Back when Andekan first started, we built a Revit person family that we called Andy. Andy was a chance to show off our Revit family-fu, while offering something that anyone working in projects would find useful.
While it’s only August, so far it would be safe to say that 2017 has been our hottest year on record for VRF Revit content. VRF stands for Variable Refrigerant Flow, and it’s a type of HVAC system that can do modulated and mixed heating and cooling. We’ve had multiple projects from multiple manufacturers and created a wide range of VRF components throughout 2017. This made me curious to learn more about where VRF products fit in the industry and why the sudden increase in interest.
Some quick background before we begin
System connectors and their limitations have been a recurring theme in a slew of MEP content projects that we’ve been working on recently.
After my last post on building manufacturer Revit content that can easily flex to accomodate new dimensions and specs, we received a customer request that offers up a perfect study in contrasts.
We were hired recently to create a few chiller Revit families for use by a major engineering firm.
We’ve hit the ground running (sprinting, really) in 2017 with Revit content projects.
All things eventually come to an end, especially good things.
