Data-Driven Load Calculations for MEP Analysis in Revit

Revit software's MEP Analysis has seen significant advancements in recent releases. However, given the multitude of options available for model generation, it remains a challenge to ensure consistency and efficiency when producing a model that can be used for analysis. This presentation will present a data-driven workflow to efficiently generate a building while providing sufficient detail for room-by-room load calculations and accommodating the ever-present possibility of changes during the design phase of a project. By using powerful Revit tools like schedules, views, and families, the likelihood of generating a clean model is greatly improved. Potential workflows include starting from a 3D model or a 2D plotted or scanned PDF.
