In Revit, the project file in which you will create the MEP project is based on a Revit Template File (. These views are associative in nature which means when you change the building design in one view, it is propagated throughout the project. In Revit, you can generate different views such as plan, elevation, and sections from a 3D building project. The information in the project also includes different views of the project, working drawings created from the building elements, and the documentation related to design of the model. Generally, this information includes the details of the building elements like walls, doors, windows, beams, columns, ducts, pipes, equipment, fixtures, and others. This means that the project file that you create will contain all the information related to building design from geometry to various construction documentations such as schedules and legends. In BIM environment, a project is delivered as an integrated model comprising elements of various disciplines such as Architecture, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Structure, and Coordination.

The accompanying tutorials and exercises, which relate to the real world projects, help you understand the usage and abilities of the tools available in Autodesk Revit 2018. Each concept in this textbook is explained using the detailed description and relevant graphical examples and illustrations. In this textbook, special emphasis has been laid on the concepts of space modeling and tools to create systems for all disciplines (MEP).

The topics covered in this textbook range from creating building components, HVAC system, electrical system, plumbing system, and Fire protection system to designing conceptual massing, performing HVAC heating and loading analysis, and creating rich construction documentation. The book explores the processes involved in Building Information Modeling. Exploring Autodesk Revit 2018 for MEP textbook covers the detailed description of all basic and advanced workflows and tools to accomplish an MEPF (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Fighting) project in a BIM environment.
