About this app
Engineering On Demand is a powerful Revit plugin designed to put architects back in the driver's seat by providing instant feedback on HVAC space requirements. This innovative tool generates a separate HVAC model based on the architect's design, allowing for the easy placement and manipulation of HVAC space requirements within the architectural model. With the ability to re-run the plugin as the project evolves, architects can quickly adapt to changes and ensure that the building's mechanical room requirements are met without any surprises.
Streamlining Design Communication
One of the standout features of Engineering On Demand is its ability to foster better communication between architects and engineers. By providing architects with instant feedback on HVAC space requirements, the plugin enables them to make informed decisions about the placement and sizing of mechanical rooms within the building. This not only helps architects to better understand the impact of their design choices but also allows engineers to make any necessary modifications using Ripple's HVAC Toolkit.
With Engineering On Demand, architects can be confident that the HVAC space requirements are being met from the early stages of the design process, leading to a smoother and quicker design process overall. By using Ripple's HVAC manufacturers as the basis of design, architects can rest assured that the equipment specified in the model is of the highest quality and can still be bid on, eliminating any potential issues down the line.

Enhancing Collaboration with Engineers
Another key benefit of Engineering On Demand is the partner program that allows individual assumptions to be modified by the engineer of record. This feature ensures that engineers have full control over the HVAC requirements and can make any necessary adjustments to meet the project's specific needs. By empowering engineers to modify assumptions and make changes as needed, the plugin encourages collaboration between architects and engineers, leading to a more cohesive and efficient design process.
Furthermore, by providing engineers with an account with Ripple, Engineering On Demand facilitates seamless communication between all parties involved in the design process. This level of integration ensures that everyone is on the same page and can work together to achieve the best possible outcomes for the project.
