NEC 2026 rewrites receptacle demand factors for healthcare facilities. See what changed from NEC 2023, and why circuit count now calculates specific equipment.
How NEC 2026 Changes EV Load Calculations
NEC 2026 introduces key changes to EV load calculations for electrical engineers. Learn how Power Control Systems can reduce calculated loads and what these updates mean for your designs.
AI in AEC: Why Skeptics Are Making a Familiar Mistake
AEC skeptics dismissed CAD, then BIM. Both times, they were wrong. Here is why AI is following the same curve as these earlier engineering and design technologies, and why simply dismissing it is a costly bet.
Revit 2027: What’s New for Electrical Engineers?
Revit 2027 has been released, and we explore the software’s new electrical features and tools. See what’s new or missing and how electrical engineers can get the most from the new version.
FireBIM: Your Key to Fire Alarm Design in Revit
Learn more about FireBIM, a native Revit add-in that brings purpose-built fire alarm design tools into BIM workflows, featuring integrated riser diagrams, dedicated device families, and in-model voltage drop and battery calculations.
Introducing FireBIM: What Changes When Fire Alarm Design Lives Fully Inside Revit
FireBIM transforms fire alarm design inside Revit by unifying layouts, riser diagrams, and voltage drop and battery calculations into a single, model-driven workflow. Intelligent families, automated risers, and real-time calculations create a coordinated, data-driven system that improves accuracy, efficiency, and confidence in fire alarm design.
Why Fire Alarm Design Should Be Inside the Revit Model
Modern BIM projects demand connected systems. Learn why fire alarm design belongs inside the Revit model, and what’s driving the shift. See why bringing it fully inside Revit reduces risk, improves coordination, and strengthens project accuracy.
AI in MEP Engineering: A Tool, not a Replacement
AI isn’t taking over MEP engineering, but it is changing the day-to-day work. Learn how AI supports layout, coordination, and efficiency, while engineers remain essential for judgment, optimization, and real-world problem solving.
AI, BIM, and the Future of MEP Design: A Conversation with Kevin Lawson of Ripple
In this episode of the Electrical Building Design Show, we’re joined by Kevin Lawson, PE, founder of Ripple, to talk about HVAC automation, AI in Revit, and why mechanical design often drives the rest of the building. We cut through the hype to discuss what’s working today, what’s not, and what automation means for the future of MEP.
