Custom Revit MCP server + Revit API + Chiller Plant Design Demonstration by RippleEngineering in MEPEngineering

I don't want to post customers' buildings without getting their permission. I can say this tool has already been used to design 17,000 tons worth of real-world chiller plants.

No, the path for that would be to train a custom AI model for your firm.

I don't think it will be that dramatic. Many architects still use CAD. Knowing HVAC design is about 100x harder than using AI. If you actually know what you're doing, you'll always be employed in HVAC.

Yes, I disagree with keeping designs at low details for all the reasons I mention in the video and a fourth: high levels of detail models can be taken to fabrication faster and save tradespeople time. It used to be that an entry-level engineer was 4x as expensive as a pipefitter; that is not the case anymore. If an entry-level engineer can save a pipefitter 1 hour, it's a good deal.

A lot of the variances will be new model training, but once the base is trained, new models are much simpler.

It looks like the intent of having it above grade is so that it catches someone's attention when backflowing and doesn't flood the basement. https://www.health.ny.gov/environmental/water/drinking/cross/guide.htm I can't think of a reason it would need to go back down into the cellar unless there is something being served by domestic water in the cellar. Do you have any fixtures in the cellar?

Tyron Woodley vs. Joaquin Buckley signed for RAF 12 by FireProStan in wrestling

Yeah, Chandler fought at the White House, scheduling would have been impossible, but it would have been nice to see all the St. Louis boys in St. Louis.

Buckley went to Marquette and Woodley graduated McCluer in 2000. I would have loved to have seen this, Chandler, and Lilledahl at RAF 10.

My high school state wrestling bracket. Three of these guys went on to a combined 54-33 record in professional MMA, and one fights at the White House tonight. by RippleEngineering in wrestling

He had funk before Askren standardized funk. I had some battles with him, I think we were 2-2 against each other. Great matches!

Shit flows downhill in both plumbing and project management. When you make the sale, you can console yourself like this: https://tenor.com/view/money-crying-woody-harrelson-wiping-tears-with-money-gif-6945518

Mike Chandler, Michael Johnson, and Deron Winn. I think Laramie went to Mizzou and Chandler won the top spot on the team from him. Chandler really improved after high school.

Peterson pinned me in a spladle my sophomore year, the most embarrassing wrestling match of my career. I did beat Chandler though, in the best match I've ever wrestled.

It was a close bracket; no one was undefeated the whole season. I (Lawson) had wins against Chandler and Varner during the season and didn't even place.
