Streamlining Electrical Planning in Commercial Buildings with ABB AbilityTM Building Planner
This digital tool not only simplifies the planning process but also ensures that every project aligns with the latest sustainability regulations and standards, offering a streamlined, efficient approach to integrating ABB’s diverse product ranges. Moreover, it allows users to configure a multitude of devices through a singular, user-friendly interface.

The ABB Building Planner is not just a tool; it’s a gateway to the future, where BIM (Building Information Modelling) files in IFC format can be uploaded directly, eliminating the archaic need for manual floor plan drawings. It’s a collaborative workspace where building planners can invite colleagues to join forces on a project, utilizing existing room templates to expedite the design process.
Advanced Configuration Interface
The Building Planner is honed to reduce repetitive work and enhance the productivity of electrical building planners. It offers a single interface for configuring a vast array of devices, encompassing everything from KNX-based heating, ventilation, and valve actuators to motion sensors and data sockets. The inclusion of weather stations, DALI gateways, and blind and roller shutter actuators further cements its position as a comprehensive planning tool.
Enhanced Efficiency
What sets the Building Planner apart is its focus on efficiency and reusability. The creation of templates is not a one-off affair; these templates become a lasting resource, ready to be employed in subsequent projects. The completion of the planning phase is marked by the delivery of a detailed bill of materials (BOM), along with essential information such as the required number of module widths in the distributor.
Adding to its suite of features, the Electrical Planner allows users to download their project and upload the file into the ETS software, encompassing the building structure, topology, products, and group addresses. This integration not only streamlines the workflow but also promises a staggering time saving of up to 80% in commissioning, marking a significant leap in operational efficiency.
Compliance with Standards and Regulations
Furthermore, Building Planner comes pre-programmed with the requirements of pivotal standards and regulations, streamlining the planning process, and ensuring compliance without the hassle of cross-referencing construction plans with legal mandates.
When it comes to hospitality, the ABB AbilityTM Building Planner shines with its specialized features designed for hotel spaces, where the balance between aesthetics and functionality is vital. The tool transcends conventional planning, integrating advanced technologies and expanded electrical solutions to elevate hospitality projects to new heights.
The Right Choice for Electrical Planning
In conclusion, ABB Ability™ Building Planner revolutionizes the electrical planning process for commercial buildings. With its seamless integration with BIM files, comprehensive device configuration options, and focus on efficiency and compliance, it is the go-to tool for modern electrical installers. Whether you're designing a commercial complex or a boutique hotel, Building Planner streamlines the process, ensuring optimal performance and compliance every step of the way.
