Siemens now Offers Building Information Modeling on Top HVAC Products for Greater Cost Control and Efficiency

Siemens Industry, Inc., announces the availability of Building Information Modeling (BIM) on the company’s most commonly used HVAC products, making its field components more easily available to architects and engineers during the design phase.

In collaboration with Avatech Solutions, Inc., a professional services company delivering design and engineering technologies, Siemens Building Technologies Division created an initial group of models from its existing product drawings. These files are now available for download on Autodesk® Seek, www.seek.autodesk.com, the online source for product specifications and design files, or on the Siemens Control Products and Systems website Building. 

Building Information Modeling makes construction documents, such as procurement details, environmental conditions, submittal processes and energy saving or other specifications, interoperable, so product information is easily accessible and design plans are easily amendable.

“Our customers are accustomed to products that install quickly and perform reliably, right out-of-the-box. Supplying models that fit seamlessly into building projects during the design and construction phase is our main focus. Establishing our library and presence on Autodesk Seek reaffirms our commitment of making our customers’ jobs easier — from design and construction through ongoing operation, maintenance and upgrades,” says Joe Studzinski, senior director of Product Development, Siemens Industry, Inc.

Plans call for expanding BIM to cover more of the thousands of building products Siemens manufactures and build on the success of the first group of models. “We will continue to develop more BIM on products to keep pace with increasing demand in the industry,” explains Studzinski.
