Design Considerations: Logistical Factors<br />
Installation of Mechanical <strong>Systems</strong><br />
Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC:<br />
Is it necessary or desirable to contain mechanical<br />
systems <strong>with</strong>in the floor/ceiling envelope (due to building<br />
height restrictions, basement headroom, etc.)<br />
Is it necessary or desirable to frame bulkheads for duct<br />
runs (may also be a design element)<br />
Is the construction schedule impacted by mechanical<br />
systems installation time<br />
Is there likelihood of error when joists are altered to allow<br />
mechanical systems penetrations<br />
Do MEP requirements and fixture placement dictate joist<br />
depth and spacing
