3 MODELS

3.1 Model Workflow

One of the principle aims of BIM-MEPAUS is to enable efficient BIM workflows that see the design model

progressively refined through the design, virtual build and construction process to ultimately deliver a completed

Commissioned As-Built Model.

A key step in this process is the virtual build during which the change-out of the generic design components with

Manufacturer’s Certified Models (MCMs) occurs. These MCMs are able to support a range of construction and

commissioning workflows as well as the asset’s life cycle management post-handover.

The completed construction model generated through the virtual build is then used to drive a range of activities

including site layout, procurement and installation scheduling and tracking.

Once the installation is completed and the systems commissioned, as-built data and project completion information

are used to finalise the Commissioned-As Built Model for handover to the client.

3.2 Generic Design Content

BIM-MEPAUS generic design families provide a catalogue of sizes (types) that allow designers to spatially model to

LOD 300 as well as specify the fan’s performance and quality requirements.

The generic design model shared parameters have been developed through industry consultation and are

considered those necessary to schedule the quality and performance requirements for tendering and procurement

purposes.

Design firms with content libraries can pre-populate these switchboard design families with their specific quality

specifications in order to minimise repetitive data entry on each use in a project. This approach limits subsequent

scheduling to only those instance based performance parameters that are typically scheduled in specification

equipment schedules.

3.3 Manufacturer Certified Content

The virtual build develops the design model into the LOD 400 construction model and typically involves changing

out the design content with manufacturer certified content. Where the manufacturer’s model is BIM-MEPAUS

compliant this should be readily achieved.

Manufacturer’s models are preferably generated from the BIM-MEPAUS Industry Foundation Models (IFM) and

are a single type family that has the fan geometry needed for the virtual build plus the manufacturer data for the

specific fan to be supplied to the project.

BIM-MEPAUS certified manufacturer models are fully interchangeable with the generic design models and provide:

• Accurate geometry

• Performance data

• Full BIM-MEPAUS Revit operability.

Where the data is not able to be provided by the manufacturer in Revit shared parameter format, manufacturer data

should be delivered in Excel format using the BIM-MEPAUS Product Data Templates to allow the data to be efficiently

imported by the specialist trade contractor into their scheduling database or Revit virtual build model.

Microsoft Excel based product data templates are provided for this purpose on the BIM-MEPAUS website under the

specification product templates section. Where required additional fields can be drawn from the shared parameter

schedules in this specification to provide additional product data as required.

As the MCM and supporting shared parameter schedule replaces the certified drawings and technical schedules

that have traditionally been provided by manufacturers, the model accuracy should be no less than that provided

by a manufacturer’s certified drawing.



BIM-MEPAUS Page 4

July 2017

Manufacturer’s certified models should preferably include a link to a pdf or web page providing pre-commissioning

checklists for modellers and shop drawers to facilitate the proper incorporation of the component into the model as

well as providing the pre-commissioning check sheet for the project site team.

3.4 Commissioned As-Built Model

The commissioned as-built model comprises the construction model updated to reflect any changes made during

the field installation.



BIM-MEPAUS Page 5

July 2017

4 SHARED PARAMETER SCHEDULING

The shared parameter schema has been developed to effectively support data requirements for design,

procurement and commissioning as well as life cycle asset management. All BIM-MEPAUS plant and equipment

models have the same schedule structure shown below.

• Identity

• BIM Classification

• System Analysis

• Green Building Properties

• Performance / Quality

• Manufacturer

• Commissioning

• Completion

System Analysis, Green Building Properties and Commissioning schedules are only included where applicable or

where they have been defined by a relevant standard.

The schedules are progressively completed as the MEP services model progresses through design and virtual

construction to a fully completed Commissioned As-built component within the final model.

Schedule Section Generic Design / MCM Model schedule Schedule completion by

Identity Generic design model Designer / Manufacturer / Installer

BIM Classification Generic design model Designer

System Analysis Generic design model Designer

Green Building Properties Generic design model / MCM model Designer / Installer / Manufacturer

Performance /Quality Generic design model / MCM model Designer / Installer

Manufacturer MCM model Manufacturer

Commissioning MCM model Installer

Completion Schedule MCM model Installer

The identity and completion schedules must be completed for all components and once the values are defined are

fixed for the life of the component.

It is expected that not all data will be carried in the Revit design or virtual construction model with non-core data

likely to be managed off model using scheduling databases and/or spreadsheets. This non-core data is commonly

required for the finalization of procurement, commissioning and facility management purposes.

Manufacturer BIM data must be supplied in a format that can be imported into a data management system and/or

Revit based Virtual Construction model with suitable formats including:

• MCM model incorporating BIM-MEPAUS Product Data Template shared parameters

• MCM geometry model with supporting BIM-MEPAUS Product Data Template Excel file.

To allow efficient and reliable data exchanges, it is critical that the BIM-MEPAUS shared parameter names and

respective GUIDs be used.

Parameters indicated in bold font are core Revit model data expected to reside in the model whilst those in italics

are non-core data that can be managed either in the Revit MEP model or off model in a scheduling database.

