Provides a list of properties and data types for electrical products to enhance BIM models with interoperable data for design, construction, operation and maintenance of electrical systems in buildings. This Standard covers:
Light Fixtures
Electrical Devices (Receptacles, Switches)
Electrical Appliances (Refrigerators, Ranges, etc.)
Electrical Equipment (Circuits, Panels and Transformers)
This Standard is not intended to cover geometry for creating 3-D BIM models, but rather define electrical product data requirements with optional levels of compliance to support electrical system design, construction, operation, and maintenance.
*Packaged with this Standard is an accompanying white paper, BIM Content for Electrical Products:
Current Status and Industry Needs, and a text file of code that users can import into Revit, a CAD software system.
