Antonio Rodriguez, P.E., in collaboration with JB&B, recently wrote an article on how designers are using IMMERSIFY, a virtual reality (VR)-based software developed at LERA that works in tandem with Revit, Rhino and other 3D and BIM software, to transform the way that they design mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems.



Maura Candelaria, JB&B's Director of BIM, stated, "Virtual reality has allowed JB&B to distinguish itself from the competition while significantly enhancing its client services. With VR, we can ‘virtually’ inhabit the building before it’s even built, and anticipate possible construction issues."


Jeff Arcara, Associate at JB&B, explained, "We’re still exploring the range of possibilities that IMMERSIFY presents, but we see great potential in it as a training tool for new engineers. Sometimes people new to the field lose sight of the ‘big picture,’ of just how grand the scale of what we are designing can be. IMMERSIFY lets you get familiar with what you’re designing early on, which ultimately makes for better designs and fewer problems during construction."

Antonio Rodriguez's article highlights how VR is reshaping MEP design by improving collaboration, reducing errors, and streamlining project visualization. VR allows engineers to interact with 3D models in real time, enhancing both efficiency and accuracy. As technology plays a bigger role in design processes, companies like DTS provide the IT infrastructure and support to integrate such innovations seamlessly, ensuring smooth operations and greater productivity in tech-driven industries.
