Introduction to Adjusting MEP Space Volumes in Revit

00:01

MARTHA HOLLOWELL ORCUTT: Setting up

00:02

spaces for HVAC analysis in Revit.

00:05

In this course, we're going to modify the volume of spaces

00:09

in a project.

00:10

This is part of the MEP analysis phase of the project.

00:15

By setting up the volume of spaces,

00:17

you'll be able to perform more accurate heating and cooling

00:20

loads analysis.

00:22

First, we will find and adjust space volumes in Revit

00:25

using controls and properties.

00:28

Next, we will add space separators

00:31

and modify room bounding elements to further clean up

00:34

any space volume issues.

00:37

Finally, we will create plenum levels

00:39

and add spaces between floors where there are no rooms.

00:43

This way we can gather engineering data

00:46

from non occupied areas.

00:49

In this set of videos, we will review spaces and elevation

00:53

and fixed volume issues.

00:55

We will add space separators, understand and modify room

00:59

bounding elements, and create plenum levels

01:02

and add spaces between floors.
