Flawless mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems design is crucial to optimising these parameters. The MEP design services must include drawings that are spatially coordinated and detailed, and they must satisfy all government regulations for design, installation, operation and maintenance. <\/p>\n<h5><span>1.<\/span> Mechanical<\/h5>\n<p>Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems fall under the mechanical branch of MEP engineering design, along with lifts, escalators, plant rooms and machinery. HVAC systems in offices must:<\/p>\n<div class=\"gap_50_top_dummy_class \"><\/div>\n<div class=\"textwidget text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Maintain air quality<\/li>\n<li>Maintain internal temperatures<\/li>\n<li>Control air humidity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h5><span>2. <\/span> Green Building<\/h5>\n<p> A green office building roof supports storm water management and reduces building energy use. Improved daylighting, LED fixtures and occupancy sensors can lead to reduced artificial lighting. Other features include the following:  <\/p>\n<div class=\"textwidget text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Solar-powered building heating systems<\/li>\n<li>Cooling systems for buildings<\/li>\n<li>Greywater recycling<\/li>\n<li>Sustainable urban drainage systems<\/li>\n<li>Rainwater harvesting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h5><span>3. <\/span> Fire Design<\/h5>\n<p> Office fire safety objectives include minimising risks from heat and smoke, protecting office property, maintaining office functioning and minimising environmental pollution. Design requirements for fire safety include: <\/p>\n<div class=\"textwidget text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Controlling ignition and fuel sources<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring occupants are informed of fire<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring active fire systems are triggered<\/li>\n<li>Clear escape route for building occupants<\/li>\n<li>Containing fire to the smallest possible area<\/li>\n<li>Extinguishing fire quickly and with minimal damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h5><span>4. <\/span> Coworking Spaces<\/h5>\n<p> Coworking spaces are office environments shared between different companies, enabling cost savings. Equipment, utilities, etc. are used commonly. Coworking helps individuals avoid feeling isolated while telecommuting, travelling or working from home. For a flexible space, design needs to include: <\/p>\n<div class=\"textwidget text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Frequent electrical outlets, on walls, hanging from ceilings or on the floor<\/li>\n<li>Several audio-visual spaces<\/li>\n<li>Adjustable lighting<\/li>\n<li>Sound-proofed office walls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h5><span>5. <\/span>Electrical<\/h5>\n<p>Electrical systems form the crux of MEP services in offices, and they can include:<\/p>\n<div class=\"textwidget text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Power supply and distribution<\/li>\n<li>Information and telecommunications systems<\/li>\n<li>Security and access systems<\/li>\n<li>Detection and alarm systems<\/li>\n<li>Interior and exterior lighting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h5><span>6. <\/span> Plumbing<\/h5>\n<p>Office plumbing systems allow the movement of fluids, involving pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, etc. They can also be used for:<\/p>\n<div class=\"textwidget text\">\n<ul>\n<li>Heating and cooling<\/li>\n<li>Waste removal<\/li>\n<li>Potable cold and hot water supply<\/li>\n<li>Water recovery and treatment systems<\/li>\n<li>Rainwater, surface and subsurface water drainage<\/li>\n<li>Fuel gas piping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p> Using Building Information Modelling (BIM), MEP engineers design, modify and collaborate with vital MEP design data as part of a highly efficient design process with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axiumglobal.com\/articles\/the-difference-between-building-engineering-consultants-contractors\/\">BIM MEP services<\/a>, resulting in fewer on-site challenges. <\/p>\n<h5> Infographic<\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin-top:20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.axiumglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mep-design-for-office-infographic.jpg\" alt=\"mep-design-for-office\" style=\"float:left;
