Compliance and performance
- Part L assessment route, SBEM and EPC requirements where applicable
- Ventilation, indoor-air-quality and energy-control requirements
- Fire strategy, accessibility, water and sanitary-service interfaces
Building type
Commercial and workplace
MEP services for offices and workplace estates.
Design priorities
What the services need to resolve
- Thermal comfort, indoor-air quality and occupancy assumptions
- Overheating control with occupancy and operational zoning
- Lighting, power and sub-metering assumptions for live operation
- Resilience and maintenance boundaries for occupied spaces
Technical profile
What needs to be coordinated
Requirements are confirmed for the specific building, project stage, procurement route and appointed design responsibilities.
Typical service provisions
- Zoned heating, cooling and ventilation for changing occupancy
- Lighting, small power, data, security and emergency systems
- Controls, metering and BMS integration for efficient operation
- Domestic water, drainage and staff welfare provisions
Consultant and specialist interfaces
- Architectural layouts, facade strategy and ceiling coordination
- Structural openings, plant support, risers and distribution routes
- Energy assessor, fire consultant, acoustician, IT, security and facilities teams
Fire strategy and life safety
- Translate the appointed fire strategy into coordinated fire-alarm, emergency-lighting and smoke-control interfaces
- Define fire-damper, sprinkler, lift, controls and cause-and-effect responsibilities
- Coordinate penetrations, access and maintainability without changing fire-strategy ownership
The appointed fire consultant owns the fire strategy. MEP design coordinates the defined building-services interfaces.
