BIM content for your MEP projects

Valsir Product Line Placer to get Valsir Products in your BIM process

19 February 2019

MEPcontent partnered with the well-known manufacturer Valsir S.p.A. to allow MEP specialists around the world to save time and work in a more user-friendly way. One new Application in Revit to work with the most used Valsir products for free.

"We have never overlooked any detail in the development of our BIM models and as from today, with MEPcontent, we have also managed to facilitate engineers in the way to use them."
Eng. Alessandro Giovannini-Director, Technical Department Valsir S.p.A.

The Valsir Product Line Placer for Revit Application gives you the opportunity to design MEP systems with actual and localized products from Valsir. The short 1:25 min video will explain how it works to get an impression of the App, even if you do not have Revit (yet). Do you know you can even create schedules with product data to be placed on your Bill of Materials in a matter of seconds? Like a Cutting List, Fittings schedule or Equipment schedule?

Download the App, install it on your pc and start working with it to experience yourself how helpful it can be.

4 Product lines, 32 product groups, dozens of Valsir system types

Content from Valsir® Triplus®, Valsir® Silere®, Valsir® PP3/PP and Valsir® HDPE is included in this plugin. Additional Valsir articles can be accessed from the integrated content library through the MEPcontent browser, where you can find the missing pieces to complete your Revit project.

E-Series Air-cooled Chilling Units from Mitsubishi Electric

18 February 2019

New modules increased to 50 HP and 60 HP can be applied to larger capacity areas

Due to advancing global warming, there is a strong demand for central heat-pump solutions with higher performance. Mitsubishi Electric’s high-efficiency, large-capacity modular chillers can meet the requirements for installation of large-capacity heat source equipment in limited spaces. This now means there is a wider choice of units available in Cooling only, Heating Only or Heat-Pump options.

New features:

• New 50 HP and 60 HP modules. With these new modules, the range is increased to include 50 and 60 HP each. Up to 6 units of each module can be connected in one group, so capacity can be increased from 150kW (50HP x 1) to 1080kW (60 HP × 6 units). These larger systems compliment the existing 30HP lineup as usual.


• High energy saving performance with Eurovent Rank A efficiency. With an energy saving operation realized in both cooling and heating modes resulting in an EER of 3.19 and COP 3.29 and an overall SEER of 4.62 for the size P1500 and 4.58 for the size P1800. This is achieved by our efficient Y shaped coils and smart inverter technology.
  
• Small space-saving and flexible module footprint. Large capacity systems can facilitate units being separated & spaced to tight site configurations.


• Built-in redundancy, keeping all other modules working in the event of a problem. Each module comprises of 2 circuits each, maintaining a high degree of system security and peace of mind.


• High-efficiency scroll compressor is equipped with inverter, so optimum operation can be realized according to the load. This reduces in-rush current and helps to stabilise the overall building power supply. Built-in rotation for even wear and load distribution.


• Selectable piping system to save installation space and installation work. Standard piping and built-in header (-N) types are available. The optimum piping system can be selected according to the design and construction needs.


• A range of control options from a simple PARW31MAA controller to an AE-200E/A with built-in Web Browser are available.

MEPcontent and Constructible: impossible to ignore in the MEP sector

30 January 2019

For more than 28 years, we made it our top priority to provide you with high quality, accurate and light BIM content that you can use in your projects. Content that contains graphic and parametric product information to be used in your projects.

With the vast amount of knowledge that flows in our team of MEP specialists, comes great responsibility as well. In other words, we had to make sure that the content we provide is being used in well-informed ways, so that MEP engineers around the world can achieve maximum productivity and cost reduction through their designs.

How did we do this?

By supplying the international MEPcontent community with knowledge articles, discussion threads and actionable and accurate information about the latest developments and best practices in the MEP sector.

You might recognize this as the news sections, which you are currently viewing, or as our email newsletter, your weekly digest of the most relevant MEP and BIM news.

Today we are announcing…

… that Constructible joins forces with MEPcontent in becoming the essential dynamic duo that you need for MEP content and MEP knowledge.

What is Constructible?

Constructible is the go-to platform where stakeholders from all construction disciplines - MEP, estimating, contracts and bids, management, structural, etc. - gather to gain knowledge and actionable information about innovations in construction technology, best practices and latest industry news.

The Constructible Hub is where you can share resources, discuss advances in construction and build your knowledge about how to implement them within businesses.

Offering Construction industry resources to help you design, build & operate better.

Look at it this way: if MEPcontent is the place where you acquire virtual MEP building blocks, Constructible is the instruction board on how to best use that valuable ammunition. Constructible also relates to the Trimble Constructible Process

Why should you care at all?

If the MEP industry could be compared to a Pokemon arena in terms of MEP knowledge, then MEPcontent would be a Charmander and Constructible would be a Charizard. With hundreds of contributors selected from among the very best professional MEP ranks around the world, the Constructible Hub now represents the hallmark for the latest verified information about MEP best practices.

So also if you are not into Pokemon, it is clear to see that you should check out the Constructible sites to stay up-to-date about the latest trends and developments and about the Constructible process where we want to offer you Content to be used in actual buildable situations.

So here you have it: MEPcontent for IFC, Revit and CAD content and Constructible for Building industry knowledge.

As of now, most knowledge articles featured in the MEPcontent newsletter will be hosted on the Constructible Hub.
