Management Point（MEP）
This site offers guidelines for creating data that all stakeholders can clearly understand.
For our newly released ‘MEP design’ field SBS, we developed rules that conform to industry standards,
considering standardization trends in organizations such as Revit User Group (RUG-jp), BIM Library
Technology Research Association (BLCJ) and building SMART Japan (bSJ), in addition to our company’s
BIM policies. In our modeling approach, we create architectural and MEP models as separate files (.rvt),
with MEP model linked to the architectural model in real time through Revit. We combine electrical,
HVAC, and plumbing/firefighting systems into a single file. This unified approach facilitates smooth
information exchange between disciplines while enhancing overall consistency.
1st – Category
Correct category assignment improves model quality.
All collaborators
should understand the characteristics and input rules for each category to
ensure consistent
modeling
across the project.
- MEP major system categories
- MEP major component categories
2nd – LoD
Clarifying input accuracy at each project phase enables reliable
information
exchange.
All parties involved should collaborate to establish, coordinate, and manage target model
accuracy
levels throughout the phases.

Standards for Creating Readable Models
These standards fall into four categories: ‘BIM Model Operation Management,’ ‘Naming Conventions,’
‘Families,’ and ‘Project Settings.’
BIM Model Operation Management
To consistently use BIM model information, we must standardize data types and qualities.
The
modeling
guide summarizes essential conditions during modeling to help apply SBS in
practical
operations.
Use it as a reference when reviewing input methods, improving
communication,
and providing clear
modeling instructions.

Naming Convention
Naming convention organizes BIM models where information accumulates and facilitates information
sharing
among all parties involved. These conventions offer several key benefits for information
management:
- streamline communication about modeling decisions and methodology
- improve the efficiency of attribute-based filtering (view filters/scheduling filters)
- prevent the creation of duplicate type attributes
- enhance type selection during data input
Family
The Family contains numerous properties that require configuration. We maintain these to
achieve
parameter standardization, simplify creation of variations, minimize human errors, and
ensure
efficient
data management.

Project Settings
Our documentation covers essential project settings. Template files contain predefined views
for
model visualization, component families, fill patterns, line types, and other configuration
settings.
