Often, when people think about commercial construction, they overlook the importance of smart mechanical engineering services. However, engineering concepts are the basis of most of the state-of-the-art products in the world, and building construction is no exception.

Here are three ways mechanical engineering impacts a building project:

• Quality Comfort: Occupant comfort and indoor environment air quality are important parts of any occupied environment. Mechanical engineers work diligently to provide the optimum systems to provide acceptable levels of comfort and environment within the owner's expectations and budget requirements.
   
• Advanced Equipment: Modern buildings also rely on a carefully balanced network of advanced equipment, including ground source heat pumps, radiant & hydronic systems, VRF, various air systems, pumping systems, solar hot water, heat recovery and ventilation systems, as well as the building plumbing systems for waste, vent, domestic cold and hot water systems, condensate, gas and other piping systems.
     
• Efficiency: Mechanical engineers work with architects on the thermal envelope and natural lighting to lower energy requirements and then work to select systems that are efficient, sustainable, and make economic sense. With state of the art energy and modeling software to evaluate system performance and model energy consumption.
