MEP BIM is considered as a Model-based design that provides an efficient approach for establishing a common framework for communication throughout the design process while supporting the development cycle. In the model-based design of control systems, development is manifested in these four steps1. Modeling, analyzing, and synthesizing a controller for the projects, simulating the project, integrating all these phases by deploying the controller.

The model-based design is significantly different from the traditional design methodology. designers can use Model-based design to define the BIM models with advanced functional characteristics using discrete-time, MEP Component. These built models used with simulation tools can lead to rapid prototyping, software testing, and verification. Not only is the testing and verification process enhanced with the new design paradigm to perform testing of dynamic effects on the system more quickly and much more efficiently than with traditional design methodology.
