Here’s a conceptual for integrating AAON heating/cooling equipment data into Revit :
AAON provides digital resources for BIM integration, though the delivery method has evolved over the years. Engineers can typically access these files in two ways:
Generic Revit families (placeholder air handlers or chillers) are useful for schematic design, but they fall short during the Design Development (DD) and Construction Document (CD) phases. AAON equipment is highly configurable; units vary drastically in dimensions, connection sizes, and service access based on specific components like coils, heat recovery wheels, and fan types. aaon revit
A common challenge for engineers is bridging the gap between AAON’s proprietary selection software (used for performance sizing) and Revit (used for modeling).
: In your Revit project, go to the Insert tab and click Load Family . A common challenge for engineers is bridging the
: If a specific configuration is not available in the standard Revit library, you should contact your local AAON Representative to request a custom-generated Revit file based on your ECat selection. 4. Technical Support and Documentation
: Once loaded, use the Properties palette to toggle between configurations such as: Economizer Power Exhaust / Power Return Energy Recovery Wheel and C Cabinets
Includes A, B, and C Cabinets, as well as Next Gen horizontal configurations for D and E Cabinets.
