Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 274, Light and Lighting.

Introduction

Building information modelling (BIM) is a concurrent process that gives engineering and construction professionals the tools to more efficiently plan, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure.

Within standardisation committees much work is being performed to define the fundamental principles of BIM that will allow this to happen in an effective and consistent manner.

For lighting applications, it is essential that this work is monitored and where required input is made to ensure that the requirements for lighting applications are considered.

1 Scope

This technical specification identifies and clarifies lighting properties for digital building design and maintenance.

This document provides all the needed properties to design and to describe lighting systems. These properties are intended to be used for mapping between data providers and requesters. The mapping of the identifiers enables the exchange of luminaire and sensing device data within different databases.

The unambiguous mapping and description of properties improves the data quality, reduces misinterpretations and the processing time in digital environments. Therefore, the properties listed in this document establish the essential description of lighting systems in BIM systems and databases.

The listed properties in this document are used to structure the product data sheet which is complemented with real product information.
