Goal:
Use of a building model in IFC format to calculate the building’s heat load and design the installations.
Agenda:
- Loading the IFC file and analyzing its structure and content using the “Project browser”, “Search”, “Data table” windows and additional tools.
- Possible ways of using the IFC model depending on the design case:
- the use of the IFC building model without a complete interpretation of the structural partitions,
- use of the IFC building model without a complete interpretation of the structural partitions with manual input of rooms or (available from publication 23.0) import of IFCspace objects,
- using the IFC building model to automatically generate a complete building structure with its structural partitions.
- Creating the appropriate number of storeys from the IFC model:
- characteristics and application of the “Create stories from IFC” method,
- characteristics and application of the “Create stories between selected slabs/ roofs from an IFC file” method.
- Interpretation of structural walls from the IFC building model.
- Interpretation of structural slabs from the IFC building model.
- Interpretation of the roof from the IFC building model.
- Interpretation of windows and doors from the IFC building model.
- Generation of a complete building structure with rooms.
- Examples of corrections required to obtain a correct and complete thermal model.
- Determining the thermal load of the building.
- Example elementary installation design.
- Exporting the project to an IFC file – controlling the exported scope and other export settings.
- Q&A.
