Imperial Tutorial - Autodesk

Express Workshop
The Express Workshop tutorials focus on specific areas of Revit MEP functionality and highlight powerful features that
are integral to the most common MEP workflows. Each tutorial demonstrates tools you can use to complete tasks that are
common to an overall workflow. When you have finished these tutorials, you will have a basic understanding of Revit
MEP design and documentation tools, as well as some of the best practices that help you efficiently design and develop
an MEP project.
Creating a Supply Air System
2
In this lesson, you create a supply air system that consists of 2 low pressure, secondary supply air systems
and a primary, high pressure system.
In Revit MEP, an HVAC system is a logical connection between air terminals and HVAC mechanical
equipment. After air terminals and mechanical equipment are placed in a model, you can create supply,
return, and exhaust systems using these components. The systems are used to perform calculations and
analysis, and to place and size ductwork, which is the physical representation of the system.
The model you use in this lesson contains the secondary system Mechanical Supply Air 1. To create Mechanical
Supply Air 2, you place the variable air volume (VAV) box, connect it to existing air terminals, and size the
ductwork. You then create the main trunk line for Mechanical Supply Air 3 and connect it to the 2 secondary
systems. Finally, you add and connect the air handler, creating the primary supply system.
