What to know about Mechanical engineers
Mechanical engineers design the systems that make a building work: heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing and drainage, fire protection, and the controls that tie them together. On a construction project they produce the drawings and specifications that contractors build from, coordinate with the architect and the structural and electrical engineers, and review the work as it goes in. On existing buildings they investigate systems that underperform, plan replacements, and support energy and ventilation upgrades.
