System Modeling tutorials
With Revit MEP, electrical engineers model the power and lighting circuitry of the building
spaces. During system modeling, the user places light fixtures, power devices and
equipment in the model, then creates a circuit connected to a distribution panel. The user
defines wire types, voltage ranges, distribution systems, and demand factors to ensure the
compatibility of electrical connections in the design and prevent overloads and
mismatched voltages.
The resultant circuit model allows users to calculate the estimated demand loads on
feeders and panels, and then use these loads to adequately size equipment in the design
environment. Load balancing is made easy when managing circuits; with the click of a button
users can balance electrical loads between the buses on their panels. Built-in circuiting tools
also allow users to total loads and generate reports for accurate documentation.
A System Browser lets a user check the continuity of an electrical model to identify
orphaned elements that are not connected to any system, making sure that system
elements are properly connected and contribute to system load requirements for
optimized circuitry. Once the circuits are defined, Revit MEP automatically "wires" the
electrical devices by placing annotation that includes the homerun to the panel assigned
to the circuit.
Built-in electrical calculations enhance the system design with engineering data, providing
design decision support from the building model and reducing the burden of manual
calculations. For example, Revit MEP can automatically estimate lighting levels in rooms
based on the lights placed in the space, excluding daylight. The user just defines the
reflectivity values of the room surfaces, attaches industry-standard IES data files to
lighting, defines the calculation workplane height and the system automatically calculates
the average estimated illumination value for the room.
Increased Coordination
Coordination between a building's electrical and mechanical systems is critical, as one
powers the other. The data-centric approach of Revit MEP provides engineers a holistic
view of the building model and systems. For examples, a user can review the electrical
requirements on mechanical equipment, and configure voltage and power load
requirements to dynamically update in panel schedules.
In addition to building model and system coordination, a purpose-built BIM solution like
Revit MEP automatically coordinates all design documentation as well. Like all Revit
platform solutions, drawings, sheets, views, schedules, reports and so forth are all "live"
views of the same underlying database. Therefore electrical documentation such as
electrical plans and panel schedules are always consistent.
