Adding mechanical controls

“

- [Instructor] It is crucial to integrate the technology systems in modern facilities into the building management system, BMS. The concept of integrated building technology starts from the design stage and not an afterthought. HVAC systems consume the highest energy in buildings, and modern facilities increasingly deploy a predictive maintenance approach by using smart sensors embedded in HVAC systems to track and optimize energy consumption in real time. Depending on their function, this includes temperature and humidity sensors, thermostats and humidistats, among others. So in this video, we will add some mechanical control devices to the HVAC system. We'll also add some ducts and pipe accessories to control air and water flows. So open the file you used in the previous video called Mechanical Controls, in the chapter exercise files folder. So at this point, launch Revit, navigate to exercise files. From the chapter 03 folder, open this file, Mechanical Controls, which I have here…
