Revit 2 MEP - HVAC/Piping/FP/Electrical

Duration: 36 hours

Teaching Methodology: Hands-on

DESCRIPTION

Autodesk® Revit® MEP has powerful tools for HVAC, Piping, Fire Protection, and Electrical Engineers. Once the architectural model is complete, MEP engineers will link the file to add MEP components. Upon completion, they can use the software to detect clashes between elements, create views, generate quantity schedules, and prepare documentation.

OVERVIEW

Participants who take this course will learn in the first part how to link an architectural model, create MEP families, create spaces and zones, and perform energy analysis. In the second part, they will learn how to design HVAC, hydronic piping, plumbing, and fire protection. In the third part, they will learn how to create electrical systems. The following are the main topics to be covered:

Part 1 - Topics that are common to HVAC, Piping, FP, and Electrical engineers:

  • Starting the Implementation Project
  • Sites
  • Tracking Site Coverage and Developing Concepts
  • Families
  • Columns, Beams, and Foundations
