3 DUCTWORK MODELS

3.1 Model workflow

One of the principle aims of BIM-MEPAUS is to enable efficient Design to As-Built BIM workflows that see the

design model progressively developed through the design, virtual build and construction process to ultimately

deliver a completed As-built Model to the client.

The standard also supports the Design to Fabrication workflow that sees the Revit ductwork construction model

converted to either a Fabrication ITM Model or exported directly to MAJ file format for pricing and manufacture.

A key step in both workflows is the virtual build that sees the design ductwork services developed to a fully

coordinated constructible layout prior to issue for fabrication. This construction model is also used to drive site

layout, procurement and installation scheduling activities as well as commissioning BIM to field processes.

3.2 System schematics

Prior to modelling commencing, ducting system design should start with the development of the system schematics,

compartmentation and functional control strategies. These are key to conveying the design intent and are also the

starting point for the modelling of the ductwork layouts.

Best practice air side schematics convey the system architecture and include:

Building Levels / Compartmentation

Smoke and fire rated walls

Duct sizes and design air flows

Monitoring and control strategies

Pressure Zones within the system.

The BIM-MEPAUS template is not intended to generate the schematic from the design model and it is envisaged that

schematics will continue to be prepared in AutoCAD for the foreseeable future.

3.3 Services coordination plan

Prior to modelling commencing, the services coordination plan should be documented using constructible level

ductwork and piping elements and fittings to resolve:

The services zones

The clash avoidance rules that govern which services give way under various clash scenarios.

The services coordination plan should be included in all services packages and form a key deliverable of schematic

design phase independent of any LOD definition deliverable.

BIM-MEPAUS Page 4 June 2016

3.4 Design ductwork model

The BIM-MEPAUS Revit® Template add-in allows engineers and modellers to design and specify systems using

constructible Revit family based ducting services that incorporate relevant Australian standards and industry based

manufacturing practices.

BIM-MEPAUS design ductwork models nominate both the system and required ductwork service and specification

and are typically modelled in BIM-MEPAUS constructible Revit families that are built to match the corresponding BIM-

MEPAUS Revit Fabrication Parts.

The use of BIM-MEPAUS constructible services allows a range of engineering calculations and checks to be

completed with greater accuracy. The aim is to support the following engineering tasks:

System air flow rate calculations

Air velocity checks

Estimated static pressure losses

System specification checks.

3.5 Construction ductwork model

BIM-MEPAUS construction models provide construction level detailing using Revit Fabrication Parts and

manufacturer certified content.

The virtual build of the design model to create the LOD 400 construction model delivers a model that is fully

designated in terms of system type, service and specification. When read in conjunction with the duct fabricator’s

manufacturing specifications the model should provide sufficient detail for approval submissions.

The virtual build typically involves a number of tasks:

Changing-out of the design content with manufacturer’s certified content for end of line plant and

equipment such as fan coil units and fans, etc

Conversion of the ductwork system modelled in Revit family based service into Revit Fabrication Parts

based services.

Value Engineering to optimise the most cost effective service and layout within specification

Checking costs against original estimates and/or budget

Final services coordination and routing

System engineering checks including pressure loss and ductwork leakage calculations for fan selections

Piece marking and fabrication.

Once the construction model is finalized and approved, the Revit Fabrication Parts ductwork model can be exported

in MAJ file format to ductwork manufacturers or converted to a Fabrication model for further development including:

Ductwork reinforcement optimisation

Value engineering based on accurate Fabrication ESTmep costing data.

3.6 As-built ductwork model

Once the installation is completed any site changes can be used to finalise the As Built model for provision to the

client.

BIM-MEPAUS Page 5 June 2016

4 DUCTWORK SPECIFICATIONS

4.1 Ductwork standards

BIM-MEPAUS sheet metal ductwork services are generally based on AS 4254.2 - 2012 and AS 1668.1 - 2015

4.2 Ductwork sizes

All ductwork sizes are based on hard metric and are nominated as Top Plan View - Width X Depth X Length.

BIM-MEPAUS ductwork dimensions are based on sheet metal size that for plain or externally insulated ductwork is

airway size. For internally lined duct it is necessary to deduct the lining thickness to arrive at the airway size.

4.3 Ductwork materials

Galvanised sheet metal is based on G2 carbon steel with GZ-275 hot dip galvanised finish with the following gauges

used 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.6mm and 2.0mm.

Perforated metal is based on G2 carbon steel with GZ-275 hot dip galvanised finish 0.6mm gauge 2.33mm hole

diameter providing a percentage open area of 11%.

Alterative metal specifications comprise stainless steel 304L, stainless steel 316L and aluminum.