Parameters notated with the symbol have an industry defined set of allowable values or descriptions that are

listed in the master BIM-MEPAUS shared parameter schedule.

It is noted that BIM-MEPAUS compliant manufacturer’s certified models can be used for the basis of design where deemed appropriate by the designer and/or where specific manufacturer plant and equipment is to be nominated.

5 SWITCHBOARD SPECIFICATION

The following guidance has been developed through the industry consultation process as particular areas requiring

focus during the completion of the switchboard quality/performance schedules.

5.1 Types of Switchboards and Enclosures

Main Switchboard (MSB)

The Main Switchboard is the location of the electrical installation main switch/isolator and electrical installation

Multiple Earth Neutral (MEN) link. The MSB will also contain a distribution section for power distribution typically to

sub distribution boards.

Distribution Switchboards (DB)

Distribution Boards are downstream of a MSB and provide power distribution to other downstream distribution

boards and/or final circuits typically of a common system.

Service Switchboards

These can include switchboards for specialty equipment such as mechanical motors, lift services or lighting control.

Electrical Enclosures

These can include electrical enclosures and cabinets for electrical equipment such as Tee Off boxes.

5.2 Switchboard Classifications

Ingress Protection (IP) Rating

All switchboards are to be given a formal rating for ingress protection as defined in international standard AS 60529.

This rating describes how resistant to penetration for water, dust and impact (IK rating) the switchboard is.

Areas for consideration when specifying a switchboard IP rating include the following:

• Exposure to natural elements (sun, rain, etc)

• Exposure to introduced elements (plantrooms, hazardous areas, etc)

Segregation Form Factor

All switchboards are specified with a form factor of segregation between the internal panels making up the

switchboard as per Australian Standard AS 61439. Internal segregation is important within a switchboard to protect

an operator from contact with live parts and reducing the probability of an arc fault.

Segregation can be achieved by two methods:

• Providing physical barriers or partitions between units

• Providing housing, insulation or shrouds to individual functional units or busbars

Segregation form factor varies from Form 1 to Form 4, each form factor increasing the level of segregation with

Form 1 having no internal separation.

Cable Entry/Exit

Depending on the installation location and environment, switchboards can be specified to have varying locations

for cable entry and exit. Typically cable entry/exits are either top or bottom, with rear openings specified when

required.

The location of cable entry/exit effects the physical dimensions of the switchboard, building penetrations, cable trays

and the arrangement of the internal switchgear. Clearances around cable entry/exits must also be considered in

the design stage to allow for cable reticulation and bend radius.

5.3 Access Clearance Zones

All switchboards are required by AS3000 to be arranged so that they provide a clearance zone for operators.

Sufficient switchboard access is considered to be an unimpeded space of at least 0.6m around switchboards with

switchgear doors in any position and large circuit-breakers racked out.



BIM-MEPAUS Page 7

July 2017

The maintenance clearance zone is therefore determined in part by the door/panel type that may be either hinged,

panel or escutcheon type.

Main Switchboards may also require rear access depending on their design.

5.4 Smoke Seals

Smoke seals typically consist of a neoprene gasket around the inside trim of the switchboard providing a smoke

seal when the doors are closed.

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) requires any switchboard installed in any corridor, hallway, lobby or the like

leading to a required exit to be enclosed by non-combustible construction with openings suitably sealed against

smoke spreading from the enclosure.

5.5 Switchboard Sizing

There are many factors that ultimately determine the overall switchboard size including form of connection, number

and size of circuits and internal bus/bar and wiring configuration.

Main switchboard general sizing guidelines are provided for preliminary spatial planning only:

• Incoming Supply 760mm

• Up to 10 outgoing circuits <250 AMP per 950mm section

• Air Circuit Breakers maximum of 2 per 760mm section.

5.6 Switchboard Panel Scheduling

The REVIT functionality of Switchboard Panel Scheduling is a key tool for retrieving design information from the

model. This section lists the parameters required for default panel schedules.

Switchboard Parameters

• Panel Name

• Location

• System served, zone served

• Power source (mains, generator, UPS, CoGen, PV, etc)

• Supply voltage rating, supply current rating, supply phase

• Fault rating

Circuit Parameters

• Circuit reference

• Circuit description

• Protection device description

• Protection device rating

6.7 Family Geometry

Family geometry is controlled by instance based parameters with the intention that the modeller should not need to

modify the geometry of generic design models or Manufacturer’s Certified Models.

It is noted that the Family Dimension Parameters are used to schedule those parameters that define the type (size

or capacity), with all detailed geometry dimensions listed separately under the Geometry Grouping.

Critical dimensions in relation to the model geometry are:

• Switchboard height, width and depth

• Panel opening size and type (Door size and locations)

• Maintenance Clearance.

• Fixing method (Wall mounted, wall recessed, free standing)

6.8 Clearance and Access Zones

The required clearance zones are described in Section 5 and are controlled by type based parameters.

These requirements can be turned on or off for the purpose of clash coordination exercises.
