MEP model analysis

Spaces can be used by all disciplines to establish room names in a model as well as the basis for further analysis. 

This content takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. By the end, you should be able to: 

• Add Spaces and use the Space Naming tool to match architectural rooms and spaces.
• Use a space schedule to verify and modify space information.

Before you start

• Please make sure you have the Revit software loaded.
• If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support.

Spaces are full 3D elements that include important engineering data that rely on the volume of the space. Therefore each area in a model needs to be filled completely and correctly with a space. 

This module takes approximately 25 minutes to complete. By the end of the module, you should be able to: 

• Review spaces in elevation and fix volume issues.
• Add Space Separators.
• Understand room bounding elements.
• Create Plenum Levels and add spaces between floors.

Before you start

• Please make sure you have the Revit software loaded.
• If you have technical difficulties, please reach out to product support.

Welcome to the Running an MEP Model Analysis in Revit module. In this module, we will build upon “setting up MEP spaces” modules. You will review and adjust space settings to prepare for heating and cooling load analysis, then generate and review heating and cooling analysis report.

This module takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. By the end of the module, you should be able to:

• Review and adjust space settings.
• Run heating and cooling analysis.
• Review analysis report.

Before you start

Welcome to the Refining MEP Model Analysis in Revit module. In this module, we take a deeper dive into the MEP space setting in order to compare analysis results with design requirements. We will first validate the heating and cooling information within a space schedule. The schedule will show the impact of required airflow into a space to accurately size heating and cooling equipment. Next, we will modify a mechanical space type's settings. And finally, we will resize the mechanical equipment based on the updated information reflected in the schedule.

This module takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. By the end of the module, you should be able to:

• Review and modify a space schedule.
• Fine tune space settings.
• Resize mechanical equipment.
