Description
The future of making buildings efficiently explodes when you can quickly analyze the effect of applying various design options in your Revit MEP software model. With an efficient tool to analyze a connected fire sprinkler system modeled in Revit MEP software, a fire sprinkler system can best be optimized to provide the necessary protection while minimizing the cost. This class will use a connected Revit MEP model to generate multiple design options such as trees, loops, and grids as the basis for the hydraulic calculations to determine pipe sizes and system cost for the various configurations. The class will include live demonstrations of the hydraulic calculations of flow and pressure requirements of the varying configurations of the fire protection sprinkler system using a sample Revit MEP model of each of those systems. We will also demonstrate the use of cost schedules to compare the relative costs of each of the generated configurations.
