BIM objects
We provide BIM objects to everyone in the construction industry. The objects are free of charge at bimobjects.com.
Achieve better economy and a smoother process with BIM objects (Building Information Modelling) that let you run simulations of the building's life cycle energy, forecast volumes and detect construction errors.
What is a BIM object?
BIM (Building Information Modelling) objects are 3D building models for digitizing the building process.
A BIM object is a combination of detailed physical and technical characteristics of a product. Visual data lets you see how the product appears in a 3D model and behavioural data shows how the product performs. The object behaves in exactly the same way as the product itself.
BIM allows architects, engineers, real estate developers, contractors, manufacturers, and other construction professionals to plan, design, and construct a structure or building within one 3D model.
By using BIM, you reduce the number of unhandled issues on site while increasing efficiency and improving communication between the players who are part of your project.
Solar and BIM
We create BIM objects and link them with all types of technical, and analytical data. This includes all types of technical data that engineers need to perform sustainability analyses of a building containing our products.
After that, we send it directly to our customers, or we upload it to a common BIM database (bimobject.com) where engineers and building specialists can filter these objects by their technical or geometrical properties and download them to their projects directly.
How does BIM improve sustainability?
In order to do proper sustainability analyses, engineers and other players in the industry need us to provide data-rich BIM objects, detailing geometry and technical data.
When we provide the market with BIM objects of products with a high performance and as little impact on the environment as possible, engineers are more prone to choosing those products. If a heat pump or ventilation system comes with a BIM object, it often becomes more attractive to engineers.
With BIM objects, you also have easy access to sustainability certificates and product documentation such as EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations).
Lighting and requirement objects
Solar BIM consists of both lighting and requirement objects.
The lighting objects represent the physical products found in our Solar Light concept, and contain data sets for the individual lighting equipment.
Requirement objects address the part of the building process, where requirements for the materials are defined to ensure correct functionality in the building in the form of e.g. indoor climate. Requirement objects bridge the gap between the generic object used at the beginning of the project in the design phase and the choice of the final product for the execution.
Requirement objects ensure a design with product neutral objects that can be converted directly to a bill of materials based on the specified requirements for the product.
Collaboration with ABB to share knowledge about BIM
Through their strong product knowledge, associated BIM objects and BIM support tools, ABB is a manufacturer with a strong focus on BIM integration. Therefore, we work closely together with ABB to support the workflow related to converting the requirements defined in the detailed design phase into actual product-specific BIM objects.
We are in contact with consultants and contractors and closely follow the standardizations within BIM. So, if you have a project where BIM is a key element, you are welcome to contact us to discuss the possibilities within BIM from ABB and Solar.
