: Primarily focus on HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) to regulate temperature, humidity, and indoor air quality. Key components include chillers, boilers, air handling units (AHUs), and heat pumps. Mechanical and electrical systems serve as the "backbone"
(MEEB) is widely considered the industry standard for environmental control systems design in architecture and construction. For over 80 years, it has provided comprehensive guidelines on integrating technology with building design to ensure safety, comfort, and sustainability.
