This month, the Electrical Building Design Show looks at a topic that is getting a lot of attention in the industry. In "AI in MEP Design", David Robison explores the potential of AI, where it is lacking, and how it may impact jobs in the industry.

As of this publication, all episodes are available to view on the Electrical Building Design Show Playlist. If there are any you've missed, please go back through the playlist and catch whatever you would like to watch.

The next episode will premiere on Tuesday, April 1, so be sure to visit the Design Master YouTube channel and subscribe for notifications of new releases.

For those who prefer audio podcasts instead, there’s a version of the show in that format also. It’s carried on all the major podcast channels (Spotify, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.), and can be found by searching for the show by name.

Hot on the heels of our recent notice of FireBIM, we are excited to also announce that we've also started development on DataBIM, a low-voltage design software package specifically for Revit.

To learn more, visit our DataBIM page, and while you’re there, sign up to be notified about ongoing DataBIM progress.

Our first Electrical Mastermind of the year was held on February 27th and there were some interesting discussions between the participants. We will be sharing segments of these discussions on our YouTube channel in the coming months, so be sure to subscribe to catch them as they are released. 

Our quarterly Electrical Mastermind meeting is the perfect opportunity to connect and network with professionals nationwide, exchange insights, and discuss the latest challenges and innovations in the field. We hope you will plan to join us for the next one!

Whether seeking expert advice, best practices, or fresh perspectives, this collaborative forum keeps you engaged with your peers and ahead of the curve.

The next Mastermind will be on Thursday, May 29th at 1:30 PM Eastern / 10:30 AM Pacific.

Links to join the meeting and set reminders are available on our website.
