MEP engineers and architects involved in commercial construction constantly encounter new challenges in HVAC layout optimization from energy consumption viewpoint. A major chunk of energy consumption is accounted for HVAC systems in commercial buildings since it is operational all through the day; and sometimes at night as well in case of offices & hospitals etc. More or less, every building construction project harms environment and the construction waste pollutes air and soil.
Alongside achieving energy efficiency, providing comfort is an ongoing task for MEP engineers and architects as they need to coordinate their designs with high-performance buildings. Efforts to reduce energy consumption have led to emergence of energy codes and standards to achieve minimum possible energy requirements in new building construction projects & for renovation or refurbishment of existing facilities. Energy conservation codes and standards empower MEP engineers to…
