For decades, product catalogues in the HVAC sector were full of technical promises. In an industry where one wrong assumption can ripple into cost overruns, compliance failures, or rework, vetting promises is a necessity. Here’s the reality: • Without third-party validation, product data is only as strong as the marketing behind it. • Even well-meaning internal testing doesn’t meet the scrutiny of real-world specification. • Specifiers are increasingly making one demand: trust backed by proof. That’s where certified data—validated by a neutral body like Eurovent Certification—steps in. And with tools like ProdBIM and BIM&CO, that data doesn’t just exist, it flows where it’s needed most.

Think of it as turning passive information into a living asset—discoverable, usable, and always up to date. And while the LinkedIn headline tells you about +10 new brands and +3 new categories added recently, what it doesn’t capture is this: Every one of those entries represents a manufacturer who’s chosen transparency over convenience, and trust over marketing claims.   .

Data-Driven Construction Needs Certainty, Not Just Access One insight we’ve gained through this partnership is that accessibility alone is no longer enough. Specifiers, engineers, and project managers don’t just want to find data—they need to trust it. That’s why this ecosystem works: • Eurovent Certification ensures accuracy • ProdBIM structures and manages the data propagating according to market needs • BIM&CO delivers it to users with the highest accuracy and versatility The chain, raises the bar on what’s expected from product data in BIM. 

As a manufacturer:

✅ Your data is no longer questioned

✅ Your brand stands out early in the specification stage

✅ Your internal teams benefit from a unified, automated data process

The Real Innovation?

Turning Regulation into Strategy :

• Smart performance filtering. Specifiers want to sort products not just by category, but by certified metrics

• Real-time compliance. Manufacturers can track in-market data and align with local regulations dynamically

• Lifecycle-integrated data. Certified data won’t stop at design—it will inform maintenance, upgrades, and end-of-life decisions Whether you’re a seasoned HVAC brand or an emerging player, the question isn’t if you should certify and connect your data.
