MEPF Systems: The Backbone of Building Infrastructure
MEPF systems are the backbone of any building's infrastructure, ensuring occupant comfort, operational efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance. These systems are integrated into the architectural and structural design to provide vital services such as air conditioning, electrical power, water supply, waste management, and fire safety. Proper coordination of MEPF components is essential for successful construction and long-term performance of any residential, commercial, or industrial facility.
