Complete this electronic spreadsheet to ensure that your Central battery supply units product information meets the requirements of Level 2 BIM. This is important as it will enable your customers to select, specify and use your products within the BIM environment. Once you have completed this template you can host it on your own website or distribute it to your customers. Please note that we do not host completed product data templates within the BIM Toolkit.
Requirement
Visual information to provide general principles of the design. Showing arrangement of system with their relationship to internal and external context, and key project criteria to suit a clients brief. General descriptions would be expected to communicate principles of materiality, scope, colour and context. Expect strategic coordination with other professions to show general principles of the design.
Purpose of information
To provide a visual representation of proposals at a Concept stage and support general spatial coordination.
The above illustrations are for Inverters from the NBS section Inverters and power devices. This is indicative of the LOD requirements for Central battery supply units.
