Presentation Transcript

  1. MEP design Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing

  2. Often separate consultants Can be separate even within a single firm Often performed on a design-build basis (no drawings)

  3. Mechanical Basic system function: Temperature conditioner (heat or cool) Heat exchanger (fan+coil, radiator) Package units Split systems (condenser/furnace + fan coil unit) Piped water (radiator/fan coil + chiller/boiler)

  4. Mechanical Cooling systems: Forced air only Ventilation “Air Conditioning” (Refrigeration) – how does it work? Where does the heat go?

  5. Mechanical Heating systems: Hot water gas boiler w/flue electric boiler radiator

  6. Mechanical Heating systems: Hot water Radiant Flooring (heating & cooling)

  7. Mechanical Heating systems: Forced air gas furnace w/flue Fan + coil

  8. Mechanical Heating systems: Forced air Heat pump Why heat pumps don’t work in cold climates

  9. Mechanical Ducting: Supply & Return Register types & locations Size & noise Rectangular vs Spiral Fresh air intake Exhaust (equipment rooms, restrooms)

  10. Mechanical Equipment location (100’ refrigerant line, insulated) Vibration & Noise

  11. Mechanical Sustainability Design for climate Building orientation Overhangs / exterior shading Thermal Mass Ventilation Evaporative cooling

  12. Mechanical Title 24 Insulation (wall, floor, roof) R-value Insulated glazing

  13. Mechanical Typical mechanical plan

  14. Electrical Power: transformers, conduit (flex & EMT) Phone: punch block, PBX Data: switches, routers, servers Heat exhaust

  15. Electrical Typical power plan

  16. Electrical Lighting Reflected ceiling plans Title 24 Fluorescent vs. Incandescent Line voltage vs. low voltage (remote ballasts)

  17. Electrical Typical RCP

  18. Plumbing Hot & cold water (gas boiler + flue or electric) Tankless systems Vents – code at roof Drains Utility connection (sewer, storm drains, inverts)
