Building Information Modelling with Revit MEP

Program Overview

Building Information Modelling with Revit MEP (Certificate, L6, 10 ECTS)

Course Overview

The programme will provide learners with a solid grounding in Mechanical and Electrical Building Information Modelling (BIM) using Autodesk’s Revit MEP. This programme will encompass the basics of Mechanical and Electrical Building systems as well as other BIM functionality such as tables and building quantities. This course will benefit existing Revit Architecture users, or users of other BIM systems looking to expand their knowledge.

Entry Requirements

• Minimum entry requirements are Grade OD3 or higher in five subjects in the Leaving Certificate.
• Applicants are also expected to have a working knowledge of Revit Architecture, or to have completed Revit Architecture training.
• Knowledge of building design and construction is also desirable.
