We hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy during these unique times. We are here today with our newsletter on Mechanical (HVAC), Electrical & Plumbing System Plans. The occupants of Commercial establishments as well as Residential buildings can benefit a great deal from having a well designed MEP system in place as this is crucial for ensuring an uninterrupted, comfortable and seamless building functionality.
Why is MEP engineering required?
For medium to large sized residential buildings and for most commercial construction, the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing aspects of the building design are often required to be designed by licensed MEP engineers. It is important to have an appropriate integrated system designed which focuses on safety, system efficiency, potential cost reduction, ease of system operations & maintenance, functional needs of the occupants, as well as the Architect’s vision for the building.
