CAD 187 MEP BIM in Revit

DELIVERY MODE

This course is offered every semester on Thursday nights 6:10-10 PM. There is a brief introduction of the topics covered in the chapter scheduled for each week. Following the lecture, the students will take a short quiz on the topics covered the week before. The remainder of the session is spent working on the weekly Revit MEP exercises.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning) and piping system design using parametric application software such as AutoDesk's Revit-MEP . Introduction to computer generated documents to specify HVAC and piping systems layout and details. HVAC and process pipe industry drawing standards. Mechanical design including determination of equipment sizes.

Partially fulfills the requirements for four certificates: Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Design (CAD) - Architecture, Heating, Ventilation, Air-conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC), and Engineered Plumbing Systems. The four certificates provide occupational training, which prepares students for modern design and drafting entry-level jobs in engineering and architectural firms.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Distinguish the various equipment and ANSI symbols for pipe, fittings and joint type and interpret pipe specifications with regard to size and class.
• Relate the functions of various equipment in an HVAC and piping system.
• Create plans and elevation of various industrial process pipe installations using Revit software.
• Formulate a procedure to plot scale drawings of floor plans and elevations of both pipe & HVAC systems.
• Design HVAC systems for a building of specified square footage and calculate the size of components and ducts.
• Create isometric piping diagrams and piping spool drawings, complete with bill of materials.
• Distinguish the various equipment and ANSI symbols for pipe, fittings and joint type and interpret pipe specifications with regard to size and class.
