FAQs
What does MEP engineering include for health and recreation facilities?
MEP engineering includes the design of mechanical (HVAC and ventilation), electrical (power, lighting, controls), and plumbing (water supply, drainage, sanitation) systems tailored to high-use, active environments.
Why is specialized MEP design important for gyms and fitness centers?
Gyms require enhanced ventilation, temperature control, and electrical capacity to handle heavy equipment, high occupancy, and heat generation. Proper MEP design improves comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.
How do MEP engineers manage humidity and air quality in spas and wellness facilities?
Engineers design HVAC systems with humidity control, proper exhaust, and air circulation to protect indoor air quality, prevent moisture damage, and maintain a comfortable environment for guests.
Can MEP engineers design systems for sports complexes and recreation centers?
Yes. MEP engineers design large-scale HVAC, lighting, and plumbing systems for sports complexes, arenas, and recreation centers, ensuring reliable performance for both athletes and spectators.
Do escape rooms and interactive venues require special MEP considerations?
Absolutely. These spaces often require specialized lighting, power distribution, audiovisual support, emergency systems, and precise climate control to support immersive experiences and safety requirements.
Where does Neville Engineering operate?
We serve clients across the Southeast and Central United States, with a presence in over 30 states. Our deep knowledge or codes and regulations in every region of our our service area ensures your project will be in full compliance.
When should I involve an MEP engineer in a health or recreation project?
Early involvement during planning or conceptual design ensures systems are integrated properly, supports code compliance, and helps avoid costly changes during construction.
Can MEP engineers assist with renovations or system upgrades?
Yes. MEP engineers frequently upgrade existing gyms, spas, and recreation facilities to improve energy efficiency, meet updated codes, or support new equipment and layouts.
