In our first season 5 audio episode of the Electrical Building Design Show, we’re joined by Kevin Lawson, PE, founder of Ripple, for a practical conversation on where automation in MEP actually stands today.

We dive into:

• HVAC automation and its real-world impact

• AI workflows in Revit (what’s useful vs. what’s noise)

• Why mechanical design often sets the direction for the entire building

• What automation really means for the future of MEP design

No buzzwords, no overpromising, just an honest discussion about what’s working, what isn’t, and where things are headed.

Join us if you’re interested in the intersection of engineering, automation, and design workflows that actually save time.

The next episode will be released on February 16th.

First-time AU attendee Dave Fetzer (SSOE) joins the Electrical Building Design Show to unpack what made Autodesk University truly eye-opening for him this year, from AI in Revit and interesting exhibitors to the meetups shaping BIM strategy.

We also discuss how his team approaches automation in real projects (hint: it’s not about replacing engineers).

Curious what surprised him most, and what he’s bringing back to the office?

Autodesk has introduced new wire sizing features in Revit 2026, but how do they really compare to ElectroBIM?

In this episode of the Electrical Building Design Show, David Robison walks through conductor settings, cable types, and wire sizing rules to see what’s new, what’s missing, and where ElectroBIM makes the difference.

If you’re curious about which tool goes beyond parameters to deliver real-world electrical design calculations, this is the breakdown you’ll want to hear about.
