The Aubin Academy Master Series: Revit Mep 2011

THE AUBIN ACADEMY MASTER SERIES: REVIT MEP 2011, is the ideal book to help readers successfully use Revit MEP. It is a concise manual focused squarely on the rationale and practicality of the Revit MEP process. This book emphasizes the process of creating projects in MEP rather than a series of independent commands and tools. The goal of each lesson is to help readers complete their projects successfully. Tools are introduced together in a focused process with a strong emphasis on why as well as how. Th

Darryl McClelland has nineteen years of practical design in MEP engineering. Although his primary focus was the design of mechanical systems, he spent eleven of those nineteen years designing electrical and plumbing systems as well. Mr. McClelland also ran his own engineering business for eight years. His design experience ranges from complex research laboratories and institutional facilities to medical and professional office buildings and everything in between. Darryl McClelland is a graduate of Purdue University and an active member of ASHRAE and ASPE.Martin J. Schmid has worked with Autodesk for the past four years, working on site with customers to implement best practices using AutoCAD MEP and Revit MEP. Prior to joining Autodesk, Mr. Schmid worked in several roles in a variety of architecture and engineering firms, including electrical designer, engineering coordinator and application developer. Mr. Schmid holds a Master's Degree in Architectural Engineering from Kansas State University and a Master's Degree in Business Management of Technology from the University of Texas in San Antonio. He has used AutoCAD since version 10 and has developed custom applications built on top of AutoCAD MEP, extending the capability to suit the specific niche needs of customer applications.Gregg Stanley is currently a Quality Assurance Analyst at Autodesk and a Piping Subject Matter Expert with Product Design for AutoCAD MEP, focused on the Piping Application. He is responsible for working with the larger development team and a Usability/Interaction Designer to redesign the third piping application for quality assurance and quality control of several AutoCAD MEP features. Mr. Stanley has over twenty-two years experience in Mechanical Process Design focused on Water Wastewater Treatment Systems using AutoCAD based solutions since Release 1.1. Mr. Stanley has also been a CAD Manager responsible for developing and instituting company specific customized applications, CAD standards and training. He has also written and presented several training classes on AutoCAD and AutoCAD MEP, internally to co-workers, as an independent consultant and at Autodesk University.
