The large car park (about 5,000 square meters) is mostly covered by pergolas covered with photovoltaic panels.<\/p>\n<h3>ACCA&#8217;s mission is to &#8216;make BIM democratic&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/stakeholders\/acca-software-transforming-bim-to-openbim\/104494\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACCA software<\/a> strengthens its increasingly strong identity of a company dedicated to innovation. ACCA&#8217;s innovative approach is in fact the basis of its mission: to make BIM &#8220;democratic&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Guido Cianciulli, CEO of ACCA software S.p.A. commented:\u00a0&#8220;We want to make BIM more democratic with open collaboration spaces, tools that work with standard formats, simplicity of use and with accessible costs to everyone and from everywhere in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>How does OpenBIM aid ACCA Software&#8217;s mission?<\/h3>\n<p>To achieve this goal, an OpenBIM methodology is the necessary approach. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/ifc-openbim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OpenBIM<\/a> is based on the use of open standards that allow viewing and editing files with any software.<\/p>\n<p>With OpenBIM, all AEC professionals are free to use the software they prefer without any type of technological constraint, while still guaranteeing high standards of collaboration and coordination throughout the entire BIM process and building lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>ACCA Software commented: &#8220;We believe that BIM can&#8217;t exist without openBIM and transforming BIM into openBIM is our mission. We are working to substantially change the BIM process, to focus on the use of the information model and not on software as is currently the case.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>usBIM is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accasoftware.com\/en\/usbim-management-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ACCA software&#8217;s BIM management system<\/a> for managing BIM processes and 100% openBIM workflows with an integrated free BIM viewer capable of opening and managing a wide range of 3D file formats, including .IFC, .DWG, .RVT, .DXF, .EDF, .SKP without needing\u00a0 any specific software (e.g. Revit, Archicad, Allplan etc).<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an online multilingual platform and has a very interesting distribution model. It&#8217;s completely free when used with up to 10 Gb of storage space and comes with a free package of 12 specific tools to deal with the fundamental tasks of the BIM process. The openBIM approach, and the ability to work with information from different stakeholders, are a revolutionary feature of this solution.<\/p>\n<p><a
