Understanding High-Rise Building MEP Systems
High-rise buildings have complex MEP systems due to their height, occupancy, and mixed-use functionality.
Mechanical: HVAC, fire protection, elevators. Electrical: Power distribution, lighting, communications, backup systems.Plumbing: Water supply, drainage, sewage, and special systems like greywater recycling.
Architectural Model Makers
Architectural model makers are crucial for visualizing high-rise designs and coordinating with MEP systems. Physical Models:
Scale models showing exterior facades, interior layouts, and site context. 3D Printed Models: High precision models for presentation or MEP coordination. BIM Integration: Many model makers use Revit or AutoCAD to create models aligned with MEP and structural systems.
