BIM-HEAT
BIM-based design software for district heating and cooling networks
An AutoCAD-based solution developed by EnergyMentor to streamline district heating network design, automate repetitive engineering tasks and generate BIM-based project outputs.
WHAT BIM-HEAT DOES
BIM-Heat connects key district heating design tasks within one AutoCAD-based workflow.
NETWORK MODELLING
Create structured district heating and cooling network models with pipe, node and component data.
SITE & INSTALLATION PLANS
Generate site plans and installation diagrams directly from the network model.
3D & BIM MODELS
Create 3D pipeline models and prepare BIM-based project deliverables.
BOM & IFC EXPORT
Generate material quantities and export project data to IFC.
SEE BIM-HEAT IN ACTION
This 7-minute demonstration shows a typical BIM-Heat workflow inside AutoCAD — from network modelling to engineering outputs.
FROM NETWORK GEOMETRY TO BIM OUTPUTS
A structured workflow for district heating network design.
CREATE NETWORK GEOMETRY
Draw or import the pipeline route.
DEFINE PIPE & NODE DATA
Assign pipe standards, diameters and network components.
CHECK THE MODEL
Validate network geometry and object data.
GENERATE DRAWINGS & 3D
Create site plans, installation diagrams and 3D models.
EXPORT PROJECT DATA
Prepare quantities, BOM and IFC deliverables.
WHY BIM-HEAT
BIM-Heat helps engineers move from network geometry to coordinated project outputs within a structured AutoCAD-based workflow.
- LESS REPETITIVE WORKAutomate recurring design and documentation tasks.
- CONSISTENT PROJECT DATAKeep network geometry, component data and project outputs connected.
- FROM 2D TO BIMDevelop drawings, 3D models, material quantities and IFC outputs from the same network model.
