IfcPump
What is IfcPump?
IfcPump represents a mechanical device that moves fluid through a piping system by adding pressure energy. Pumps are used in domestic water booster systems, hydronic heating/cooling loops, fire protection systems, and sewage ejection.

IfcPipeSegment
IfcPipeSegment represents a straight or curved section of piping that carries water, gas, steam, or other fluids. Pipe segments are used in plumbing, hydronic heating/cooling, fire protection, gas supply, and industrial process systems.
MEP ElementIfcValve
IfcValve represents a device that controls the flow of fluid in a piping system. Valves include isolation valves, check valves, pressure reducing valves, balancing valves, and relief valves. They are essential for system control, maintenance, and safety.
MEP ElementIfcBoiler
IfcBoiler represents a heating device that produces hot water or steam by burning fuel or using electrical resistance. Boilers are central to hydronic heating systems and may also provide domestic hot water for the building.
MEP ElementIfcChiller
IfcChiller represents a cooling device that removes heat from a liquid (typically water or glycol solution) through a refrigeration cycle. Chillers are central to air-conditioning systems and can be air-cooled or water-cooled.
