BIM, CAD, and 3D bathroom planning data
For the purposes of design according to the BIM method, this area contains 3D geometry data for radiators, the x-net panel heating system, home stations, the x-well ventilation system, x-change heat pumps, and x-buffer heat storage tanks.
3D bathroom planning data based on the ARGE data model is available for 3D planning of bathroom scenarios.
BIM portal
The Kermi BIM portal provides you with BIM-compatible data in over 30 CAD formats (such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Allplan, Archicad, and Trimble), including the relevant product attributes, for download.
Important note: In order to download CAD models, you must first log in as a specialist partner.
Technical data sets according to VDI 3805
Convenient downloads for your planning software
Outstanding quality starts with efficient planning. As a matter of course, we are committed to providing you with everything you need for your work with Kermi indoor climate solutions.
For this reason, on this page we have compiled technical data sets – compliant with VDI 3805 – for our radiators, heating fittings, panel heating systems, heat pumps, and heat storage tanks, and made them available to download easily.
VDI 3805 sheets for Kermi product groups
Radiators
VDI 3805/6 data set (radiators) for importing into planning software via the import interface according to data guideline VDI 3805 Sheet 6 for radiators (Edition 2022-04)
VDI 3805 is actively supported by the following software manufacturers (BDH cooperation partners): KERN, DATA DESIGN SYSTEMS, ENVISYS, HOTTGENROTH, LINEAR, ROWA SOFT, SOFTWARE SPECIAL SERVICES, TACOS, VALENTIN, VELA SOLARIS, PLANCAL, BIALLY, WILLMS VDI 3805 software partners to BDH
VDI 3805/ISO 16757
The VDI 3805 guideline was developed within VDI work groups and aims to provide a standardised data format for product data exchange in computer-supported plumbing, heating, and air conditioning planning processes. Based on the basic guideline VDI 3805 Sheet 1 (Fundamentals), there are special data sheets available for the different groups of products (such as Sheet 6 for radiators, Sheet 23 for residential ventilation units, and Sheet 22 for heat pumps). Further information
VDI 3805 is currently being transposed into ISO 16757. ISO 16757 is a global directive for exchanging TGA product data using the BIM method.
Heating fittings
VDI 3805/2 heating fittings data set for importing into planning software via the import interface according to data guideline VDI 3805 Sheet 2 for heating fittings (guideline edition 2016-01). The valve settings on the radiator valve can be determined by using the heating fittings data set and calculating the hydraulic balancing. Fittings content: V3K, V4K, V5K, service valve, valve shut-off block.
New: V7K-L valve insert with dynamic flow control
Note
VDI 3805 data set Sheet 2 (guideline edition 2016-01) replaces the previous editions 2003-02 and 1998-10 (ha.tga). Updating the data according to the guidelines until now was stopped in 2007.
Controlled residential ventilation
x-well
Heat pump
VDI 3805/22 data set for heat pumps, for importing into design or energy advice software for heat generators and storage systems via the VDI 3805 Sheet 22 import interface.
Heat storage
VDI 3805/20 data set for storage, for importing into design or energy advice software for heat generators and storage systems via the VDI 3805 Sheet 20 import interface.
Overview
QualityBIM platform and 3D bathroom & product data
QualityBIM - Product design/configuration
On the BIM platform Qualitybim.com, various product groups (radiators, panel heating systems, heat pump systems, controlled domestic ventilation systems - KWL, etc.) can be dimensioned, designed or configured on the basis of various OpenBIM formats (VDI 3805, IFC).
In addition to the technical product data, 2D/3D BIM models are also available in over 30 CAD formats (e.g. Revit, dwg, dxf, archicad, allplan etc.) including alphanumeric product data, which can be optimally integrated into your BIM process.
QualityBIM offers a direct connection to your TGA/CAD software via standardized processes (web services, standard formats).
