Why the EMCS standard is essential for IVAR
MEPcontent and IVAR have strengthened their BIM partnership joining forces during the first of the four FutureBuild conferences organized by Italian publishing company Maggioli Editore. The conference addressed the themes of reusing, rebuilding and recycling urban spaces and objects, requiring a different design approach to build the city of tomorrow.
IVAR recently published BIM models on the MEPcontent platform. There are five aspects in the creation of BIM models that the Italian manufacturer considers fundamental: an accurate graphic representation, the reduced file dimensions, use commodity, a differentiation in levels of detail and the quality of the data and of the information. Talking about this last aspect Francesca Gualeni, BIM Specialist at IVAR, emphasizes the importance of the Extended MEPcontent Standard (EMCS).
She explains: “With the EMCS standard the information in the BIM models is accurate, uniform and compliant to the current international standards”. To comply to the Extended MEPcontent Standard IVAR has followed specific rules for the graphical definition of the models, the management of the material lists and the use of shared parameters.
“With EMCS compliant models we can guarantee our customers a complete graphic representation of the Revit family: we can make sure that the families are consistent, behave correctly in a Revit project – also in relation to components of other manufacturers - and contain the relevant information. MEP engineers easily get the links to the necessary technical documentation and take advantage of the reduced file dimensions, avoiding unneccessary delays in the project”.
All professionals involved in the project benefit from the information in the models and the quality of the content. MEP engineers can easily find the IVAR products browsing through the MEPcontent website.
Another conference took place on April 11th in Turin. Our next conferences will be in Bergamo (28th June) and Rome (15th November). Check the Italian website for more information: www.tour.ediltecnico.it/format/futurebuild-conference
