  What do you mean by Static Pressure? Static pressure describes the resistance experienced by air as it travels through an  HVAC system . In other words, it is the pressure a fan must overcome to move air through ducts, as needed for heating, ventilation and cooling. Static pressure and airflow are the two main aspects that determine the operating point of a fan, as well as power consumption. Various types of HVAC equipment establish an airflow through ducts, and two common examples are air-handling units (AHU) and packaged rooftop units (RTU). These pieces of equipment are designed to deliver a specific performance in terms of airflow and velocity. For an HVAC system to operate normally, equipment capabilities must match the needs of the air duct system. In particular, air handling systems must be capable of overcoming the static pressure. Other parameters considered by HVAC designers include the installed cost, operating expenses, maintenance, noise and vibration. A...

In the construction industry, new technology is most often embraced. For AEC (architectural, engineering, construction) professionals and firms, the development of the Building Information Modelling technology has proved to be a boon. Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing or MEP coordination is an integral part of the constructability review process and this process is easily facilitated utilizing BIM. MEP services are a crucial part of a functioning building structure. They include gas piping, fire protection, data systems, pneumatic tubing, etc. Coordination of MEP services ensures that the layout of these services does not clash with each other or with the structural or architectural disciplines. Before beginning actual construction, all coordination challenges must be addressed. When it comes to the coordination of MEP, it has always been a challenge to stay within budget. Also, the conventional process of MEP is not very efficient. There is always the risk of human error in an exte...
