A key component of Taco’s success is its commitment to leading the HVAC industry in technological innovation and new product development. The company’s current product offering includes energy-efficient heat exchangers, expansion tanks, zone control products, and more. has provided clients in the residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional building industries with high-quality, hydronic-based components for use in heating and cooling applications. “This approach demanded constant communication among the disciplines,” says Scott Robbins, project manager at Vanderweil. The contractor, Bovis Lend Lease, participated throughout the entire design process. KlingStubbins used Revit ® Architecture software. Vanderweil and KlingStubbins, the building architect, delivered the project using a design- assist variant of integrated project delivery (IPD). Program goals on the fast-track project included LEED ® Silver sustain- able design certification and a 20-percent reduction in energy consumption. In 2009, Vanderweil incorporated Taco models into the design of a complex, 185,000-square-foot office and laboratory building for a Massachusetts-based biopharmaceutical manufacturer. One engineering firm using Revit MEP in con- junction with the new Taco product models is Vanderweil, a Boston-based company specializing in designing sustainable MEP systems.
To ensure full compatibility with Revit MEP and the complementary Revit ® platform products, Revit ® Architecture and Revit ® Structure software, Taco adhered closely to Revit ® Model Style Guide. Using the powerful parametric search engine in Seek, users can search for Taco products in a number of ways, including by manufacturer name, product type, or performance criteria. “Now they can insert a product model in minutes.” MEP Engineers can download the Taco models from the Seek web service when they need them most-during an active Revit MEP design session. “With help from the Taco models, MEP engineers don’t have to spend hours drawing a single piece of equipment,” says Chris Wilson, director of engineering services for Emerson-Swan, the manufacturer’s representative for Taco products. In the past, when MEP engineers wanted to incorporate Taco products into a design, they had to draw the product models from scratch, wasting valuable time and risking design errors.
