Abstract
A parametric design method for a fan coil unit based on BIM (Building Information Modeling) includes steps of: determining a basic sample; parametrically modeling; setting pipe connection locations and connection sizes of a two-pipe fan coil and a four-pipe fan coil; setting component visibility; completing control settings of left-right one-click selection for the fan coil; arranging an air pipe behind an air outlet of the fan coil; producing air duct flexible connectors; producing diffusers; adding parameter controls of a “yes or no” type to a return air box, a lower return air flange, and a back to return air flange; completing production of pipes and connectors, and naming. In a heating and ventilation BIM design of building engineering, with the above method, efficiencies of designing, modeling and plotting are obviously increased.
