How\u2019s the lighting in your area of the building? How about the temperature? Does it strike the right balance between \u201cnot too hot\u201d and \u201cnot too cold\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>These are just some of the ways MEP helps provide a balanced internal environment and a comfortable space for occupants. Of course, proper MEP design doesn\u2019t just benefit the building occupants \u2014 it also benefits the environment by reducing a building\u2019s energy footprint, and decreasing carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Given the importance of MEP, Autodesk has forged strategic business relationships with global providers who can extend the functionality of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/revit-family\/overview\" target=\"_blank\">Autodesk Revit<\/a> building design software to provide a full MEP solution tailored to the needs of specific markets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>NYK Systems, <\/strong>based in Japan, develops a product named Rebro that is targeted at contractors and specializes in detailing, construction modeling, and documentation.
