It seem to be standard that MEP should know about once step into the Railway System.

Did you know that MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) contributes up to 50% of embodied carbon in commercial buildings and retrofits across a building's lifetime? But it doesn't have to be challenging to model MEP whole-life carbon. The MEP Carbon Tool is the simple way to ensure the data and scope your MEP project needs — use TM65 data, hit MEP 2040 targets, and secure your business goals.

I wrote a little bit about the electrification and green buildings in this Building Performance-focused version of the IN THE KNOW newsletter. Also included are some interesting nuggets about the LEED v4.0 energy update, and building commissioning. What conversations are you having about Carbon, Cost, and Energy? How are you navigating these challenges with owners?

Important notes in MEP you should READ! (Copied)

One top MEP product in modern construction is Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, which allows for easy coordination and collaboration among architects, engineers, and contractors 🏗️. Another essential MEP product is energy-efficient HVAC systems, which help reduce energy consumption and lower utility costs 💡. Additionally, advanced lighting control systems enhance occupant comfort and reduce electricity usage. Smart building automation systems can optimize building performance and increase efficiency. Overall, MEP products play a crucial role in creating sustainable and efficient buildings for the future of construction 🌟. #MEP #construction #technologicaladvancements

Why EPDs are becoming important for MEP BIM planning? As investors, banks have been required to report within this framework since 2022; whether and to what extent they finance environmentally friendly projects. The value of a building is increasingly measured in terms of its environmental impact over its entire life cycle – from manufacture, transport, construction and operation to demolition and recycling. That is why investors demand ecological consideration or certification of the building at an early stage. Federal funding programs also usually require a sustainability assessment. ❗Importance of MEP planning for life cycle assessment ❗ When calculating environmental impacts, the focus is on the construction of the building, i.e., on the building envelope and the building materials required for it. The CO2 footprint of the very small-scale MEP systems is simply overestimated for the life cycle analysis of the building. This is changing due to the EU taxonomy. An approximate ecological assessment of MEP systems is being met with harsh penalty values by recognized “Green Building Label” certification. #BIM #EPD #Kampmann #netzero #carbonfootprint #sustainability #breeam #leed #heatingsolutions #heatingandcooling #fancoil

Resilient MEP systems takes center stagehe in changing climates and challenging conditions. From hurricane-prone coastal regions to extreme cold environments, the demand for robust Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) solutions is escalating. Join us on a journey through the innovative strategies and cutting-edge technologies that fortify structures against the forces of nature. Resilient spaces require MEP systems that go beyond conventional standards. The he integration of smart sensors, adaptive HVAC technologies, and energy-efficient electrical grids are designed withstand the harshest elements. In the realities of a changing climate, the adaptation of MEP systems becomes a critical aspect of engineering excellence. The new year brings challenges, but with Earth First Consulting, resilience is our strength. Join the conversation on resilient MEP systems and witness how technology is transforming our ability to create spaces that endure, adapt, and remain sustainable in the face of adversity.Learn about our past projects and what's in store for 2024 at www.earthfirstco.com. #earthfirstconsulting #sustainability #greenengineering #holidaycheer #MEPMagic #EngineeringExcellence #MEPResilience #ExtremeConditions #MEPResilience #InnovationInEngineering

As the commercial construction industry shifts towards more sustainable design practices, MEP consultants are responsible for integrating renewable energy sources, adhering to strict codes, and embedding smart technologies. Whether you’re planning new construction or renovating an existing property, MEP consultants can add value to your project and help your bottom line. Here are three main reasons why: 1️⃣ Improve Your Bottom Line: MEP consultants help building owners achieve optimal building performance by maximizing energy efficiency, reducing redundancies, and designing integrated, synergistic systems from the start. 2️⃣ Optimize Energy Efficient Designs: Through energy modeling, a virtual simulation of a building’s energy usage, MEP consultants gain an understanding of the current energy consumption, make predictions for future consumption, and optimize designs to maximize efficiencies. 3️⃣ Reduce Project Risk: Construction and renovations involve multiple, complex systems. MEP consultants collaborate with all project team members to improve communication, ensure code compliance, and avoid delays.
