With our clients ever increasing demand for accurate and efficient designs, DFW Consulting Group has raised the bar with the addition of our Revit MEP services. The Revit platform of software utilizes BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology to create a 3D model of our project, in which we can logically lay out our MEP systems while avoiding unnecessary conflicts. Working in conjunction with Revit Architecture and Revit Structure, Revit MEP allows us to take coordination with architects and structural design team to a whole new level. In traditional AutoCAD design, lines and patterns are used to represent floor plans. Additional lines and patterns were drawn on top to represent our Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems. In Revit MEP, the building is actually modeled in three dimensions, with walls having heights, floors having thicknesses and ductwork having depths. Our floor plans are no longer simply lines that represent walls and doors, they are two...Read More >>

CFD Analysis - A Cost Saving Measure for Building Owners

Traditional methods of designing HVAC systems normally rely on an engineer's experience, calculations and "rule of thumb" techniques as well as some empirical relationships. The limitation to this is that each building is unique in terms of its geometry, use, heat gains, personnel, location, etc. and therefore favorable experiences on one project cannot necessarily be applied to another. There is also the tendency to add margins into the design to compensate for these approximations. Ultimately, margins can be added on to margins with the result being a system over designed...
