What you need to know

“

- [Instructor] This course is helpful for System Designers, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Architects, BIM Managers, and property owners, and managers. You don't need preliminary knowledge of Autodesk Revit to go through the course. As of course starts from the basics, and takes you through a complete system design and documentation workflow. But it'll help if you have at least a basic understanding and knowledge of building technology systems. This course is created based on a joint standard created by three organizations: Consumer Electronic Associations, CEA, Custom Electronics and Installations Association, CEDIA, and Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association, AVIXA, known as "ANSI-J-STD-710". Throughout the calls, I frequently refer to the ANSI standard as joint standard 710. The standard specifies the symbols for various technology systems devices in facilities. It defines the colors for different technology systems categories. And it also establishes the symbol sizes, the text sizes of the symbol attributes, and the best practices for using them. The course comes with a systems design Revit template based on the ANSI standard. The template comes with 3D Revit families, spanning all the common technology systems categories in smart buildings. And it also has an accessory, settings, view templates, view filters, legend views, standard schedules, and wiring types, among other things, to make your work in Revit easy. If you're studying, adapt the template for your system design projects. The course exercise files include 2D and 3D components which you will use to practice, as you go through the course. The Revit files are encrypted to the 2023 version of the software. So you have to have Revit 2023, or later version, installed on your PC to use the files.
