COVER STORY MEP Engineering Best Guidelines to Maintain Appropriate Air Conditioning and Heating Conditions 20 May-June issue l 2021 www.africasurveyorsonline.com
MEP ENGINEERING Engineers, more often than not, follow what their client wants. If a client has a certain kind of a place or need a certain kind of installation, the client will usually say so. As such, it is quite common that the clients are also the ones who will be deciding what kind of installation they would like to have. When this happens, the engineer follows the client. MEP Engineering is all about understanding the needs of the client and designing products to meet those needs. Maintaining a customer's requirements is the essence of MEP Engineering. This is why most of the engineers around the world to follow some sort of format of meetings with the client to discuss their ideas, needs and issues. Here, all the engineers will present their findings and give an opinion on how to improve the product based on the ideas presented. MEP engineering is basically the application of scientific principles to build and design Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing Systems of a structure. Generally, all the engineers will be working together in a team environment to come up with the best solution for a given client's needs. This is why most of the engineers will seek-out to work for different clients, as they develop a good working relationship. They will be using the same source material, for example, when designing electrical heating and cooling systems. All the same, there will be an individual responsible for coming up with the final spec, which is called a 'blue print' for the particular project. An example of the use of this technique can be witnessed in the way the engineer designs a ventilation system inside a space that needs to be conditioned. When designing this ventilation system, the engineer first evaluates the amount of natural ventilation available, the temperature outside, the size of the area to be conditioned, as well as the size of the ventilation opening. From the data obtained, the mechanical engineer then comes up with the right set of specifications to satisfy the client's needs. There are many other uses of MEP engineering, and all these examples serve to illustrate the principle of its application. However, it should also be kept in mind that the process is used by many other professionals apart from engineers and construction experts. These include water conservation engineers, structural engineers, water managers, environmental consultants, and fire protection engineers. When it comes to water conservation, this MEP engineering concept proves extremely useful as it helps in determining how much of an area has to be conditioned so as to keep the water levels within the designated limit. For fire protection, the engineer determines the maximum allowable temperatures to establish a set of standards, which need to be followed in order to have safe and effective space heating and air conditioning systems. All the mentioned MEP concepts are made possible by use of the latest space heating and air conditioning technology. With all these benefits, it is not surprising why MEPs are gaining more popularity day by day among various construction professionals. Hence, it would certainly be in your best interests to hire the services of a qualified M EP Engineering firm for the betterment of your building.
