Existing buildings · Defined
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP)
The building systems associated with environmental conditioning, electrical distribution, and water supply and drainage.
Why it matters
Their interfaces influence both construction sequencing and operating performance. A coordinated design and completed installation still need appropriate startup and testing.
In practice
A project example
A mechanical unit is delivered, but the available electrical service does not match its requirements.
