Commissioning for BIM for MEP systems

Condition a Revit model with COBie data, generate MEP system assets in Autodesk Build, assign form checklists, and use mobile devices for on-site commissioning and reporting.


00:03

When implementing BIM for MEP systems, the integration and commissioning stage is designed to streamline asset information management.

00:12

During this sixth stage, the model is prepared for compliance with industry standards,

00:18

then mobile commissioning workflows are set up.

00:21

Here, the Revit model is being enriched with COBie data using the COBie extension, one of the BIM interoperability tools.

00:30

It provides the ability to export data from Revit in the Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (or COBie) format,

00:37

to guarantee compliance with industry standards for asset information management.

00:43

Next, assets from the MEP system are automatically generated in Autodesk Build.

00:49

This ensures that all necessary data is accurately captured and sets the stage for efficient commissioning workflows.

00:58

Each asset is then assigned a commissioning checklist that tracks its progress as it advances through key status updates,

01:04

from specified to pre-startup.

01:07

Preparing all assets for on-site validation helps to make sure they are ready for the next steps.

01:14

On-site, the contractor accesses the checklist via a mobile device, capturing critical commissioning data in real time.

01:23

This approach enhances the accuracy and efficiency of the commissioning process.

01:29

All commissioning records are securely stored and tracked in Autodesk Build,

01:34

providing a comprehensive audit trail for reporting and future reference.

01:38

This ensures that all data is preserved and easily accessible when needed.

01:44

By leveraging COBie integration, automated asset generation, and mobile commissioning workflows,

01:51

teams enhance project efficiency, ensure a smooth handover, and maintain accurate as-built data throughout the project lifecycle.
