In addition to the AHU BIM object release, Daikin Applied chiller object drawings are also available across all chillers ranges upon request. All Daikin Applied AHU BIM objects are available on the National BIM Library website www.nationalbimlibrary.com. They will also be available for download on the company’s website which is shortly to be revamped and relaunched.
Daikin Applied UK has been working towards developing Building Information Modelling (BIM) for its bespoke air handling units and has announced the availability of the AHU BIM objects on the National BIM library.
Available for consultants and contractors to access and download, these generic designs can be manipulated to suit all projects.
Building schematics are an essential part of the building process, from initial concept through to project handover; design changes are inevitable from the architects design reviews to further changes as the building services become more defined over time. With this in mind quick access to BIM objects is beneficial to assist with on-going revisions.
The National BIM Library is the fastest growing library in the UK, allowing access to a comprehensive collection of BIM objects, ranging from building fabric systems to mechanical and electrical objects.
Daikin Applied has launched five AHU designs including: AHU - Modular with Thermal Wheel; AHU Professional – Double Deck Unit; AHU Professional – Side-by-Side Unit; AHU Professional – Single Deck and AHU Professional – Hospital Specification Unit.
These five product types incorporating 18 BIM objects form the basis of design with both fixed and parametric BIM models. The AHU modular unit has fourteen fixed sizes that are all available in the library along with the four professional AHU models which are parametric objects, and can easily be manipulated to exact dimensions of the unit to be supplied. With these base models, virtually all application requirements can be met for the BIM object to be incorporated into the building design model. This allows potentially complex, bespoke manufactured units to be scaled down and dropped into drawings with ease and speed.
