MEP engineers step up

摘要

MEP engineers are no longer an afterthought in building design. The push for green buildings has thrust MEP engineers into the limelight, and getting involved early in the design process is a must. These days, sustainable design and the drive for low-energy buildings has encouraged many owners and designers to examine the impact of all resource-consuming systems, with particular attention to those within the MEP engineer's sphere of influence. Now placed into a position as early influencers of design and then placed into the ongoing role of technical interpreter, MEP engineers must share their knowledge of systems in an accessible manner to ensure that key decisions are made at the appropriate time.
