Goal:

Use of a building model in IFC format to calculate the building’s heat load and design the installations.

Agenda:

  1. Loading the IFC file and analyzing its structure and content using the “Project browser”, “Search”, “Data table” windows and additional tools.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Interpretation of structural walls from the IFC building model.
  5. Interpretation of structural slabs from the IFC building model.
  6. Interpretation of the roof from the IFC building model.
  7. Interpretation of windows and doors from the IFC building model.
  8. Generation of a complete building structure with rooms.
  9. Examples of corrections required to obtain a correct and complete thermal model.
  10. Determining the thermal load of the building.
  11. Example elementary installation design.
  12. Exporting the project to an IFC file – controlling the exported scope and other export settings.
  13. Q&A.
