Under the file menu in the OpenStudio application there is a "Load Library" menu option. This allows you to load an OSM model as a library (for non-hvac objects). By default we point it to a library of our DOE building type templates, but you can make and share your own directory of OSM files with custom constructions, schedules, loads, and space types. This is also a good way to grab resources out of earlier models.
We do have a number of people interested in adding standards components from other countries to BCL, but it will take us some time to better support and document that workflow. Ultimately that will be the best way to share, but for now the local load library can work.
