Create lighting models in Revit MEP by leveraging data-rich families and objects containing electrical loads and distribution system type to automate and support efficient lighting design using space plans.
Learn to use spaces in Revit MEP for electrical design, performing illumination calculations, luminaire placement, and volume-based analysis, with spaces linked to architectural rooms and automatic naming.
Create power and data circuits by placing devices, selecting them to form systems, and using connectors and panels to define circuit types and manage elements.
Configure electrical connectors in Revit MEP, assign voltages and loads to devices like receptacles, and place or edit connectors on surfaces to define circuits and switches for proper electrical coordination.
Learn to place electrical equipment such as transformers, panels, and switchboards in Revit MEP, distinguish it from devices, and configure both primary and secondary distribution systems for proper connections.
Learn to build a power distribution system in revit mep by creating circuits, selecting and linking panels of varying amperages, balancing panels, and previewing wiring with conduits and cable trays.
Configure cable tray and conduit settings in electrical systems to define sizes, symbols, and annotations, ensuring proper nomenclature and consistency before modeling.
Learn to model electrical conduits in Revit MEP by placing straight segments, adjusting diameter and elevation, configuring bend radii, and creating intersections and parallel conduit runs.
Place cable trays on the model by setting width, height from a dropdown, and elevation to 3600 mm; draw straight with shift, then connect conduit.
Set up load calculation and dashboard view by configuring load classifications and demand factors, then apply apparent load methods to panel schedules for a dynamic electrical system overview.
Analyze board properties, inspect instance properties and nomenclature options, apply prefixes and separators for circuit naming, balance loads, and generate a panel schedule with a default template.
Create electrical circuit schedules in Revit MEP by building circuit tables, selecting parameters like circuit number, length, rating, and apparent load, and filtering for power systems for data export.
In this course we will focus on using Revit to model, design, and compute electrical systems. You will learn to work collaboratively with other disciplines related to the design and construction of buildings.
#AulaGEO
During the development of the course we will pay attention to the necessary configuration within a Revit project to be able to execute electrical calculations. We will show you how to work with circuits, boards, voltage types and electrical distribution systems. You will learn how to extract data from circuits and create dashboard views that balance design loads.
Finally, we will show you how to create detailed reports of parts, conductors and electrical pipes.
The AulaGeo team worked hard on this course. It was developed in Spanish by Enzo, voiced by Gabriella for English speaking students.
