MEP Systems Professional Practice

Overview

Introduction:

MEP systems represent the technical backbone of modern buildings through the integration of mechanical electrical and plumbing infrastructures. Their role centers on ensuring operational reliability safety environmental control and functional continuity within complex facilities. This training program covers professional frameworks system architecture models, coordination structures, and governance principles applied to MEP environments. It provides a general institutional view of how MEP disciplines support building performance regulatory alignment and lifecycle management.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze the institutional scope of mechanical electrical and plumbing systems within building projects.

  • Classify MEP system categories and functional integration structures.

  • Evaluate coordination and design governance models used in multidisciplinary projects.

  • Assess compliance and quality management frameworks applied to MEP systems.

  • Explore professional knowledge domains associated with MEP system planning and control.
