For three years now, we have conducted a survey of engineers and designers in the MEP industry to learn about their experiences using building information modeling (BIM). We are running the same survey again this year to see how the adoption of this technology has changed. We would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out our survey. The results, including a comparison with the surveys from the last three years, will be discussed in a newsletter later this year.
(Editor's Note: The survey has ended.)
You can read the results of last year’s survey here.
Do you use Revit MEP for electrical design? If you do, we need your help.
The add-in we first mentioned for Revit MEP in April is now ready for beta testing. It adds feeder sizing, fault calculations, voltage drop, and arc-flash calculations to Revit MEP.
We're now at the point with the software where we am looking for
people who use Revit MEP who can help us do some robustness testing.
The calculations are all correct, and it works well on the sample
projects we have tried. But we need some more "real world" projects to
make sure everything is working.
Are you currently using Revit MEP on projects and would you be willing
to run a couple tests for me? If you are, reply to this email and let
us know.
