ABB Ability™ Building Planner

top_banner_BuildingPlanner_small

 Building Planner is a digital planning tool that simplifies and modernizes the planning process for commercial buildings, it automatically ensures compliance with sustainability regulations and standards.  The digital top platform is specifically developed to deliver easiness and speed in the planning phase of the electrical and mechanical building projects with ABB products, with users being able to configure a variety of devices with one single tool. 

The tool allows planners to directly upload BIM (Building Information Modelling) files in IFC format, eliminating the need to draw floor plans. Once uploaded, existing room templates can be used. Building designers can also invite others to collaborate on the same project.

The templates created remain available to be reused in future projects. After the completion of the planning phase, a bill of materials (BOM) is delivered, while additional information could be extracted  (e.g.  the required number of module widths in the distributor.)

BUILDING PLANNER

Save Time Planning

The Building Planner was developed by ABB with a focus on efficiency and simplicity. This tool significantly reduces repetitive work for the Electrical building planners. 

The Building Planner provides a single interface for configuring a wide range of devices. These include KNX-based heating, ventilation, valve and split unit actuators, motion sensors, switching actuators logic modules, sockets, conventional switches, KNX sensors and displays. Furthermore, the Building Planner can be used to configure weather stations, DALI gateways, blind and roller shutter actuators as well as data sockets. Further KNX devices will be installed in the coming years.

The planning tool is also already pre-programmed with the requirements of the most important standards and regulations for the smart building sector. This eliminates the need to compare construction plans with legal requirements and improves the pace of work and efficiency.
