An embedded schedule in Revit MEP allows you to create for an example a space schedule and embed the air

terminal parameters in your space schedule. With embedded schedules, we can have space, rooms, electrical,

air, piping, plumbing, or fire protection systems and associate other type of

object parameters together. For our example, we will use a space schedule

and embed an air terminal schedule.

I. Creating a Schedule

a. Select the Schedule/Quantity icon on the design bar or select

view – new - Schedule/Quantity to create a

schedule.

b. Select Spaces under Category and name your schedule, I will

use Space Schedule Embedded for my example.

c. Select OK

d. From Available fields select; Name, Number, Level, and

Calculated Supply Airflow. I will place them as follows: Level,

Number, Name and Calculated Supply Airflow.

e. Select the Sorting tab and select Sort by; Level. This will list

the level in order.

We are finished with our main schedule, now we will

create the embedded schedule.
