MEP design linking technology, comfort, and architecture
Every sustainable and high-performance building starts with a good MEP design. After all, without smart technology no building can be truly energy-efficient, flexible or comfortable. Yet MEP installations are often approached too late, too loosely or too technically. Even though they form a crucial link in your project’s success. Sweco combines its expertise in mechanical, electrical and plumbing installations to achieve your project goals from day one. It’s how we help construct smart, future-proof buildings.
What does MEP include?
MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) includes all building-related technical installations. For example:
- HVAC installations (air and hydraulic)
- Electricity, security systems and lighting
- Sanitary facilities, sewerage and rainwater
- Lifts
- Industrial kitchens
When designing these installations, our multidisciplinary team fully tailors them to your project vision, from master plan to detailed engineering.
Combined expertise from the initial design
At Sweco, we believe in an integrated approach: our MEP team is involved as early as the concept phase. As a result, we can:
- Actively incorporate all the project’s basic principles into the technical design
- Ensure optimal coordination with architecture and other relevant disciplines
- Make the right choices in terms of comfort, energy performance and level of ambition in the area of sustainability
The result is technology that doesn’t clash with your design, but enhances it.
Sustainable building requires smart technology
MEP plays a key role in areas such as the energy transition, stricter regulations and changing user demands Our installations support your sustainability ambitions by:
- Reducing energy consumption
- Ensuring a healthy indoor climate
- Enabling forward-looking flexibility
- Creating space for more nature-inclusive construction
This will not only increase the quality of life in your building, but also make it more meaningful in today’s social context.
Innovative tools make the difference
We combine our experience with state-of-the-art engineering:
- BIM modelling for seamless coordination
- Digital twins for Model Predictive Control during the design and operation
- 3D scans to accurately map existing situations
These tools make our designs smarter, faster and more reliable.
Technical experts with a human touch
Every building is different. Every project throws up new challenges. That’s why we combine technical excellence with clear communication and an open mind.
What makes our MEP team unique?
- We avoid an isolated approach and opt for interdisciplinary cooperation
- A hands-on strategy based on realistic solutions
- A focus on added value for the user, manager and the environment
We make sure that technology not only works, but also contributes to the overall experience offered by your building.
