Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing

Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems are crucial components of a building and can serve various purposes. They must meet various standards for design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
Mechanical systems in particular refer to pieces of infrastructure, industrial equipment and machinery, lifts and escalators, and other transportation systems. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are a commonly used example of a mechanical system. In buildings, heating, ventilation and air conditioning can be used to:

• Ensure interior air quality is high

• Regulate interior temperatures

• Reduce interior humidity levels

An electrical system is composed of hardware such as poles, transformers, overheads and subterranean power lines. A few examples of the uses of electrical systems include:

• Distribution and delivery of electricity

• Information and communication systems

• Command systems

• Access controls and security

• Alarm and detection devices

Plumbing is any system that permits the flow of fluids, often involving pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks and other equipment. Plumbing systems are used for:

• Air conditioning and heating

• Waste management

• Hot and cold water source

• Water recovery and treatment

• Surface and subsurface water drainage

• Fuel and gas pipes
