BIM Properties for lighting - Luminaires and sensing devices

This document identifies and clarifies lighting properties for digital building design and maintenance.
This document provides all the needed properties to design and to describe luminaires and sensing devices. These properties are intended to be used as mapping properties for property providers and requesters. The mapping of the identifiers enables the exchange of luminaire and sensing device data within different databases.
The unambiguous mapping and description of properties improve the data quality, reduce misinterpretations and the processing time in digital environments. Therefore, the properties listed in this document establish the essential description of luminaires and sensing devices in BIM systems and databases.
The listed properties in this document are used to structure the product data sheet which is complemented with real product information.

BIM Merkmale für die Beleuchtung - Leuchten und Sensoren

Dieses Dokument bestimmt Beleuchtungsmerkmale für die digitale Gebäudeplanung und -instandhaltung und legt diese genauer dar.
Dieses Dokument liefert alle erforderlichen Merkmale zur Planung und Beschreibung von Leuchten und Sensoren. Diese Merkmale sollen als Zuordnungsmerkmale für Merkmalbereitsteller und -anforderer dienen. Die Zuordnung der Identifikatoren ermöglicht den Austausch von Leuchten- und Sensordaten innerhalb unterschiedlicher Datenbanken.
Die eindeutige Zuordnung und Beschreibung von Merkmalen verbessert die Datenqualität, verringert Fehlinterpretationen und reduziert die Verarbeitungsdauer in digitalen Umgebungen. Daher legen die in diesem Dokument aufgeführten Merkmale die wesentliche Beschreibung von Leuchten und Sensoren in BIM-Systemen und -Datenbanken fest.
Die in diesem Dokument aufgeführten Merkmale werden zur Strukturierung des Produktdatenblatts verwendet, das mit echten Produktinformationen ergänzt wird.

BIM Propriétés pour l’éclairage - Luminaires et capteurs

Le présent document identifie et clarifie les propriétés de l’éclairage pour la conception et la
maintenance numériques des bâtiments.
Le présent document fournit toutes les propriétés nécessaires à la conception et à la description des
luminaires et des capteurs. Ces propriétés sont destinées à être utilisées comme propriétés de mise en
correspondance pour les fournisseurs et demandeurs de propriétés. La mise en correspondance des
identifiants permet l’échange de données concernant les luminaires et les capteurs entre différentes
bases de données.
La mise en correspondance et la description des propriétés, lorsqu’elles sont dépourvues d’ambiguïtés,
améliorent la qualité des données, réduisent les erreurs d’interprétation et raccourcissent le temps de
traitement dans les environnements numériques. Les propriétés énumérées dans le présent document
visent par conséquent à établir la description essentielle des luminaires et des capteurs dans les
systèmes et bases de données BIM.
Les propriétés énumérées dans le présent document servent à structurer la fiche technique du produit
en la complétant d’informations réelles sur les produits.

Introduction
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a concurrent process that gives engineering and construction
professionals the tools to more efficiently plan, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.
Within standardization committees much work is being performed to define the fundamental principles
of BIM that will allow this to happen in an effective and consistent manner.
For lighting applications, it is essential that this work is monitored and, where required, input is made
to ensure that the requirements for lighting applications are considered.
1 Scope
This document identifies and clarifies lighting properties for digital building design and maintenance.
This document provides all the needed properties to design and to describe luminaires and sensing
devices. These properties are intended to be used as mapping properties for property providers and
requesters. The mapping of the identifiers enables the exchange of luminaire and sensing device data
within different databases.
The unambiguous mapping and description of properties improve the data quality, reduce
misinterpretations and the processing time in digital environments. Therefore, the properties listed in
this document establish the essential description of luminaires and sensing devices in BIM systems and
databases.
The listed properties in this document are used to structure the product data sheet which is
complemented with real product information.

4 Principle structure
4.1 General
The properties for luminaires and sensing devices have been organized in eight tables listed in Clause 5
according to different disciplines. This sub-division is indicative only and not to be taken as exclusive.
— Mechanical properties – ID 01 (Table 1)
— Electrical properties – ID 02 (Table 2)
— Emergency lighting properties – ID 03 (Table 3)
— Photometric properties – ID 04 (Table 4)
— Sensing device properties – ID 05 (Table 5)
— Mounting and accessory properties – ID 06 (Table 6)
— Marketing properties – ID 07 (Table 7)
— Operations and maintenance properties – ID 08 (Table 8)
4.2 Detailed description of set of attributes
4.2.1 General
The structure of the attributes is according to EN ISO 23386 and enhanced by the property ID.
The properties have no mandatory or optional aspect. All properties are equal in importance and
hierarchy. The use case and the application provide structure and mandatory to the properties.
4.2.2 GUID
In EN ISO 23386 named “Globally unique identifier”.
Identifier given to a product that guarantees its uniqueness throughout its entire life (see
ISO 6707-2:2017, 3.2.46).
This attribute identifies the property unambiguously. A Globally Unique identifier GUID is generated
using an algorithm. This machine-readable code will allow matching across databases, lists and data
template.
In IFC and EN ISO 12006-3 the compressed version of GUID is used. It can be uncompressed to the
standard GUID with open tools.
4.2.3 ID
This attribute identifies the property unambiguously. It is human-readable and corresponds to the
globally unique identifier.
Note The ID always starts with the table number from 4.1 followed by a dash and an individual serial
number with four digits.
4.2.4 Name
In EN ISO 23386 named “Names in language en-EN”.
The name of the property.
4.2.5 Description
In EN ISO 23386 named “Descriptions in language en-EN”.