4.4 Pressure ratings

Australian Standard AS 4252 Ductwork for air handling systems in buildings lists a series of pressure classes from

125Pa through to 2500Pa. BIM-MEPAUS uses a simplified pressure rating framework:

Designation Pressure Rating

LP ≤ 500 Pa

HP ≤ 1000Pa

For pressures higher than 1000Pa, designate ductwork pressure in accordance with AS4254 - 2012 Table 2.2.1

Ductwork Pressure Rating Schedule.

4.5 Design parameters

The following metric design units and coefficients are used:

Airflow L/s

Airflow Velocity m/s

Loss Coefficient Kv values based on ASHRAE Data

Through the use of these parameters, Revit is able to provide air flows and estimated system pressure loses.

4.6 Air leakage

Air leakage must be accounted for when determining the required fan capacity.

For a given ductwork fabrication standard, air leakage is a function of system operating pressure and system surface

area. The air leakage calculation methods and acceptance criteria provided by ASHRAE, SMACNA or BSRIA codes

are based on pressure and system surface area, not system airflow and are the preferred basis for system leakage

calculations, testing and acceptance.

All BIM-MEPAUS ductwork specifications incorporate Class A sealing.

5 SYSTEMS, SERVICES AND SPECIFICATIONS

5.1 Systems, services and specifications

A key feature of the BIM-MEPAUS approach to ductwork modelling is the use of defined ductwork systems,

services and specifications. This approach draws from both the Revit approach to system modelling and the

Fabrication approach to shop drawing and manufacturing and is key to realising the full potential of constructible

Revit to Fabrication workflows:

Systems define the type of reticulation system: Supply Air System, Smoke Spill System, Clean Air System, etc.

Services set the ductwork type and routing preferences for a particular system.

Specifications detail the fabrication standards and details for the ductwork service.

In BIM-MEPAUS the system and service must be selected to model the system and specify the required ducting type

ie Toilet Exhaust – Low Pressure.

Within AS 4254.2 2012 it is permitted to optimize the ductwork sheet metal specification gauge and reinforcing

combination to achieve compliance through either deemed to satisfy or evidence based compliance methods. The

details in relation to reinforcement methods should be determined from the ductwork manufacturer’s specifications.

5.2 Service types

There are two types of ductwork services:

Design services provided with the BIM-MEPAUS Revit MEP template add-in using Revit Families

Fabricator services built from BIM-MEPAUS Revit Fabrication Parts.

The BIM-MEPAUS ductwork service naming convention syntax comprises:

Author_System_Service

Design Services

The BIM-MEPAUS template add-in provides one or more defined AS 4254.2 compliant family based services for

each system type.

For example, for supply air there are two standard BIM-MEPAUS services:

BMA_SA_LP

BMA_SA_HP

The full range of systems and services available in the template are listed in the BIM-MEPAUS Airside Systems,

Plant and Equipment Schedule.

Fabricator Services

Fabricator services are fully routed BIM-MEPAUS Revit Fabrication Part based services with enhanced features that

support shop drawing modelling and MAJ file format conversion.

7 DUCTWORK SPECIFICATIONS

Ductwork services are based on a limited range of ductwork specifications in order to reduce the complexity of

modelling and manufacturing workflows and associated embedded cost burdens.

Galvanised ductwork (Class A Sealed)

Service Designation Service Description

LP Low Pressure ≤ 500 Pa

HP High Pressure ≤ 1000 Pa

KE Kitchen Exhaust (LP) Minimum 1.2mm Gauge

CA Clean Room (HP) , Factory cleaned and sealed

prior to delivery

FR Fire Resistant (Low Pressure), strengthened for

fire wrap /spray

SD Sub duct

Stainless steel and aluminum ductwork

Service Designation Service Description

304 Stainless Steel 304L (Low Pressure)

KE304 Kitchen Exhaust Stainless Steel 304L min

thickness 0.9mm (Low Pressure)

316 Stainless Steel 316L (Low Pressure)

ALU Aluminum (Low Pressure)

Commentary

I. The majority of services use low pressure Class A sealed ductwork. Class A sealing has been

traditionally provided only for toilet exhaust, clean air and high pressure systems, however the

sealing of the longitudinal seam has been shown to be effective in reducing total system leakage,

an important determinate in overall system energy use, as well as greatly simplifying modelling

and manufacturing standards and processes.

II. Stainless steel ductwork is generally specified as 304L being the more economical of the two

stainless steel options. For harsh environments such as coastal locations, marine grade 316L

stainless may be specified due to its substantially better corrosion resistance. The cost difference

between 304L and 316L is typically of the order of 25-30%.
