The “Use case 2.06 – Collision check & mechanical integration of medium voltage distribution systems in a building” Activity Proposal is now out for review by the Standards Committee. The vote closes on 14th March 2024.

The bSI Electrical Domain is dedicated to refining the IFC standard to enable it to better benefit the electrical trade, as its initial focus primarily served the architectural and structural sectors.
To identify necessary information, we base our evaluations on a use-case approach that covers the entire process lifecycle. Consequently, the Electrical Domain is designing these use cases to ensure the collection of only those data that bear practical significance.

Our main goal is to utilize as much as possible of the full potential that IFC already offers. Only in rare cases do we consider proposing an update of the missing IFC entities and properties for the electrical trade.

A secondary objective is to construct respective Information Delivery Specifications (IDSs) that embody these defined use cases. They will serve as standardized templates for generating and evaluating IFC files, thereby enhancing the practical utility of these use cases.
Our overarching aim is to increase efficiency and facilitate a smooth, seamless collaborative process among the various roles engaged in the electrical trade.

This activity proposal outlines the use case 2.06 – Collision check and mechanical integration of medium voltage distribution systems in a building model, performed by the electrical planner in phase 5.
