The first BIM files for Vaillant, a leading manufacturer of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, have been published on MEPcontent.com. Revit families and IFC files for different heating appliances can now be downloaded by German users from the BIM platform.

“The importance of high-quality design in the technical installation sector is increasing, and will be even more important in the future” says Juliane Krüger, Head of Planning Support at Vaillant Group. “Technical Installation design is getting more complex, more and more parties are involved in the design process. We want to be sure our products are visible for all stakeholders”.

Vaillant asked MEPcontent to create and publish content for multiple product groups, starting with boiler systems. Krüger: “Ultimately the goal of BIM content for Vaillant is to make the lives of our customers easier. Nowadays, our customers require content in order to design high-quality heating systems. We want to meet their needs as good as possible, that is why we decided to create BIM content for our products”.

The German manufacturer is active in more than 20 different countries and has a wide product range. Managing data is one of Vaillant’s big challenges. “Data for our products is different everywhere. We want to be sure our customers are provided with the correct local data, also for our BIM content” says Juliane Krüger. “We were looking for a supplier that could do that. MEPcontent offered us a solution for managing local BIM content on an international scale, which was exactly what we needed”.

The first Revit families and IFC files have been published on MEPcontent now, serving specifically the German market. In the coming months, more content will be published for different European countries. All of the content is compliant to the EMCS (Extended MEPcontent Standard), “Customers all over Europe rely on correct product data. Quality of the content therefore is very important to us. With the EMCS, the quality of our BIM content is guaranteed” says Juliane Krüger.

BIM files for the ecoVIT exclusiv, ecoTEC plus, ectoTEC exclusiv, ecoCRAFT exclusiv, ecoCOMPACT and auroCOMPACT can be downloaded directly from MEPcontent.com.
