Explaining MEP Coordination Services
There are a lot of factors that come into play when you’re constructing a new commercial building. Whether you’re operating at a large or small scale or renovating your existing building, ensuring energy efficiency and quality system synergy is easy with MEP coordination services.
The Role of an MEP Coordinator
An MEP coordinator is responsible for identifying and solving potential architecture and structure clash detections for the construction and renovation of commercial buildings. MEP coordinators specialize in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing building system designs and fundamental factors of commercial buildings. They also strive to reduce the building’s operational costs, minimize downtime, prevent building system clashes, and find ways to improve energy efficiency.
MEP engineering professionals focus on:
- Mechanical Systems: This includes heating and cooling systems, such as mechanical HVAC.
- Electrical Systems: Panels, switchboards, and cable trays fall under this category.
- Plumbing Systems: This includes water holding systems, pumps, and sand traps.
- Fire Safety Systems: Smoke curtains, piping systems, and fire sprinkler systems are included in this category.
- Outside of Building: Outside building services include roofing systems and other external building systems.
Explaining MEP Work in Construction
Neglecting to consult with an MEP system professional before commercial building construction has a variety of negative impacts, such as increased operating costs and energy use. But advising with an engineering expert on MEP work in construction gives you a wide range of building system benefits, including:
- Enhanced Employee Comfort
- It’s common for MEP coordinators to find processes to improve air control systems. This results in higher indoor air quality and the alleviation of any concerns your staff may have.
- Improved Building Operations
- MEP coordination services reduce maintenance calls, which lowers your maintenance costs and affects your ROI.
- Reduced Operating Costs and Decreased Energy Consumption
- The shelf life of equipment is extended.
- Failed or malfunctioning equipment is replaced.
- Solutions for systematic building operation issues are created.
- Excessive equipment run times due to changes in occupancy or space usage are eliminated.
- Control sequences are optimized.
MEP Work in Construction Benefits
MEP work in construction ensures that there are no clashes in the MEP design of the building. Throughout the clash detection process, the building’s architect and engineer work together to redesign the building plans and restructure the design of collided system elements. Once the coordination drawing is revamped, the new MEP design is updated, saving designers and engineers from repeatedly updating designs.
MEP work in construction is also beneficial for retrofit and renovation building projects. With a variety of technology advancements and software available, engineers can collect existing, accurate infrastructure data for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing improvements.
Overall, MEP coordination services give you broad flexibility, scalability, faster construction turnarounds, and access to revolutionary building system resources.
