FAQs
What does MEP engineering include?
MEP engineering covers three core building systems:
Mechanical – HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system design and implementation.
Electrical – Power distribution, lighting, fire alarm systems, and backup power solutions.
Plumbing – Water supply, drainage, gas piping, and fire suppression systems.
Why is MEP engineering important in construction?
MEP engineering ensures that buildings are safe, efficient, and comfortable for occupants. It also helps optimize energy consumption, reduce operational costs, and comply with safety regulations.
What industries require MEP engineering services?
MEP engineering is essential for various sectors, including:
✅ Residential & Commercial Buildings
✅ Industrial Facilities
