Automation Technology in the AE Industry
Schnackel Engineers has developed a revolutionary AI-powered technology software technology that completely automates the design of MEP systems for buildings. The software not only automates the design process, it optimizes the designs to find the most energy efficient, material efficient and cost effective solution to any design condition, saving 10-30% of the cost of the construction of the MEP distribution systems.
The software performs countless design simulations in a quest to find the most cost effective solution that meets all of the established design parameters of the project. The most cost effective solution also results in the most energy efficient and sustainable solution, saving both energy and natural resources, reducing transportation costs and even reducing construction waste.
The speed at which the software is able to render the most cost effective solution is remarkable. This live demonstration will take a 20,000 SF space from blank architectural backgrounds to finished MEP drawings and Revit models in less than one hour. It is truly a revolution for the MEP design industry.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the need for such advances as they relate to the growing sustainability of the built environment.
- Assess the need for applications of this kind on projects of many types.
- Analyze the role of automation technology in the Architectural Engineering Industry.
- Understand and explain the value of what such innovations can bring to the industry and the world.
