These three technical disciplines encompass the systems that make building interiors suitable for human occupancy. MEP installations are addressed together due to  \nthe high degree of interaction between them, and also to avoid conflicts in equipment locations - a common problem when electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems are designed in isolation.  \nWorking with qualified MEP engineering companies brings many advantages: installation costs are reduced by optimizing material requirements, while achieving high performance and code compliance. This is very valuable in New York City, where building ownership costs are very high and construction codes are very demanding.  \nIn addition to the NYC Building Code, there is a dedicated code for each of the three MEP fields:  \nï NYC Mechanical Code  \n• NYC Electrical Code  \n• NYC Plumbing Code  \nKeep in mind that additional codes apply. For example, the NYC Energy Conservation Code has requirements that affect all MEP systems, and any building system with combustion appliances must adhere to the NYC Fuel Gas Code.  \nGiven the complexity of MEP systems, modern engineering consulting firms use software to speed up the design process. Simple and repetitive tasks are automated by a computer, while MEP design engineers can focus on taking the best decisions.  \nBefore proceeding with any project that involves MEP installations in NYC, keep in mind that there are licensing requirements for both design professionals and installation contractors. Only a Registered Design Professional (RDP) can get MEP designs approved with the NYC Department of Buildings, and only licensed contractors can get work permits.  \nM: Mechanical Engineering  \nVarious types of mechanical systems are used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. However, three types account for most of the mechanical design work in multifamily and commercial constructions:  \n• Space heating ï Air conditioning  \nï Mechanical ventilation  \nThese systems interact to keep temperature and humidity within a range that provides comfort and health. Mechanical ventilation also ensures that enough fresh air is supplied to keep pollutant concentrations at low and safe levels.  \nMechanical installations operate at their best when equipment capacity is adequate; contrary to popular belief, over engineering brings many negative consequences. For example, oversized chillers and boilers tend to cycle rapidly, creating room temperature fluctuations and wearing down equipment atan accelerated pace.  \nAnother consequence of over engineering in mechanical systems is poor control of indoor humidity. ASHRAE recommends keeping relative humidity between 30% and 60% to make indoor sp","cbCaisMOudIRhtir","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisMOudIRhtir","pdf",2789430,17,"English","# Index\n## What Does MEP Mean in Construction?\n## Why Outsourcing MEP Designs Benefits the Construction Industry?\n## How Developers Benefit from Working with A MEP Engineering Firm\n## Checklist for Choosing a MEP Engineer\n## How to Choose a MEP Engineering Firm","[{\"question\":\"What does MEP mean in construction?\",\"answer\":\"MEP is an acronym for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering.
