🌟 Success Story: Custom House Phase 1 🌟 As part of the heritage and legacy of AMF MEP we are proud to celebrate the work of our team and take inspiration and learning from all of their endeavours past and present. One such valuable piece of learning was The Custom House Phase 1 project, a groundbreaking initiative in London’s Newham borough. This venture transformed a single block into 90 Passivhaus-accredited residential units, showcasing a commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency in which the MEP was spearheaded by our very own CEO. 🔹 #Innovations: Passivhaus has 3 different levels of accreditation, Classic, Plus & Premium, this project was aiming for Passivhaus Classic. Spiral ducts allowed for a reduced pressure drop across the ventilation system which in turn increased the SFP Specific Fan Power of the MVHR’s. 🔹 #Achievements: Exceeded environmental standards, created a healthier living environment and set new benchmarks in residential design.

COLLECTIF Engineering and BlocPower are paving the Building Electrification road in NYC A collaboration between COLLECTIF Engineering PLLC and BlocPower is making waves in New York City’s Clean Energy and Sustainability initiatives COLLECTIF Engineering PLLC is a New York City Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP) consulting firm delivering building engineering design from concept to construction. BlocPower is a mission-driven climate technology company dedicated to fostering a future where every home and building serves as a catalyst for progress and positive change. The pair has come together to assist NYC buildings in transitioning their fossil fuel-based energy sources to more sustainable methods through the process of Building Electrification. In order to reduce carbon emissions significantly, in 2021 New York City passed Local Law 154 which requires all new buildings to be completely electric and fossil fuel free by 2027 - making New York the largest city in the world to phase out fossil fuels completely from new developments. (Urban Green Council) By prioritizing sustainable MEP design principles, buildings can minimize resource consumption, lower operational costs, and adhere to new city laws - ultimately advancing the transition towards a more environmentally responsible environment. As developers grapple with the changing energy landscape, COLLECTIF Engineering PLLC and BlocPower continue to lead the way, pioneering innovations to make the transition to clean energy more accessible.

Design development of ventilation systems is a key aspect of ensuring a comfortable and safe microclimate in premises of various purposes, from residential buildings to industrial enterprises. Effective ventilation systems not only maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels, but also ensure sufficient air exchange, removing polluted air and preventing the spread of odors and harmful substances. ⚡️The choice between natural and mechanical ventilation depends on the type of building and its function. Natural ventilation uses architectural solutions to stimulate airflow, whereas mechanical ventilation requires the installation of fans and ducts. It is necessary to calculate exactly how much fresh air is needed to keep the air quality at an optimal level. This depends on the number of people, the equipment in the room and the specifics of the activity. The ventilation system should be integrated with the heating, air conditioning and building management systems to optimize performance and energy consumption. The project must comply with local building codes, air quality standards and safety requirements. Systems should be designed to provide easy access for regular maintenance, cleaning, and repair. 🌐 https://dpm.global/ 📩 info@dpm.global #dpm #dpmglobal #dpmproject #construction #industrialconstruction #design #engineering #epcm #projectmanagement #constructionmanagement #bim #architecture

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 While the demand for high rising energy efficient buildings are skyrocketing, how many of us follow the building codes and build them accordingly? Ever wondered how softwares like 𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 does the work like it’s as flat as a pancake? Well, 𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 makes sure the building codes are properly followed and thus the buildings are both 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵. This software is used by engineers, architects and builders  and developed by the U.S. 𝘿𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 (𝘿𝙊𝙀) to help make sure the buildings are built under the 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙨 (𝙄𝙀𝘾𝘾) 𝙤𝙧 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙙𝙚 and the required energy efficiency is met.

We turn to 𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 for the guidance of efficiency standards related to the windows, floors, walls, lighting and ceiling. Our clients provided us with the architectural design and we inserted the parameters for that plan resulting if the plan was compliant or non compliant. One sample of our such a project is shown in the photo, we can see our compliance is 1.6% better in this case. Our turnaround is just 24 hours for a Rescheck, without any condition. Packages start at $69. Contact us with just your architectural plan for your Rescheck or any code compliance requirement, directly in https://lnkd.in/e7Xtq676 .

How is the selection of #MEP systems for #EnergyEfficiency and #electrification the keys to low-carbon transition, along with selecting low-GWP refrigerants? While the #EmbodiedCarbon of MEP systems can be elusive, comprehensive carbon analysis comparing energy use carbon against the embodied carbon of envelope and MEP systems is just becoming possible by using #TM65 analysis.

On the surface, commercial and residential MEP designs may appear similar, adhering to strict building regulations for various projects. However, their true differences lie in functionality. While residential projects have straightforward purposes, commercial spaces like large apartment complexes or senior living facilities demand complex and extensive systems. Understanding these nuances is crucial for tailored MEP designs. Swipe to learn the differences between residential and commercial MEP Engineering. #MEPengineering #residentialengineering #commercialengineering #engineering

The buildings industry is becoming increasingly aware and knowledgeable about embodied carbon, particularly from a structures perspective. But what about MEP systems?
