This document discusses the benefits of building information modeling (BIM) software for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design. The software allows for non-conflicting MEP design integrated with architectural models, automatic material takeoffs, interference checking, and dynamic updating when changes are made. It facilitates holistic MEP coordination, parametric change management, and reduction of construction costs through more accurate estimating and avoidance of conflicts.

1. This Building Modeling is the purpose-built building
information modeling (BIM) developed to incoorporate
non conflicting design of Mechanical, Electrical, and
Plumbing (MEP) engineering in an architectural design
of building and to identify the matrial requirements for
complete construction

2.  Computable Building Model
◦ Revit Systems features a computablebuilding model –
that is, a model in software that can be operated on by a
computer as a building
 Holistic MEP Design
◦ automatically configure electrical load requirements to
dynamically change in mechanical equipment
specifications.
 Parametric Change Management
◦ schedule, cost, building performance, and so forth
 Avoiding Interferences
◦ the MEP designer overcome the challenges of fitting the
required components into tight spaces, and then
provides interference checking to detect collisions
during the design process - reducing the risk of
construction cost overruns.

3.  Computable Building Model
◦ test the performance of their design, eliminating the
time-consuming task of transferring data manually.
 BIM for Mechanical Design
 BIM for Electrical Design
 BIM for plumbing Design
 The Data Centric Design
 Increase Design Insight
 Increase Coordination
 Enhance Communication
 Parametric Change Management

5.  Sustainable design support:
◦ Provides integrated heating and cooling load analysis tools to help
you perform
 Energy analysis
 Evaluate system loads
 Produce heating and cooling load reports.
 Duct and Pipe sizing/ Pressure calculations:
◦ Built-in calculators to perform sizing and pressure loss
calculations according to ASHRAE standards.
 HVAC /Electrical Space Design:
◦ 3D modeling of ductwork and piping for HVAC systems.
◦ Electrical color schemes for power loads, lightning per area and
more.
 System Inspector (Critical Path):
◦ Identify and adjust high pressure loss areas in your system,
enhancing economy and efficiency.
◦ This software displays critical flow path for branches, main trunks
or entire systems.

6.  The basic requirement of the project is the
materil calculations for the best estimated
costing
 Normally due to uncertanities in design safe
material estimate requires 20% to 25% increased
material which can be exactly calculated here.
 By the development of 3D modeling incorporated
with the MEP, more exact estimation of the cost
is possible.
Through this, the project cost could be reduced
upto some extant by adding it at the rate of even
less then 0.5%
