Richard Kelly, Operations Director, buildingSMART International, said, “Rooms are forums that provide industry leadership and set the plans to respond to what their domain requires. They coordinate, manage and shape the work we see as outputs from the Standards and Solutions Program. This is vital for the ongoing improvements we need in the built environment to tackle global challenges and to deliver a more sustainable future. We look to Steering Committees to help shape the work we deliver, and I am delighted with the excellent response we received from the community and I look forward to  working closely with those who have been elected.”
