AI in AEC: Lessons From CAD and BIM

Register for a free webinar on best practices for creating single-line diagrams in Revit. https://www.designmaster.biz/webinar/register-pod.html To download a free trial version of ElectroBIM, visit: ⁠⁠https://www.designmaster.biz/revit/free-trial.html⁠⁠ ---------- In this month's Electrical Building Design Show podcast episode, we talk about how the AEC industry is pushing back hard on AI, but how we've also seen this exact story play out before. Twice. From hand drafting to CAD. From CAD to BIM. The same arguments, the same skeptics, the same outcome. So what does that tell us about where AI is headed for architects and engineers? Listen to find out why early criticism isn't the same as being right, and why this industry has lost this bet before. The next episode will be released on June 15th. #AEC #ArchitectureAndEngineering #AIinConstruction #BIM #Revit #ConstructionTechnology #AECInnovation #StructuralEngineering

Revit 2027: What's New for Electrical Engineers?

In our latest Electrical Building Design Show podcast episode, we look at the recent release of Revit 2027. If you're an electrical engineer, you'll want to hear this before you get too excited, though. Everyone's talking about the new AI features, and yes, they're interesting. But when you dig into what's actually in this release for electrical design specifically, the list is... short. Very short. No buzzwords, no overpromising, just an honest discussion about what’s working, what isn’t, and where things are headed. We go through the full release notes so you don't have to, and compare the information to what appeared in last year's release. Listen to find out if Revit 2027 is worth your attention. The next episode will be released on May 4th. ------------ Register for a free webinar on best practices for creating single-line diagrams in Revit. https://www.designmaster.biz/webinar/register-pod.html To download a free trial version of ElectroBIM, visit: ⁠⁠https://www.designmaster.biz/revit/free-trial.html⁠⁠ #Revit2027 #ElectricalEngineering #MEPEngineering #BIM #Revit #ElectricalDesign #RevitElectrical #BuildingInformationModeling #EngineeringTechnology #AutodeskRevit

FireBIM: Fire Alarm Design in Revit

The same team that created ElectroBIM is back with something new. In this short episode, we pull back the curtain on FireBIM, our new fire alarm design software built specifically for Revit. We walk through why we built it, what problems it solves, and what makes it different from what Revit offers out of the box. If you've ever wanted to complete your entire fire alarm design workflow inside Revit, from floor plans to riser diagrams, this introductory episode is for you. We give you a first look at the core features we've been developing, share where we are in the build process, and let you know how you can get involved before the official release. ***To download the beta version of FireBIM, visit: https://www.designmaster.biz/fire-alarm/free-trial.html The next episode will be released on April 20th. #FireBIM #ElectroBIM #RevitDesign #FireAlarm #BIM #MEPEngineering #FireProtection #RevitPlugins #ConstructionTech #AECIndustry

AI, BIM, and the Future of MEP Design

In our first season 5 audio episode of the Electrical Building Design Show, we’re joined by Kevin Lawson, PE, founder of Ripple, for a practical conversation on where automation in MEP actually stands today. We dive into: • HVAC automation and its real-world impact • AI workflows in Revit (what’s useful vs. what’s noise) • Why mechanical design often sets the direction for the entire building • What automation really means for the future of MEP design No buzzwords, no overpromising, just an honest discussion about what’s working, what isn’t, and where things are headed. Join us if you’re interested in the intersection of engineering, automation, and design workflows that actually save time. The next episode will be released on February 16th. ---------- Register for a free webinar on best practices for creating single-line diagrams in Revit. https://www.designmaster.biz/webinar/register-pod.html To download a free trial version of ElectroBIM, visit: ⁠⁠https://www.designmaster.biz/revit/free-trial.html⁠⁠ ---------- #MEPDesign #HVACDesign #MechanicalEngineering #HVAC #BIM #Revit #DesignAutomation

One Engineer's Insights from Autodesk University

First-time AU attendee Dave Fetzer (SSOE) joins the Electrical Building Design Show to unpack what made Autodesk University truly eye-opening for him this year, from AI in Revit and interesting exhibitors to the meetups shaping BIM strategy. We also discuss how his team approaches automation in real projects (hint: it’s not about replacing engineers). Curious what surprised him most, and what he’s bringing back to the office? ---------- Register for a free webinar on best practices for creating single-line diagrams in Revit. https://www.designmaster.biz/webinar/register-pod.html To download a free trial version of ElectroBIM, visit: ⁠⁠https://www.designmaster.biz/revit/free-trial.html⁠⁠ ---------- #AutodeskUniversity #Revit #BIM #ElectricalEngineering #BuildingDesign
