MEP Engineering Course

This course is designed to provide students and professionals with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in the design, drafting, and coordination of MEP systems in buildings using industry-standard tools and engineering practices.

Key Objectives:

1. Mechanical (HVAC) System Design
• Understand HVAC principles and load calculations
• Design air conditioning systems, duct sizing, and airflow distribution
• Select appropriate equipment (AHUs, FCUs, chillers, VRF systems)
• Design ventilation and exhaust systems per ASHRAE/ISHRAE standards

2. Electrical System Design
• Perform load calculation and electrical distribution design
• Prepare Single Line Diagrams (SLD), panel schedules, and lighting layouts
• Design internal wiring, earthing, and lightning protection systems
• Apply standards like NEC, IEC, and NBC

3. Plumbing & Fire Fighting Design
• Design water supply, drainage, and sewage systems
• Calculate pipe sizes and pumping requirements
• Design firefighting systems (hydrants, sprinklers, pumps, tanks)
• Ensure code compliance with NFPA, IPC, and local standards

4. MEP Coordination & Layouts
• Understand cross-discipline coordination between HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems
• Learn how to avoid clashes using software tools like AutoCAD and Revit MEP
• Develop coordinated MEP shop drawings

5. Software Tools
• Learn to use essential MEP design software such as:
◦ AutoCAD (for drafting)
◦ Revit MEP (for BIM modeling and coordination)
◦ HAP or Carrier E20 (for HVAC calculations)
◦ Dialux (for lighting design)

🎓 Course Outcome:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to design, draft, and coordinate complete MEP systems for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings as per international standards and project requirements.
