Pipe (schematic)

MEP-SCH-PIPE

Schematic pipe for early coordination - medium in Reference.

Description

Simplified segment or volume for main routes (heating, cooling, water, wastewater, etc.).
Used for feasibility and clash checking, not for execution planning.

Modelling guidelines

Model as a volume or simplified segment; cross-section according to the sketch concept.
Set the medium in Reference (e.g. HZ, KZ, TW, AW, FL).
Do not model fittings, control valves, or connection details.

Attributes

Name	Description	Unit
Reference Pset_PipeSegmentTypeCommon	Medium of the schematic pipe. Allowed values `HZ` - heating `VL-H` - heating flow (supply) `RL-H` - heating return `KZ` - cooling `VL-K` - cooling flow (supply) `RL-K` - cooling return `TW` - drinking water `FW` - fresh water `AW` - wastewater (sanitary) `WW` - wastewater (alternate code) `ENT` - drainage (building) `FL` - downpipe (rainwater)
GrossCrossSectionArea Qto_PipeSegmentBaseQuantities	Cross-sectional area of the modelled schematic pipe.	m²
Status Pset_PipeSegmentTypeCommon	Element status for coordination on existing buildings. Allowed values `NEW` - new `EXISTING` - existing `DEMOLISH` - to demolish `TEMPORARY` - temporary
ElementStatus ePset_ElementStatus	Element status for coordination on existing buildings. Allowed values `NEW` - new `EXISTING` - existing `DEMOLISH` - to demolish `TEMPORARY` - temporary Note IFC2x3 substitute for Status.
CostInterface ePset_Cost	Cost interface of the component - base building or tenant fit-out. Allowed values `GAB` - base building (client / landlord) `MAB_{Mietername}` - tenant fit-out, e.g. `MAB_Migros`
AwardInterface ePset_Cost	Award package of the component by three-digit BKP code - so interfaces between contractor packages become visible. Allowed values See value list BKP award package - e.g. `211`, `221`, `244`.
PlanningInterface ePset_Cost	Planning interface of the component by three-digit BKP code - so responsibilities between planning disciplines become visible. Allowed values See value list BKP planning package - e.g. `091`, `092`, `094`.
BelowTerrain ePset_Cost	Marks whether the component is below terrain. Allowed values `TRUE` - below terrain `FALSE` - above terrain
EbkpH ePset_Cost	eBKP-H classification according to SN 506 511 - derivable from element type, medium, and BelowTerrain. Allowed values `D05.04` - heat distribution `D06.04` - cold distribution `D08.04` - water distribution `D09.01` - wastewater disposal `D10.04` - gas distribution
