What is PD CEN/TS 17623 about?
PD CEN/TS 17623 identifies and clarifies lighting properties for digital building design and maintenance.
PD CEN/TS 17623 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 PD CEN/TS 17623 establish the essential description of luminaires and sensing devices in BIM systems and databases.
The listed properties in PD CEN/TS 17623 are used to structure the product data sheet which is complemented with real product information.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17623 for?
PD CEN/TS 17623 on BIM properties for lighting is useful for:
- Architects
- Civil engineers
- Construction industry or construction
- Operator
- Software company of BIM
- Installer of BIM
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17623?
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a concurrent process that gives engineering and construction professionals the tools to 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.
PD CEN/TS 17623 provides a BIM process which helps you plan, design, operate, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure to define the fundamental principles of BIM that will allow this to happen in an effective and consistent manner. BIM is useful for sharing digital representation of a built object (including buildings, bridges, roads, process plants, etc.) to facilitate design, construction and operation processes to form a reliable basis for decisions.
PD CEN/TS 17623 provides principal structure and their properties (eight properties) for luminaires and sensing devices which assist you to monitor and, where required, input is made to ensure that the requirements for lighting applications are considered.
