changes needed are values for columns in the PickList Worksheet. The green columns are client, national, or regional classifications and can be updated. The green coded COBie2 values are provided as default settings only. PickList Worksheet columns in non-green colors should NOT be changed because they will result in inconsistent use of COBie2 data by software vendors. For example, the values for ‘FloorType’ is always one of the three values ‘Site’, ‘Floor’, or ‘Roof’ and coordinates are taken from the 5 values that describe a point, line, or box.
