Beyond MEP: Holistic Strategies to Enhance Building Performance

The solution to building energy efficiency includes more than mechanical systems. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the most impactful strategies to improve building performance that involve collaboration with others in the AEC industry, including architects, owners and developers.  

Achieving optimal building performance requires a holistic approach that integrates not only MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems, but also building design, occupant behavior, and environmental context. This will explore Passive Solar Design, Building Envelope, Energy Management / Internet of Things (Smart Buildings), and Geothermal Energy Systems, to achieve building performance goals. By bringing together architects, engineers, owners, and developers, this guide will show how early and ongoing cooperation leads to innovative, sustainable solutions that optimize energy use, reduce operational costs, and enhance occupant comfort. Whether through integrated design processes, smart technologies, or shared performance goals, the future of high-performing buildings lies in a comprehensive, team-oriented approach to energy efficiency.
