Abstract

Research on the exchange of information during the design of photovoltaic systems based on Building Information Modeling (BIM) has mainly relied on the transfer of models to dedicated photovoltaic simulation software, and few have used Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC) to de-sign and exchange information for large photovoltaic plants. To address this issue, this study aims to establish a foundation step for the design and operation of solar PV plant harnesses that helps information exchange between different stakeholders, various tools, and construction phases according to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards and IFC. This paper uses Information Delivery Manual (IDM) and Model View Definition (MVD) methods to develop MVD models and to verify the possibility of exchanging information on solar PV harnesses. In this way, the possibility of exchanging information using BIM tools for solar PV harness data was realized, providing a new direction for sustainable research in BIM-based buildings.
