Efficient Planning of Building Automation and Electrotechnical Systems

Public buildings, office complexes, airports, shopping centres: Planning the systems for monitoring, security, control, regulation and optimisation is an important part of operating a building in an efficient and resource-saving way. Take advantage of EPLAN Platform solutions so you can reap the benefits of efficient interdisciplinary engineering processes.

Processes

From Initial Design to Digital Twin

The engineering process in building automation usually starts with the basic design of a building’s technical automation. Next, the required devices and automation technology are defined in the I&C diagram. The data collected here will then be used over the course of the project for calculations and as a guideline for the electrical engineering design. Digital data continuity is the decisive factor for integrated processes – and EPLAN offers you a solid foundation for these processes.

Digitalised Processes – from Engineering to Construction and Operation

Current trends in building automation such as energy management, environmental protection, shorter construction processes and faster technological development require greater efficiency. This applies to planning and construction as much as it does to building operation. To put this into practice, processes, systems and components must be standardised. EPLAN offers you the consistent data continuity required for this.

Advantages

Interdisciplinary Engineering According to Established Standards and Guidelines

EPLAN is your global partner with many years of experience in the area of engineering automation. Our solutions are open to interdisciplinary connections to standard interfaces as well as for integration into your IT system landscapes. This also naturally complies with all established standards such as DIN EN ISO 16484-3 and guidelines including VDI 3814 for building technology.

Intelligent Planning for Logical I&C Diagrams

EPLAN Preplanning has importing functions that facilitate data transfers from upstream planning phases. Intelligent macro projects and templates automate the creation of logical I&C diagrams that support downstream engineering processes. The automation creation of data point lists, materials lists and bills of materials make price determinations and cost calculations much easier. EPLAN users are automatically supported by the system, from structure to signal identification.

Building Design with the Digital Twin

The data added along the entire engineering process is available through to production via the intelligent platform technology, considerably simplifying change management. You can also implement the digital twins of control cabinets and distributors in the 3D model for further building planning.
