OCTOBER 2024CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6In the age of smart technologies and sustainable practices, mechanical electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems form the backbone of modern infrastructure, ensuring that buildings function efficiently, safely and sustainably. Whether it's a high-rise commercial building, a hospital or a residential complex, MEP designs have evolved to meet the growing expectations for energy efficiency, comfort and reliability. MEP engineers are now tasked with creating systems that support net-zero buildings--structures that generate as much energy as they consume.According to market reports, the global MEP services market, valued at $50.26 billion in 2022, is projected to reach $138.90 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.7 percent.Technological advancements are revolutionizing MEP design, moving the industry toward smart systems that integrate advanced sensors, real-time monitoring and automation. Smart MEP systems are capable of adjusting HVAC settings based on occupancy patterns, weather data, or even room-specific preferences, resulting in enhanced energy savings without sacrificing comfort. Electrical systems are equally advanced, integrating with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power while leveraging AI-driven analytics to optimize electricity use, prevent downtime and cut costs. Plumbing, often the least visible of MEP systems, is being revolutionized by smart leak detection, water usage monitoring and automated recycling systems designed to conserve resources.In this edition, Construction Business Review spotlights the key drivers of innovation in MEP services and the contributions of its top leaders.It features thought leadership articles from Baris Sevinc, Facilities service director at Equity Residential, who explains that a comprehensive and realistic budget is essential for effective cost management and operational efficiency in facility management.
