When constructing a building, many people may focus on the aesthetics of the architecture or the strength of the structure. However, in reality, what makes a building "functional" efficiently and safely is the building's systems (MEP), which are like the circulatory and nervous systems that nourish the building behind the scenes
Bliss Construction places great importance on building systems because we believe that a good building is not just beautiful, but also has stable, energy-efficient, and easy-to-maintain internal systems.
1. Electrical Engineering Systems
The electrical system is the heart of everything that runs within a building, whether it's a factory that uses heavy machinery or an office that relies on computer systems constantly.
- Power Electrical Systems: Design of Main Distribution Board (MDB) and safe wiring layout.
- Lighting System: Choose energy-efficient (LED) light bulbs and arrange them adequately for work.
- Backup power system: Such as a generator or UPS, to ensure business continuity even during a power outage.
- Lightning and grounding system: To ensure the safety of lives and property from unforeseen events.
2. Air Conditioning and Ventilation System (HVAC System)
This system directly impacts the comfort and productivity of occupants, as well as controlling the temperature for machinery in the factory.
- Temperature Control: Choose the appropriate system, such as VRV/VRF for offices or a chiller system for larger areas.
- Ventilation: The process of introducing fresh air and expelling stale air to reduce the accumulation of germs and PM 2.5 dust particles.
- Humidity control: is crucial for warehouses or factories that need to maintain product quality.
3. Sanitary and Plumbing System
An excellent water management system starts with good planning to prevent difficult-to-solve problems in the future, such as leaks or unpleasant odors.
- Water Supply System: The plumbing and water pump system is designed to provide consistent water pressure throughout the building.
- Wastewater system: Proper separation of sewage and toilet pipes, including rainwater drainage systems.
- Wastewater Treatment System: The installation of standard treatment tanks before discharging water into the public waterway is crucial for environmental protection in line with our sustainability policy.
4. Fire Protection System
This is a system that "exists but is unwilling to use," but if it must be used, it must function at 100% efficiency to minimize losses.
- Fire Alarm System: Accurate smoke and heat detectors.
- Automatic fire suppression systems: such as sprinkler systems or clean gas systems in server rooms.
- Fire extinguishing equipment: Installation of hose cabinets and fire extinguishers in easily accessible locations as required by law.
Why are systems engineering important?
- Safety: Substandard electrical or fire suppression systems can lead to life-threatening danger.
- Long-term value: Investing in quality systems can significantly reduce electricity and water costs.
- Reduce maintenance costs: Well-planned systems are easier to maintain and require less frequent demolition or dismantling.
- Hygiene: Good ventilation and plumbing systems contribute to a better quality of life for building occupants and increase their work efficiency.
