Building type
Residential
MEP planning for housing and care environments.
Design priorities
What the services need to resolve
- Heating, hot-water and thermal comfort targets
- Ventilation performance, air quality and control logic
- Electrical demand and life-safety interfaces
- SAP, Part L and Part O evidence for each phase
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
- Space heating, low-temperature distribution and domestic hot water
- Whole-dwelling ventilation, local extract and comfort controls
- Landlord and dwelling electrical distribution, lighting, data and metering
- Water, drainage, rainwater and external utility connections
Consultant and specialist interfaces
- Architectural layouts, fabric, airtightness, acoustics and service zones
- Energy assessor, fire consultant, structural engineer and utility providers
- Kitchen, bathroom, lift, sprinkler and other specialist suppliers
Fire strategy and life safety
- Coordinate alarms, smoke control, emergency power and lift interfaces to the appointed fire strategy
- Protect compartmentation where services cross walls, floors and shafts
- Define sprinkler, smoke-ventilation and evacuation-system boundaries where required
The appointed fire consultant owns the fire strategy. MEP design coordinates the defined building-services interfaces.
