Book Description
To take full advantage of Building Information Modeling, the Autodesk(R) Revit(R) 2018 MEP: Fundamentals student guide has been designed to teach the concepts and principles of creating 3D parametric models of MEP system from engineering design through construction documentation. The student guide is intended to introduce students to the software's user interface and the basic HVAC, electrical, and piping/plumbing components that make the Autodesk Revit software a powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. The student guide will also familiarize students with the tools required to create, document, and print the parametric model. The examples and practices are designed to take the students through the basics of a full MEP project from linking in an architectural model to construction documents. Topics Covered Working with the Autodesk Revit software's basic viewing, drawing, and editing commands. Inserting and connecting MEP components and using the System Browser. Working with linked architectural files. Creating spaces and zones so that you can analyze heating and cooling loads. Creating HVAC networks with air terminals, mechanical equipment, ducts, and pipes. Creating plumbing networks with plumbing fixtures and pipes. Creating electrical circuits with electrical equipment, devices, and lighting fixtures and adding cable trays and conduits. Creating HVAC and plumbing systems with automatic duct and piping layouts. Testing duct, piping and electrical systems. Creating and annotating construction documents. Adding tags and creating schedules. Detailing in the Autodesk Revit software. Prerequisites This student guide introduces the fundamental skills in learning the Autodesk Revit MEP software. It is highly recommended that students have experience and knowledge in MEP engineering and its terminology.

Book Description
What's New? In 2020 version author add a Tag Circuits unit to demonstrate how to use combined annotation tags with panel name and circuit number to tag electrical circuits. --------------------------------------- The purpose of this book is to provide efficient materials for those who want to learn the software of Autodesk Revit, especially for those who are interesting in building MEP systems. This book is ideal for school students and instructors. It also helps MEP professionals who want to add this software tool to enhance their works. As the title "Step by Step" of this book implies, readers will exercise the software from the beginning to the end of the modeling. That's how you get the whole picture of the entire story and learn the software. This book covers five major disciplines of MEP systems: • Mechanical • Hydronic Piping • Electrical • Plumbing • Fire Protection Besides the modeling of 3D Duct Works, Conduits and Piping, it also covers Energy Analysis, Lighting Calculation, Schedule Creations and many MEP related Properties. The last two are really the heart of Building Information. Author also included a bonus chapter of Architectural Modeling that will give reader extra background and experience of the software. I wrote this book in two versions: Imperial and Metric. Reader can choose the one to suit his/her need. With 1000+ steps, 1000+ figures, 60+ exercise files (download from author's Google Drive) to guide you to complete the entire modeling of a building, there is no reason you cannot succeed Autodesk Revit MEP.

Book Description
Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2018 provides a step-by-step introduction to AutoCAD with commands presented in the context of each tutorial. In fifteen clear and comprehensive chapters, author Shawna Lockhart guides readers through all the important commands and techniques in AutoCAD 2018, from 2D drawing to solid modeling and finally finishing with rendering. In each lesson, the author provides step-by-step instructions with frequent illustrations showing exactly what appears on the AutoCAD screen. Later, individual steps are no longer provided, and readers are asked to apply what they've learned by completing sequences on their own. A carefully developed pedagogy reinforces this cumulative-learning approach and supports readers in becoming skilled AutoCAD users. Tutorial Guide to AutoCAD 2018 begins with three Getting Started chapters that include information to get readers of all levels prepared for the tutorials. The author includes tips that offer suggestions and warnings as you progress through the tutorials. Key Terms and Key Commands are listed at the end of each chapter to recap important topics and commands learned in each tutorial. Also, a glossary of terms and Commands Summary list the key commands used in the tutorials. Each chapter concludes with end of chapter problems providing challenges to a range of abilities in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering as well as architectural problems.

Book Description
"The BIM Handbook is an extensively researched and meticulously written book, showing evidence of years of work rather than something that has been quickly put together in the course of a few months. It brings together most of the current information about BIM, its history, as well as its potential future in one convenient place, and can serve as a handy reference book on BIM for anyone who is involved in the design, construction, and operation of buildings and needs to know about the technologies that support it. The need for such a book is indisputable, and it is terrific that Chuck Eastman and his team were able to step up to the plate and make it happen. Thanks to their efforts, anyone in the AEC industry looking for a deeper understanding of BIM now knows exactly where to look for it." AECbytes book review, August 28, 2008 (www.aecbytes.com/review/2008/BIMHandbook.html) DISCOVER BIM: A BETTER WAY TO BUILD BETTER BUILDINGS Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers a novel approach to design, construction, and facility management in which a digital representation of the building process is used to facilitate the exchange and interoperability of information in digital format. BIM is beginning to change the way buildings look, the way they function, and the ways in which they are designed and built. The BIM Handbook, Second Edition provides an in-depth understanding of BIM technologies, the business and organizational issues associated with its implementation, and the profound advantages that effective use of BIM can provide to all members of a project team. Updates to this edition include: Completely updated material covering the current practice and technology in this fast-moving field Expanded coverage of lean construction and its use of BIM, with special focus on Integrated Project Delivery throughout the book New insight on the ways BIM facilitates sustainable building New information on interoperability schemas and collaboration tools Six new case studies Painting a colorful and thorough picture of the state of the art in building information modeling, the BIM Handbook, Second Edition guides readers to successful implementations, helping them to avoid needless frustration and costs and take full advantage of this paradigm-shifting approach to construct better buildings that consume fewer materials and require less time, labor, and capital resources.
