This IFC2x3 electrical discipline BIM model provides a comprehensive coordination sample for a duplex apartment layout. This file represents a structured electrical discipline model for a residential duplex, formatted in the IFC2x3 openBIM standard. It serves as a technical sample for coordination workflows, capturing the spatial and data-driven requirements for apartment electrical systems. The model includes standard MEP components and routing pathways typical of residential electrical installations, structured to adhere to industry-standard building information modelling practices. As a coordination dataset, it allows practitioners to examine the integration of electrical services within a multi-level residential structure, providing a baseline for testing interoperability between different software platforms during the design and construction phases.

The download is a 1.5 MB file containing .IFC files.

Professionals can import this file into any IFC-compliant BIM authoring tool or viewer to verify data integrity and system coordination. It is primarily used for testing cross-platform compatibility and evaluating how electrical services are structured within the openBIM framework. Users should ensure their software is configured to map IFC entities correctly to native MEP categories to maintain the integrity of the electrical systems and associated metadata during the import process.

The model is intended for BIM managers, MEP engineers, and architectural technicians working on residential projects. It is particularly useful during the coordination phase of a project to understand how electrical services interact with structural and architectural elements in a duplex layout. Professionals often use such datasets for developing BIM execution plans, training staff on openBIM workflows, or testing software interoperability. It is a valuable resource for those learning to manage complex electrical data sets in a multi-disciplinary design environment.
