Building Information Modelling for Building Services - Essentials (MEP)

About this course:

As a result of attending this training you will be able to understand ’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.

• Describe Building Information Modelling and its benefits
• Set up a new project
• Learn best practices for 3D building services design
• Use for building performance analysis

Areas covered:

• Understand the  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  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  for engineering data calculations  
• Represent the area required by each piece of mechanical equipment, and then use for analysis 
• Use ’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
