The course project
Optional practice that ends in the kind of job the course prepares you for, with the documents that go with it.
About 20 hours
Hospital surgical floor in Revit MEP: panels, IPS, fire alarm and a clash report
Model and document the electrical services for one floor of a 300-bed hospital in Nairobi: normal, essential and UPS lighting and power, isolated power for four operating theatres and an ICU, the fire alarm interface and the cable containment, coordinated against the linked mechanical and plumbing models. You deliver the Revit model, your own panel schedules and load list, the sheet set and your own clash report. The sample pack shows what an MEP consultant issues at coordination.

FAQ
Common questions
Is Revit used for electrical design?
Yes: Revit is used to model building electrical systems, circuit them to panels and produce the panel schedules that go on the drawings. Autodesk's Revit 2026 help says that for electrical systems, panel schedules display information about the panel, the circuits connected to the panel and their corresponding loads. It is BIM for buildings rather than a schematic tool for machine control panels, which is where AutoCAD Electrical is used. This course covers electrical families, circuiting, panel schedules, lighting plans, cable trays and one-line diagrams in Revit.
Can Revit calculate electrical loads and demand factors?
Yes: Revit calculates a demand load once a demand factor is set for an electrical device or panel. Autodesk's Revit 2026 help explains that demand factors adjust the rating of a building's main service because not all equipment draws its full rated load at the same time, and that they can be set for lighting, power, HVAC or other systems. Autodesk also says building codes determine what values to use, so the engineer enters factors from the local code rather than relying on defaults. The course includes panel schedules and load calculations.
Is Revit free?
Autodesk education licences are free for students and educators; a 30-day trial covers the course otherwise.
Revit MEP or AutoCAD Electrical?
Revit is BIM for buildings (consultants, contractors); AutoCAD Electrical is schematics for panels and machines. Both have courses here.
Does it cover HVAC and plumbing too?
Yes. The core is electrical, with HVAC, plumbing and fire-protection modules so you can coordinate with the other disciplines.
Is the Revit MEP course really free?
Yes. Every module, practice task and assessment. You create an account so your progress is saved and the assessments can be marked. The certificate is the only paid item, and only if you want it.
What certificate do I get, and is it a vendor qualification?
An EDWartens Certificate of Completion, issued when you pass the final assessment, with a verification code anyone can check. It is not a vendor credential and is never described as one.
Who made the video lessons in the Revit MEP course?
The creators named in the Credits block at the foot of this page, on their own YouTube channels. EDWartens did not make the videos and the creators are not affiliated with EDWartens. What EDWartens wrote is the study plan, the notes, the practice tasks and the assessments.
How long does the Revit MEP course take?
Plan on about 37 hours in all, including the video lessons, notes and practice tasks. It is self-paced, so you work through the fourteen modules at your own speed.
Is the Revit MEP course free in India, and what does the certificate cost?
Yes. Learning costs ₹0 in India: every module, the written notes, the practice tasks and the final assessment, with no card and no trial period. The only paid item is the optional EDWartens Certificate of Completion, ₹499 including GST for this beginner course, paid in rupees through Razorpay, and only if you want it after passing the final assessment.
