MEP UK Design Advisor-MEP Design Guidance

Example

Providing recommendations for integrating renewable energy sources into building designs, such as solar photovoltaic panels or biomass boilers.

Scenario

In a project aiming for a high BREEAM rating, MEP UK Design Advisor would analyze the building's orientation, insulation, and energy demand to propose the most suitable renewable technologies.

Example

Offering detailed advice on how to meet Part L of the Building Regulations concerning the conservation of fuel and power.

Scenario

When designing a residential complex, the advisor would suggest appropriate U-values for building elements, efficient heating systems, and lighting designs that minimize energy consumption while ensuring compliance.

Example

Assisting in the calculation and selection of HVAC system components based on building load requirements.

Scenario

For a commercial retail space, the advisor would calculate the cooling loads and recommend the size and type of air conditioning units needed to maintain comfortable indoor conditions.

Example

Providing cost-benefit analyses for different MEP systems, considering installation, operation, maintenance, and replacement costs.

Scenario

A school is considering different heating options. The advisor would compare the lifecycle costs of a ground-source heat pump versus a traditional gas boiler system, including initial capital costs and long-term energy savings.
