Mechanical & Electrical Building Services (MEP)

Delivering energy savings whilst maintaining a pleasing aesthetic has shaped the role of MEP engineers – specialists who play a vital role in the success of built environment and construction projects.

Our MEP advice, design and Technical Advisor (TA) duties are undertaken with our clients, stakeholder and end-user experience firmly in mind. Convenience and aesthetics are twinned with high-performance technology to ensure buildings meet our client’s aspirations and are efficient and as low energy as possible.

Whether new build, retrofit, extension or full refurbishment, we can apply our MEP capability, experience and strategies from feasibility stage, through to technical design, including support through; construction, commissioning, handover & close out and in use as part of the post-occupancy evaluation.

The requirement to minimise energy usage within buildings calls for a methodology which considers fabric heat losses, daylight calculations, internal lighting efficiency, airtightness of the envelope, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system type and efficiency. We assess all the options to make sure that clients are fully aware of the variety of choices they have; ensuring all information is provided clearly so that with our support, our clients can assess the possibilities and make informed decisions for the benefit of the long-term stability of their businesses as well as the environment.
