Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) refers to these aspects of building design and construction. Commercial buildings often design with these elements by a specialized engineering firm. MEP design is important for planning, decision making, accurate documentation, performance- and cost estimation, construction, and operating/maintaining the resulting facilities. Techsol Services Pvt Ltd is the leading MEP Solutions Provider in Pune and offers the best MEP Services in Pune, Maharashtra.
Mechanical Works In Mep For A Commercial Project
Various types of mechanical systems are used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
However, three types account for most of the mechanical design work in multifamily and commercial constructions:
1) Space heating
2) Air conditioning
3) Mechanical ventilation
Electrical Works In Mep For A Building Project
One of the main challenges in electrical design in high-rise constructions is defining the optimal routes for conduit and wiring. However, there tend to be more flexible than mechanical systems, since electrical circuits require much less space and can be routed around obstacles more easily. With the aid of MEP design software, conduit and wiring can be laid out while minimizing total circuit lengths, and avoiding location conflicts with mechanical and plumbing installations.
Plumbing Works In Mep For A Building Project
Plumbing is any system that allows the movement of fluids, typically involving pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatus.
Just like mechanical and electrical installations, plumbing requires laying out complex piping routes, and MEP design software is widely used by engineering firms to simplify the process.
Plumbing installations interact with both mechanical and electrical systems at many points, which emphasizes the importance of collaboration among design teams:
1) High-rise buildings typically need water booster pumps, which run with electricity.
2) Domestic hot water systems typically get their heat through one of the following configurations: a dedicated boiler, a heat exchanger connected to a space heating boiler, or an electric heater (a conventional resistance heater or a heat pump).
"Class A" Building Definition
According to the Building Owners and Managers Association International, “Class A” buildings are the “most prestigious buildings competing for premier office users with rents above average for the area. Buildings have high quality standard finishes, state of the art systems, exceptional accessibility and a definite market presence.
The LEED System is designed to rate new and existing commercial, environmental, institutional and high-rise residential buildings for environmental performance from a “whole building” perspective over a building’s lifecycle.
