Smoke-detector planning to DIN 14676 — automatically from the IFC model

PlanWerke detects rooms from PDF plan, DWG/DXF or IFC geometry, calculates coverage areas and places smoke alarms to the parameters of DIN 14676 — including support for fire-alarm planning in the sense of DIN 14675. Results in minutes, export-ready as CSV.

01

Two standards, one tool

DIN 14676

Smoke alarms placed to DIN parameters

Room geometry, coverage area per detector and wall and ceiling clearances are evaluated automatically. Every room gets the optimal detector count — even with angled floor plans and large areas.

DIN 14675

Fire-alarm planning, clean from the start

For fire-alarm systems PlanWerke supports the engineering in the sense of DIN 14675: monitoring scope, detector positions and bills of materials from the model — a solid basis for the specialist company, tendering and acceptance.

What the auto-planning takes care of

  • Automatic room detection from IFC 2x3 & IFC4
  • Coverage areas & detector spacing to standard parameters
  • Wall & corner clearances checked, floor by floor
  • Optimal detector count per room, manually adjustable
  • Visual review right in the 3D model
  • Bill of materials as CSV · comments as BCF

Questions about smoke-detector planning

Does PlanWerke replace the fire-safety engineer?

No. PlanWerke is a tool for engineers: it automates placement and standards checking — planning responsibility and sign-off remain with the engineer. Every result can be reviewed and adjusted in the model.

How does PlanWerke determine the detector count per room?

From the IFC geometry: room area, shape and coverage area per detector are evaluated to DIN 14676. Every room gets at least one detector; large or angled rooms are subdivided.

What is exported for tendering?

A bill of materials of all detectors per room and floor as CSV, plus BCF comments on the model — for handover to the team, installers or clients.
