Theben provides BIM data for presence and motion detectors
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a holistic, digital process for creating and managing information for a building object. BIM is based on an intelligent model that is provided centrally and integrates structured, multidisciplinary data. This makes it possible to create a digital representation of a building over its entire life cycle - from planning and design through to construction and operation.
The BIM method is also becoming increasingly popular in electrical planning. Building automation components, such as presence detectors, can be integrated into the planning as BIM objects. This not only increases planning quality and cross-discipline collaboration, but also enables collision checks, mass and cost calculations and also serves as an information basis for facility management.
Configurable data for free download
And what does Theben have to do with BIM? We are now offering electrical planners comprehensive BIM data for many of our presence and motion detectors as a free download.
In addition to the display of detailed product data, movement types, mounting heights and LOG (Level of Geometry) can be individually set to obtain different 2D and 3D views. Dimensions can also be displayed based on a drawing or product image. The generated data can be downloaded as a CAD model and PDF data sheet. A PARTcommunity account is required for the download.
You can find the BIM data on the respective product pages of the Theben website under “Downloads”.
The BIM data is available for the respective products on the Theben website under “Downloads”.
