Automated MEP design

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention include a method for automatically designing MEP for a building. The method may include receiving information about the building including a first structural model of the building, and retrieving design specifications from a database, including information about local building codes, physical laws and building design rules. Information about available MEP components may be retrieved from a component library. The information about the building and the design specifications may be analyzed to determine additional elements for the first structural model of the building. A second structural model of the building including the additional elements may then be prepared.

1. A method for automatically designing MEP for a building comprising:
providing a processor; receiving information about the building comprising a first structural model of the building; retrieving from a database, design specifications, including information about local building codes, physical laws and building design rules; retrieving from a component library, information about available MEP components; analyzing, using the processor, the information about the building and the design specifications to determine additional elements for the first structural model of the building; and automatically preparing a second structural model of the building comprising the additional elements, wherein the information about available MEP components comprises information about at least one of the additional elements.
