What Is The Difference Between MEP And HVAC?

MEP

When Armstrong Plumbing, Air & Electric talks with our many commercial clients in Lubbock, TX about HVAC, they know immediately what we are talking about. The acronym stands for: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. What needs to be pointed out is that those systems are just one part of another, much less well-known acronym MEP, or Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing.

Breaking it Down

You could say MEP includes everything that keeps your business facility running smoothly and keeps your employees safe and comfortable. Let’s dig a little deeper:

  • Mechanical includes:
    • The aforementioned HVAC systems
    • Audio & visual networks
    • Alarm systems for doors & windows
    • Elevators and escalators
  • Electrical:
    • Outlets
    • Fixtures
    • Bulbs
    • Switches
    • Appliances
  • Plumbing:
    • Potable water supply
    • Sinks, faucets, toilets, etc.
    • Wastewater & sewage disposal through drains & pipes
    • Outdoor irrigation where applicable

Just like the fingers on your hands, HVAC and MEP need to work together from the design process, through installation, during operation, and as part of a long-term maintenance plan.
