Deliverable D3.7 - Final revised BIM-based abacus of solutions

This report aims to introduce the updated version of the abacus with the BIM objects of the main components used in the e-SAFE system: e-CLT, e-PANEL, and e-TANK. In detail, this document describes the enhancements and refinements made to the families already described in Deliverable D3.4 “BIM-based abacus of solutions” following their application in the detailed design of the pilot building.The initial BIM-based approach was adopted to facilitate collaborative design and ensure consistency across multiple European building projects using the e-SAFE system. The parametric nature of the Revit families (*.rfa format) allows for flexible adaptation to specific building contexts. This updated report focuses on the key improvements made to the families after real-world application, addressing challenges encountered during the detailed design phase of the pilot projects.This report also outlines the incorporation of new shared parameters for managing crucial properties such as weight and cost, enabling more comprehensive project analysis and informed decisionmaking. These additions enhance the utility of BIM objects for quantity take-offs, cost estimation, and lifecycle assessments.The experience gained from the pilot projects has directly informed a "family editing phase," resulting in a refined and validated set of BIM objects. This iterative process ensures that the e- SAFE BIM library is practical and readily applicable for wider use. The goal of Task 3.4 remains to provide designers with a comprehensive and standardized abacus of e-SAFE solutions, organized within a semantic repository.

Abstract

This report aims to introduce the updated version of the abacus with the BIM objects of the main components used in the e-SAFE system: e-CLT, e-PANEL, and e-TANK. In detail, this document describes the enhancements and refinements made to the families already described in Deliverable D3.4 “BIM-based abacus of solutions” following their application in the detailed design of the pilot building.The initial BIM-based approach was adopted to facilitate collaborative design and ensure consistency across multiple European building projects using the e-SAFE system. The parametric nature of the Revit families (*.rfa format) allows for flexible adaptation to specific building contexts. This updated report focuses on the key improvements made to the families after real-world application, addressing challenges encountered during the detailed design phase of the pilot projects.This report also outlines the incorporation of new shared parameters for managing crucial properties such as weight and cost, enabling more comprehensive project analysis and informed decisionmaking. These additions enhance the utility of BIM objects for quantity take-offs, cost estimation, and lifecycle assessments.The experience gained from the pilot projects has directly informed a "family editing phase," resulting in a refined and validated set of BIM objects. This iterative process ensures that the e- SAFE BIM library is practical and readily applicable for wider use.
