BIM

Chapter content: BIM integration (Building Information Modeling)

Eliona is IFC compatible and can easily process data and map it to the Smart Building Assistant. Information up to BIM 7D can be implemented and everything that is necessary for the operation of the building, such as maintenance/operating instructions, warranty data, etc. This enables building operators to perform BIM-based maintenance and repair management.

Building Information Model is a multidimensional model of a building. In Eliona, BIM data (IFC) can be uploaded and assets can be placed in it.

For example, tracker assets that are placed in the floor plan are also displayed in the BIM model. To do this, select the asset of the floor in the Referencing menu and drag the floor plan exactly onto the BIM model so that it matches exactly.
