scope:

This Standard 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. The following electrical products are covered by this Standard:

a. Light fixtures

b. Electrical devices (receptacles, switches)

c. Electrical appliances (refrigerators, ranges, etc.)

d. Electrical equipment (circuits, panels and transformers)

This Standard is not intended to cover geometry for creating 3-D BIM models, but rather it defines electrical product data requirements with optional levels of compliance to support electrical system design, construction, operation, and maintenance. This Standard groups the data parameters in the following eight generic categories to support electrical system design functions and data interoperability as needed for the above products:

a. Dimension

b. Electrical circuit

c. Electric lighting

d. Electrical loads

e. Electrical design

f. Energy analysis

g. General

h. Identity
