Problem
Dealing with Larger, More Complex Projects
  • The more complex the project, the harder it is to stay coordinated with the other design disciplines.
  • We are usually the last to hear of changes that affect our designs.
  • I’m held responsible for RFIs if the construction documents aren’t accurate.
10
Solution
Better Collaboration Using a Single Model
  • Reduce coordination errors.
  • Reduce costly RFIs with accurate documentation.
  • Accommodate last-minute design changes.


11
Problem
Scarcity of Trained, Competent Professionals
  • We are so busy, I need immediate productivity from my people.
  • I need my people creating designs, not content.
  • My clients depend on our clear and consistent construction documents.
12
Solution: AutoCAD Revit MEP Suite
Start with a Common Platform,
and Move to BIM at Your Own Pace
  • Work in a familiar environment.
  • Use tools and content designed for MEP professionals.
  • Create MEP documentation faster.
13
Problem
Meeting Clients’ Demands for Sustainable Designs
  • I’m being required to provide building performance analysis for my clients.
  • I need a solution that works with the model I already have.
14
Solution
Employ integrated building performance analysis tools
    • Furnish the design team with heating and cooling load analysis results.
    • Easily report analysis data such as building energy requirements, carbon emissions, and thermal and daylighting impacts.
    • Forecast annual building utility and energy costs.

Problem
Time-Consuming, Repetitive Drafting Tasks
  • How do I keep my annotation accurate as my design changes?
  • How can I better manage my schedules during the design process?
  • How can I avoid doing redundant work as I create my final construction documents?
19
Solution
Design and Coordinate More Effectively
    • Automated labeling tools streamline annotation process.
    • Annotations update automatically when design changes are made or when switching view scale.
    • Schedules are created and updated automatically as you create your design.

25
Problem
Increasing Global Environmental Awareness
  • The smarter my clients become, the harder we have to work to meet their demands.
  • How can I easily answer my clients’ desire for energy usage in my design?
  • I am being asked to support clients’ LEED certification needs.
26
Solution
BIM-Enabled Building Performance Analysis
  • Leverage the power of BIM to meet the demands of clients.
  • Predict building performance using integrated analysis applications.
  • Support the growing demand for certification using the data available with BIM.


27
Problem
Increasing Demand for Sustainable Design
  • Clients are expecting additional analysis for the same cost and in the same time.
  • Multiple analysis tools in the market. Which ones do I use?
  • I don’t have the resources to repeatedly enter data into third-party analytical applications.
28
Solution
Building Performance Analysis with BIM
  • Predict building performance using a common BIM platform.
  • Analyze energy usage of your design with integrated, industry-accepted tools and partner applications.


  • Share data easily with analysis tools using gbXML exchange format.


29
Problem
Growing Adoption of BIM as a Design Standard
  • My current software applications are not interoperable.


  • To meet my customers’ expectations, drafters use separate software for construction documentation.


  • Engineers often have to rebuild models for analysis and design.


30
Solution
Revit MEP—the BIM Solution for MEP Engineers
  • One integrated model for analysis, design, and documentation


  • Automated drafting tasks such as sections, elevations, and annotations


  • Integrated analysis tools as well as easy links with partner applications
