The complexity and limited accessibility of MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) data have hindered its broader use. Traditionally confined to users proficient in specialized technology like Revit software, interactive dashboards are now a more intuitive way to consume and use this data. With Autodesk Power BI Data Connector, data from traditional authoring applications can seamlessly integrate into Power BI, providing a consolidated view of key metrics. This class will explore how to create Data Exchanges and use them to build interactive dashboards through practical examples such as the Electrical Systems Dashboard for reviewing calculations, material takeoff across multiple projects analysis using the AEC Data Model API, and a Space Dashboard for senior engineers to assess thermal loads and airflow. By the end of the session, participants will learn to create visually appealing reports and dashboards that offer a single-pane view of critical metrics, KPIs, and trends.

Mechanical designers face challenges in a project's early stages. They need precise answers with limited information while navigating numerous changes. Revit software offers comprehensive tools for effective massing and systems analysis. This interactive lab will enhance Revit proficiency, focusing on agile workflows for shell and core geometry aligned with EnergyPlus requirements. Attendees will learn to create massing models using the Revit drafting tools, and incorporate details like curtain walls and windows. They'll explore the systems analysis UI, integrate EnergyPlus for insights, and navigate analytical energy model data. This course will teach mechanical designers and engineers how to use Revit effectively in schematic design phases. Attendees will learn to adapt to digital transformation, address stakeholder inquiries, and collaborate effectively. By the end of the course, participants will bridge the gap between early project uncertainty and efficient design strategies.

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is transitioning from traditional desktop applications to a decentralized cloud model, where project data is stored in databases, not bulky files. Leading this shift, Autodesk offers a comprehensive suite of APIs and services, unlocking new ways to connect workflows with data. This class, aimed at intermediate-level users, dives into Dynamo software's connectors and the new AEC Data Model API, facilitating seamless integration of cloud-based functionalities. We start with an overview of the AEC Data Model nodes and GraphQL nodes, enabling navigation to Autodesk hubs, projects, and data sources. Attendees will learn how to connect Dynamo graphs with cloud data and efficiently unpack and filter data using a variety of nodes. The class will conclude with examples showcasing cross-trade workflows. Takeaways will include understanding the capabilities of Dynamo and Autodesk Platform Services, and inspiring new data-driven methods for future projects.
