In-Depth Information
The ability to see the performance-based data is essential to checking the
quality of your design and for making appropriate changes to the design
when necessary.

shows an example of a duct airflow schedule
that displays the properties related to the performance of the system rather
than information about the physical properties of the ductwork.
Using Third-Party Data
Shelley uses a third-party application—IES—to analyze her HVAC
designs. Because the software she uses is compatible with Revit MEP
2015, she can import the data generated from the third-party analysis
into her Revit projects.
When this data is imported, she wants to be able to see the values as
they pertain to each space in combination with the types of air
terminals used in her design. Shelley has created a Space schedule with
an embedded Air Terminal schedule that allows her to view the results
from the third-party analysis in each space alongside the airflow
properties of her air terminals. She has added this schedule to her
project template so that it is available for each project on which she
works, and now she has a consistent workflow for analyzing the results.

Panel Schedules
The ability to create custom Panel schedules was a long-awaited feature that
was introduced into Revit MEP 2011. They are not created by using the
scheduling tools but instead are generated by a predefined format residing
in a panel-schedule template. There are tools to create a panel schedule
