New Nefit products on MEPcontent

As of now, new Nefit products are available on the MEPcontent platform. By combining heat pumps and high efficiency boilers, a complete heating system can be designed in BIM projects.

High efficiency boiler and heat pumps
Nefit was the first manufacturer to globally introduce the high efficiency boilers, and is therefore setting the trend since for sustainable heating solutions. The Nefit 9000i high efficiency boiler is new on MEPcontent and combines intelligent technology, iconic design and innovative applications with high quality material. The heat pumps of the EnviLine product range are also added. These heat pumps retract energy from the outdoor air, and so there is no need for a ground source. Even with temperatures of -20°C and +37°C EnviLine ensures a pleasant indoor climate.

The RFA, DWG and IFC files can be downloaded as of now and applied into every BIM project. The content meets the Extended MEPcontent Standard (EMCS) completely.

Spelsberg IBT LED universal mounting enclosures

Available for download from MEPcontent: IBT LED universal mounting enclosures for precast concrete panels.

During construction clients often need to make a lot of decisions upfront. Take for instance spots in the ceiling! LED lighting is here to stay nowadays. That is why Spelsberg extended her assortment of universal mounting enclosures for precast concrete panels with three new types, especially suited for LED fixtures. The IBT LED 1, 2 and 3. The casings are also suitable for loudspeakers and other build-in components.

But where do they have to be integrated and how many items are needed? Fortunately, the MEP engineer or light advisor can help you with this.

How does it work?
These IBT LED universal mounting enclosures can be used to deposit concrete at the factory or on the projectsite. This innovation helps you to install faster and more flexible.

New: Revit families for Grundfos TPE Pump

Update your BIM library with the new BIM files for the Grundfos TPE2 and TPE3 in-line pumps. Revit families for multiple articles within these series are available on the MEPcontent platform.

About the TPE pump
Grundfos TPE vertical in-line volute pumps are used in a variety of applications. The pumps are all single-stage, in-line centrifugal volute pumps with standard motors and mechanical shaft seals. The pumps are of the close-coupled type, i.e. pump and motor are separate units. Consequently, the pumps are less sensitive to impurities in the pumped liquid than similar pumps of the canned rotor type. TPE motors have a built-in frequency converter, allowing different control methods to be employed. TPE pumps offer benefits with respect to energy savings and increased comfort.

Flexibel placement of generic and SANHA wall plates

Recently, all available wall plates on MEP content have been equipped with a new functionality. The wall plates have a parameter that regulates the position within the wall. A much heard user wish was to enable this in two directions. It is now possible to place the wall plate not only within the wall, but also with an offset from the wall, with the same parameter. This can be done by using negative values in the parameter.

Wall plates can now be fully adapted to the requirements of your pipeline system. Download generic or SANHA wall plates Revit families and 3D dwg’s from MEPcontent, or directly within a BIM project using the MEPcontent browser for Revit or Autocad.
