MEPcontent joined the leading European digital fair: the ISH Digital Fair in Frankfurt. The ISH Digital 2021, the world's leading trade fair for water, heating and air conditioning, took place virtually for the first time this year from March 22nd to 26th. MEPcontent was there as part of Trimble MEP, with its interlocking solutions for construction planning, home and building technology digitally and offered a rich program to the over 5.000 fair visitors.

The trade fair program at the digital Trimble booth was extensive, informative and varied.

As part of product presentations, online lectures, webinars and training courses, visitors were able to comfortably, time and cost-saving, stress-free and Corona-safe on the office PC, home office laptop or mobile on the tablet about software innovations and the latest developments Notify Trimble.

Online format

The ISH 2021, which was completely relocated to the digital world due to the pandemic, was certainly not comparable with the face-to-face fairs of previous years and was a poor reflection of a "leading world trade fair". Both the virtual visitors and Trimble employees missed the personal contact, the informal conversations and the atmosphere. The online format was definitely a useful addition, also for future face-to-face fairs.

Educational webinars

The content-related and technical quality of the webinars and the abundance of practically applicable information conveyed were impressive. This means that the webinars are also suitable for training and introducing the new functions beyond the trade fair. To make this added value available to the entire Trimble community, the webinars were recorded and can be found at https://mep.trimble.com/de/resources/ish-digital-2021can also be streamed online after the trade fair. An attractive offer that you should take advantage of because of the high efficiency.

Constructible content

The fair was the perfect opportunity to explore new digital technologies that can support building product manufacturers in their BIM journey. During the webinar for building product manufacturers How to get started with constructible content our Customer Success Manager, Kim Smit, our Business Development Manager, Charles Lekx and our Content Operations Manager of Trimble nova, Waldemar Unruh, covered a number of interesting topics: the principle of Constructible Content, industry trends related to BIM standards and content, the latest developments of Trimble’s content platforms and the importance of Construction Analytics.

Stream

Parallel to the webinars, the ISH stream provided the latest news and facts about Trimble innovations and virtual trade fair activities.

As demand for lightweight and high-performing lighting products continues to grow, ABB introduces its new MirEvo TwinSpot. Download it now on MEPcontent.com!

With its unique ultra slimline LED design and high lumen output, the MirEvo TwinSpot is ideal for use in large spaces and high ceiling installations in commercial or industrial applications.

A huge project behind the scenes: MEPcontent rebranded. End 2020 our company Stabiplan officially became Trimble Europe following the acquisition early 2018. We’ve converted all of the available files on MEPcontent.com from Stabiplan to Trimble: a total of almost 45.000 files with over 600.000 articles in total, with almost 40.000 GB of total size!

23400+ IFC files converted, size 17.8 GB
19300+ RFA Files converted, size 20.2 GB
1990+ Type Catalogs (txt files) converted, size 127 MB
37+ RVT templates converted, size 854 MB

Extensive Range of BIM Files
Due to MEPcontent's collaboration with more than 400 international manufacturers, we are able to provide a wide variety of BIM content for MEP engineers. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can always request new BIM files.

Quick Access to BIM Files
View large numbers of BIM files together by searching by product category or manufacturer. Or, if you already know what you're looking for, search by keyword. With the MEPcontent Browser you can easily find and download content in a few mouse clicks or place it directly in your model.

Complete Article Information
The available formats contain all information needed for a correct representation and calculation in both a generic and specific model -- including a symbolic, a dimensionally stable and a 3D representation, and manufacturer product codes.

Reliable, High-Quality BIM Files
Before BIM components are placed on MEPcontent, they go through an extensive testing process to ensure the parameters, level of detail, structure and dimensions are correct. The Extended MEPcontent Standard (EMCS) has been prepared by Trimble to provide MEP engineers and contractors all around the world with a clear understanding of the need for high quality and uniform content, i.e. graphical article information like it is offered on this content platform in close cooperation with leading Building Product Manufacturers. The document also represents MEPcontent’s vision for the future. Preparing the best content for MEP projects still has a long way to go, especially because the leading BIM platform Revit is still evolving and market adoption is spreading. We want to share our knowledge on MEP and content for MEP because we know that MEP is a dedicated business that deserves its own standard, and that this should be done on a global level, reflecting the current state of our industry in which boundaries between countries fade away. Leading to a more universal approach of high quality BIM content.

New on MEPcontent! The Hisense low-height ceiling ducted type AVE-05-24HJFDL and
AVE-05-24HCFRL are available now in RFA, DWG and IFC format.

Space saving
Save ceiling spaces for higher room height with the concealed low height ducted unit: as slim as 192 mm, and the width can below until 770 mm, which fits to the narrowest ceiling spaces.

Flexible air supply and return
Air from indoor units can be discharged directly with louvers or by duct connections. Whereas ducted or ceiling return air from rear or bottom of the indoor unit is also possible, when ceiling areas are very limited.

3D-airflow
The 3D airflow panel is an accessory for ceiling ducted units, with LED temperature and humidity display. With the horizontal louver and vertical louver, the panel can offer wide air flow coverage to keep every corner of the room cool or warm in any season of the year.

New improved bendable filters
Standard filters that come with the low height ducted units are now improved to be bendable by improving the material’s malleability to improve installation flexibility in narrow ceiling height and restricted spaces.

Other features include smart & precise temperature control, adjustable static pressure and various device connection options.

More Hisense content
We’ve just uploaded more Hisense files, including the new wall mounted indoor unit AVS-05-28HJFDJD and 5 new branch controllers. You can find and download them all here.
