    Description

    Explore the MEP Plant Room Configurator, a transformative tool we developed that's reshaping the ways that our MEP engineers design. This web-based application provides a centralized platform for engineers to automatically design and configure their plant rooms without leaving their browser. The tool harnesses the power of the Autodesk Platform Services Design Automation API and its integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud to automate the modeling process, generating 3D layouts for Revit software or intelligent models from any computer. This session will showcase the capabilities of the Configurator and its significant impact on building services design, facilitating improved design outcomes, earlier embodied carbon assessment, and seamless integration with building information modeling (BIM) workflows.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how we used a web app to engage MEP engineers in computational tools early in the design process.
    • Learn how the Autodesk Platform Services platform was used to connect to a web app and produce intelligent models.
    • Discover how we achieve more-sustainable designs by understanding the carbon impact of MEP design at concept stage.
