Revit MEP Fundamentals
An introductory course on using Revit MEP to design intelligent building mechanical systems in the context of a Building Information Model.
Description
Introductory course on using Revit MEP to design intelligent building mechanical systems in the context of a Building Information Model. Participants will learn the basic functions of Revit and progress into tools for HVAC design, plumbing, piping, and fire protection systems. Use of family libraries and accessing building content from the internet will be covered but not the authoring of content.
This training is an instructor-led, online class that explains concepts, provides hands-on exercises, and offers question-and-answer sessions.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Training participants will need a computer installed with a 2024 Revit license. (Virtual Machine with a 2024 Revit license is available at a cost of $ 30.00 per day)
