Revit MEP supports key aspects of sustainable design by facilitating complex processes and analyses. Users have the ability to calculate heating and cooling loads directly using the Integrated Environmental Solutions (or IES) engine. Additionally, Revit supports export to gbXML for use in the IES energy and heat load analysis applications. MEP engineers can use the information created in their computable Revit MEP building information model to test the performance of their design, eliminating the time-consuming task of transferring data manually.
These tables show where Revit MEP, the IES LEED/Sustainability Toolkit, and the IES <Virtual Environment> can help with LEED documentation and calculations*.


Revit MEP allows you to perform quick and accurate quantity and area takeoffs of your project to assist with documentation, while the IES <VE> Toolkit will help with energy and sustainability calculations for applicable LEED credits.
