Revit MEP Essentials for Design Engineers

Building services design engineers who wish to learn how to use Revit specifically for efficient design and analysis (not modelling and drafting) need something a little different from an essentials course. They need to know just enough of Revit's project setup and modelling tools to allow them to conduct the critical analysis and design for a building's services. That's why we developed this 2-day Revit MEP Essentials for Design Engineers. If you need to know how to successfully define spaces and zones within a project, so you can analyse building's performance . . . adding mechanical, piping and electrical systems to establish your design intent . . . then this course is for you.

Course content for Revit MEP Essentials for Design Engineers:

• Understand how BIM differs from CAD, and its benefits to the building services design engineer
• Use the interface for tips that assist you while you work
• Create sections and elevations with ease, visualise your model in 3D, review alternative designs 
• Import and link architecture projects
• Understand spaces - using Revit for engineering data calculations 
• Represent the area required by each piece of mechanical equipment, and then use for analysis
• Understand Revit's energy analytical model, work with heating / cooling load calculations
• Analyse air exchange based on room volumes
• Use Revit to understand the amount of electricity needed for your building
• Link to analysis software, such as IES
• Colourise your model based on mechanical / piping flow rates - and get the sizing right
• Check for interference, check whether design values meet engineering standards
• Size HVAC systems and verify pressure loss calculations
• Create schedules that check equipment for correct properties
• Create supply and return piping, adjust sizing, check piping for interferences
• Schedule piping for quantity and analysis
• Size plumbing based on fixture unit values, calculate for flow
• Work with fire protection systems
• Model electrical systems quickly and effectively
• Define voltages, assign devices to circuits, track loads, and automatically create panel schedules
