Description
Minimum plumbing fixture (MPF) calculations are often inconsistent, time-consuming, and dependent on Microsoft Excel (and the users' capabilities within it). This session will demonstrate how to integrate MPF calculations directly within Revit software using repurposed area data, project parameters, key schedules, and formulas. You'll learn how to implement piecewise functions to reflect code requirements, apply consistent rounding methods, and incorporate strategic overrides. This course will also introduce color scheme visualization to communicate fixture demand clearly to project teams and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs). By the end, you'll produce standardized, accurate, and code-compliant plumbing fixture calculations entirely within Revit, with a little help from Dynamo.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to repurpose workflows and data used for life safety occupant load calculations into your plumbing fixture calculations.
- Learn how to implement piecewise functions within Revit formulas.
- Learn how to reinforce your calculations by depicting plumbing occupancy distributions via intelligible plan views with color schemes.
- Learn which parameters should include manual overrides to accommodate unique circumstances.
