Revit MEP (Essentials)

As a result of attending this training you will be able to understand Revit’s interface and terminology, set up and begin a project, analyse your building model for performance, such as heating and cooling, create and modify ductwork, layout and create system piping, plumbing systems, fire protection systems and electrical circuits.

Course Content:

• Understand the Revit user interface and its basic drawing and editing tools
• Understand how BIM differs from traditional CAD
• Understand views and visibility -- the essential element of any Revit project
• Create sections and elevations with ease
• Visualise your model in 3D and review alternative designs
• Importing and linking architecture projects
• Best practices for distributing project tasks to your team
• Use Revit for engineering data calculations
• Represent the area required by each piece of mechanical equipment, and then use for analysis
• Use Revit’s analytical model for heating/cooling load calculations
• Create an HVAC system, check for interference, check whether design values meet standards
• Create supply and return piping, adjust sizing, check piping for interferences
• Size plumbing based on fixture unit values, calculate for flow
• Model electrical systems quickly and effectively
• Define voltages, assign devices to circuits, track loads, and automatically create panel schedules
• Create callout views for increasing levels of detail
• Create detail views for builders, fabricators or installers
• Eliminate errors with schedules that automatically update
• Create your own reusable geometry, from diffusers to diesel generators, with intelligent connectors
