A REVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING IN ELECTRICAL DESIGN

摘要

This paper presents the fundamental concepts of the BIM methodology for engineering coordination as a response to the process of innovation and digitalization that the current energy world is demanding. Initially, the templates for the primary and secondary engineering requirements are defined for the implementation of code or automated subroutines. Later, the equipment and components databases are generated with their manuals and guide documents, which can be a switch as an element of an electrical substation or an electrical board of a house, which allow executing the basic and detailed engineering to finally obtain calculation memories, single line diagrams with their corresponding standards. In this way, each added and improved feature within the software has great advantages such as time reduction and remote access to the project since changes are generated at a general level of the structure involving minimal changes and at the same time identifying possible errors or necessary adjustments.
