Course length: 3 days

Description

Students use Revit MEP to learn about building information modeling and the tools for parametric MEP systems design and documentation. Students begin the three-day course by learning the fundamental features of Revit MEP, and then progress through schematic design, system analysis, and construction documentation before finishing with design visualization.
