Frequently asked

Glossary

1

BIM (Building Information Modelling)

A digital process for creating and managing information about a building across design, construction and operation. At building-technology shows, BIM is discussed alongside clash detection, cost estimating and handover data for contractors and facility teams.

2

BMS (Building Management System)

A central control platform that monitors and operates HVAC, lighting, energy, security and other building services. BMS vendors at IBEXPO Uzbekistan typically show controllers, sensors, dashboards and integration with meters and alarms.

3

HVAC

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The category covers chillers, air-handling units, VRF systems, ducts, fans, filters and controls used in commercial, public and residential buildings.

4

VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow)

A multi-split air-conditioning system that varies refrigerant flow to indoor units. VRF is popular in hotels, offices and mixed-use buildings where individual room control and part-load efficiency matter.

5

AHU (Air Handling Unit)

A factory-made or custom-built unit that conditions and moves air through ducts. AHUs combine fans, coils, filters, dampers and controls, and are a core item for HVAC contractors and mechanical consultants.

6

KNX

An open standard for home and building control covering lighting, blinds, HVAC, metering and scenes. KNX-certified products allow devices from different manufacturers to work on one bus network.

7

MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing)

The engineering systems bundled into a building project: mechanical services such as HVAC and plumbing, electrical distribution and lighting, plus controls. MEP coordination is a major theme for contractors visiting building fairs.

8

LV switchgear

Low-voltage distribution equipment such as main panels, distribution boards, circuit breakers, busbars and protection devices. It is the interface between utility supply, generators and building circuits.

9

Smart metering

Metering that records electricity, gas or water use and can transmit data for billing, monitoring or efficiency analysis. Smart meters support tariff management and building performance reporting.

10

Building envelope

The external shell of a building, including walls, facades, glazing, roofing, insulation and waterproofing. Envelope products determine thermal performance, weather tightness and architectural appearance.

11

District heating

A network that distributes heat from a central plant or combined heat and power source to multiple buildings. In Tashkent and other Central Asian cities, district heating interfaces are relevant to HVAC and utility suppliers.

12

Fire alarm system

A system of detectors, call points, control panels and sounders that warns occupants of fire. Building projects usually integrate fire alarm with smoke control, emergency lighting and access control.

13

Potable water

Water treated to a standard suitable for drinking, cooking and personal use. Building services suppliers cover pipes, pumps, valves, filtration, storage and metering for potable-water systems.

14

Seismic design

Engineering measures that help structures and building services resist earthquake forces. Tashkent is in a seismically active region, so fixing, bracing and flexible connections for MEP equipment are practical concerns for specifiers.

15

LED luminaire

A complete lighting fitting that uses light-emitting diodes as the source. LED products at building fairs include architectural, office, industrial, street and emergency luminaires, often with DALI or sensor controls.
