gbXML 1.2.189

GbXML is a file format used for the exchange of digital information related to building models within the construction industry. It stands for "Green Building XML" and is created and maintained by a non-profit organization called gbXML.

The purpose of gbXML is to provide an open standard for the transfer of building models between various computer-aided design (CAD) software applications. The format includes information about the building's geometry, physical properties, lighting, HVAC systems, and more.

GbXML is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language), which makes it easy to read and interpret by both humans and machines. This allows architects, engineers, and other professionals in the building industry to share and collaborate on building models more efficiently.

• GbXML is widely supported by most CAD software applications.
• The file size of gbXML files is relatively small compared to other file formats.
• GbXML provides detailed information about the building's attributes and properties, making it easier to analyze and optimize energy usage.
• The use of gbXML helps avoid errors caused by manual data input during the design process.

GbXML is a valuable tool for architects and engineers who need to collaborate on building models, as it streamlines the transfer of important data between different applications. By using this format, professionals can work more efficiently, waste less time correcting errors caused by manual data input, and create more sustainable buildings in the process.
