Revit MEP Mechanical Training

Course Objective:

This two day instructor-led course will teach students to use Autodesk® Revit® MEP to model discipline specific MEP systems for real world applications. The instructor will use lecture, discussions, and hands-on practices (based on real customer scenarios) to teach students techniques for initiating a Building Information Model (BIM) project, recommended workflows and basic skills required to layout mechanical systems, solving common issues, and use its tools to create and modify discipline specific MEP systems and parametric engineering components. Given a complete architectural building model (as a reference), the student will be able to produce a commercial BIM design that contains functional mechanical systems. The student will then be able to extract 2D drawings for construction documents.

Who is it for?

This course is intended for Mechanical designers, drafters, modelers, and engineers new to Revit MEP. There are no required prerequisites for this course. Nevertheless, students should come to this one day class with basic understanding of BIM and have a working knowledge of Microsoft® Windows®.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Understand how to initiate a BIM project, including:
  • Setup project information / energy analysis settings & parameters.
  • Develop intelligent spaces and zones using industry best practices.
  • Define Space & Zone Energy Analysis data for load densities, service types, and conditions and constructions.
  • Understand how to leverage an analytical model to perform heating & cooling loads analysis with reporting.
  • Create sun path simulations to analyze the sun's impact on a model.
  • Create Color Fills / Legends.
  • Create Loads/Balancing/Airflow Design schedules.
  • Define mechanical systems, including:
  • Locating, placement and modification of air terminals.
  • Create Logical System Connections for supply, return, exhaust, hydronic supply and return, sanitary, and others.
  • Operate and define Revit's systems browser to user specifications.
  • Specify mechanical duct and mechanical pipe settings.
  • Design duct systems using industry best practices.
  • Design piping systems using industry best practices
