This white paper explores how key concepts of BIM improve MEP design processes, both building mechanical and electrical, and how those processes are further enhanced when combined with Revit-based architectural and/or structural workflows.  \nCONTENTS  \nUsing BIM to Improve MEP Design .............. 1  \nBIM for Building Mechanical Design ... 5  \nBIM for Building Electrical Design .... 10  \nInside a Revit-based Design Team Workflow ................. 14  \nUsing BIM to Improve MEP Design  \nToday's demanding business environment is driving a push towards more efficiency and integration in building industry supply chains. Owners are demanding better built buildings for less money in less time. Architects, engineers and contractors are under pressure to streamline their building design and delivery process-searching for ways to improve productivity, lower costs, and deliver better-quality products.  \nThe success of BIM for building design-as evidenced by the rapid adoption of BIM solutions like Revit® Architecture software-is redefining clients' expectations of their MEP consultants. Like BIM for building and structural design, BIM for MEP is a design methodology characterized by the creation and use of coordinated, consistent computable information about a building's MEP design- information used for design decision-making, production of accurate documentation, predicting performance, cost-estimating and construction planning, and, eventually, for managing and operating the facility.  \nSeveral key concepts of Revit MEP are fundamental to understanding how BIM impacts the MEP design process: the use of a computable building model, holistic design, and parametric change management.  \nComputable Building Model  \nRevit MEP features a computable building model – that is, a model in software that can be operated on by a computer as a building  \nUsing a conventional CAD system for design, MEP engineers and designers visualize the 3D design in their brain and transfer it to a 2D drafted representation. Some CAD systems fashioned specifically for MEP design allow the user to model the system geometry in 3D for the purposes of coordination and extracting drawings-making the model seem more  \n[www.autodesk.com/revitmep](www.autodesk.com/revitmep)  \nintelligent than it really is. But because the model isn't computable, the elements and systems don't know how to interact with each other.  \nWhereas the Revit MEP building information model captures the functional relationships between building elements and systems. Walls, beams, ducts, pipes, distribution panels; they all \"know\" what they are, what they do and how to react to the rest of the building.  \nHolistic MEP Design  \nThis computable Revit MEP building model enables a \"holistic\" design approach, i.e. MEP design done in the context of the whole building. For example, since the electrical and mechanical systems \"know\" about each other-an electrical engineer can track the power requirements of the mechanical equipment included in the design and have the software automatically configure electrical load requirements to dynamically change in mechanical equipment specifications.  \nThis holistic approach unites not only the MEP disciplines, but the process as well featuring an integrated digital environment for design, documentation and analysis. When used in conjunction with other team members using Revit-based design applications, this holistic approach expands to include the rest of the building as well.  \nParametric Change Management  \nThe majority of MEP engineering solutions today are based on CAD technology with a focus on the production of construction documentation rather than the engineering design itself. The drawings are either created directly, or extracted from a model.
