PNP XPS BIM Library — Index of Objects, Formats and Versions

PNP XPS (PNP Orange Kft.) provides a BIM library covering the full range of extruded polystyrene insulation boards manufactured at its Várpalota plant, last updated 2025-02-24. The library supports design workflows for architects and engineers specifying XPS products across Central and Eastern Europe. Specific file formats, object counts, software versions and parameter sets are not itemised in the current data; consult the documentation page or contact sales@pnpinsulation.com for the current package.

What the PNP XPS BIM Library Is

PNP Orange Kft. publishes a BIM library under the brand name PNP XPS to support architects, structural engineers and contractors who model buildings in BIM-authoring environments. The library is listed in the company's general documentation catalogue as "PNP BIM Libraries", with a recorded update date of 2025-02-24. That entry is the only version record available in the current data; earlier release history is not documented in the source material and is therefore not stated here.

The purpose of BIM objects in an insulation context is to allow designers to place dimensionally accurate, property-rich representations of XPS boards into a building model, linking thermal, mechanical and geometric data directly to the drawn element. This supports U-value calculations, material scheduling, clash detection and documentation for building permits or energy certification — though which of these workflows the PNP library specifically enables is a question a qualified BIM manager should verify against the actual object files before use.

Products the Library Is Intended to Cover

The PNP XPS product range manufactured at Várpalota and supplied across Central and Eastern Europe comprises the following boards, all conforming to EN 13164:2012+A1:2015. A BIM library logically covers this range; whether every SKU listed below has a corresponding object in the current package should be confirmed against the downloaded files or via the documentation page.

Standard board dimensions across the range are 1250 × 600 mm (nominal face), with thickness ranges from 20 mm up to 150 mm in standard format and beyond in TB (thick-board) variants where offered. Tapered SLOPE boards have geometry defined by fall angle and panel layout; their BIM representation requires parametric geometry — confirm availability with PNP before commencing modelling.

What the Evidence Shows — and Does Not Show

The data available to this article is limited to a single catalogue entry: "PNP BIM Libraries", dated 2025-02-24. This establishes that PNP Orange Kft. maintains and publishes BIM objects as a formal deliverable. It does not, in itself, prove:

  • Which file formats are included (e.g. IFC, Revit RFA, ArchiCAD GSM, generic objects).

  • Which BIM software versions or IFC schemas are targeted.

  • Which product parameters (λD, RD, compressive strength class, fire class, dimensions, DoP reference) are embedded as object properties.

  • How many individual objects are in the package.

  • Whether SLOPE (tapered) and TB (thick-board) variants have dedicated objects or are handled by parameters.

This alone does not prove that the library is interoperable with every BIM platform used in the markets PNP serves (HU, RO, DE, CZ, SK, PL, and others). A BIM manager or project architect should download the current package from the documentation page and test object import before specifying the library for a project.

How BIM Objects Relate to the Mandatory Technical Documents

Every PNP XPS board is CE-marked under EN 13164:2012+A1:2015 and backed by a DoP (Declaration of Performance) issued under CPR 305/2011. BIM objects are design aids; they do not replace the DoP, TDS or EPD for compliance purposes. The hierarchy is:

  1. DoP — the legally binding declared performance (CE marking). The current DoP for each product is listed on the individual product page and available via the documentation page.

  2. TDS (technical data sheet) — full geometry, packaging, tolerances and application guidance.

  3. EPD — environmental product declaration for the Várpalota plant (EN 15804), updated 2025-03-19, for use in LCA and green building rating schemes.

  4. BIM object — geometric and property representation for use in a building model. Values embedded in the object should always be cross-checked against the current TDS before submission to a building authority or energy certifier.

Where a real engineering decision is involved — insulation thickness for a required RD, compressive load check, dew-point analysis, fire strategy or drainage fall on a SLOPE roof — the TDS, DoP and a qualified designer must be consulted. The BIM object supports the modelling workflow but does not constitute a structural or hygrothermal calculation.

Accessing the BIM Library

The BIM library is available through the PNP XPS documentation area. To obtain the current package:

  • Visit pnpinsulation.com/documentation/ and locate the PNP BIM Libraries entry (recorded update: 2025-02-24).

  • For format-specific or project-specific requests — for example, a particular IFC schema or a parameter set aligned to a national BIM standard — contact PNP directly at the contact page or by email at sales@pnpinsulation.com.

Related documentation available at the same location includes individual DoPs for all products, TDS files (several updated July 2026), and the EPD for the Várpalota plant.

Conclusion

PNP Orange Kft. provides a named BIM library for its XPS insulation board range, last recorded as updated on 2025-02-24. The product range it is intended to represent is fully documented — fourteen board types, all conforming to EN 13164:2012+A1:2015, with declared λD values of 0.034–0.035 W/(m·K) and compressive strength classes from 150 kPa to 700 kPa. The evidence supports the existence of the library as a formal PNP deliverable. It does not, from the available data, prove which formats, software versions or embedded parameter sets are included. Design teams should download the current package, verify interoperability with their BIM environment, and cross-check all declared values against the current TDS and DoP before use in permit or energy-compliance submissions.

Frequently asked questions

What file formats does the PNP XPS BIM library include?

The available data records the library as a published deliverable (updated 2025-02-24) but does not list specific file formats such as IFC, RFA or GSM. Contact sales@pnpinsulation.com or visit the documentation page at pnpinsulation.com/documentation/ to confirm which formats are available for your BIM platform.

Are SLOPE (tapered) boards included in the BIM library?

XPS 150 SLOPE and XPS 300 SLOPE are part of the PNP product range, and the BIM library is intended to cover the full range. Whether parametric tapered objects for SLOPE boards are included should be confirmed by downloading the current package or contacting PNP directly at sales@pnpinsulation.com.

Can I use a BIM object in place of the Declaration of Performance for CE-marking compliance?

No. BIM objects are design and coordination aids only. The DoP issued under CPR 305/2011 is the legally binding declared performance document for CE marking; it must be used alongside the current TDS for compliance, permitting and energy certification purposes.

Which thermal and mechanical properties should be embedded in a PNP XPS BIM object?

Key declared properties per EN 13164:2012+A1:2015 include λD (W/(m·K)), RD (m²·K/W), compressive strength class CS(10\Y) in kPa, fire class (Euroclass E or F depending on product), and WL(T) water absorption class. Values vary by product and thickness; always cross-check the embedded object data against the current TDS before use in a calculation or submission.

Where can I download the PNP XPS BIM library?

The library is available through the PNP XPS documentation area at pnpinsulation.com/documentation/. For project-specific or format-specific requests, contact sales@pnpinsulation.com.
