Building Assessment

Understand your building. Improve its performance. Plan for its future. MEP Engineering provides comprehensive building assessment services to help owners understand the condition and performance of their existing building systems.

Building condition assessment and asset planning
SERVICE / 01
Asset Planning + Condition Assessment

Asset planning. Clear priorities.

Effective planning starts with understanding what systems and equipment are in place, what condition they are in, and when they are likely to need attention. We assess existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, controls and other building systems to identify aging equipment, deficiencies, operational risks and upcoming capital needs.

Start an Assessment
01 Building Systems

System Inventory

Building system and equipment inventory.

02 Equipment Performance

Condition & Lifecycle

Equipment condition and lifecycle assessment.

Remaining service life assessment.

03 Recommendations

Risk & Renewal

Identification of aging, obsolete or high-risk equipment.

Repair, upgrade and replacement recommendations.

04 Project Value

Capital Planning

Preliminary capital cost estimates.

Short-, medium- and long-term capital planning.

05 Phased Renewal

Improvement Priorities

Prioritization of capital improvements.

Energy-efficiency and decarbonization opportunities.

Building commissioning and recommissioning
SERVICE / 02
Commissioning + Recommissioning

Improve operation. Restore performance.

Building equipment can be in good physical condition while still operating inefficiently or differently from its intended design. Changes to controls, setpoints, occupancy, renovations and maintenance practices can gradually affect building performance.

01 System Performance

HVAC & Hydronics

HVAC and hydronic system performance assessment.

02 Building Automation

Controls & Scheduling

BAS and DDC controls review and optimization.

Equipment scheduling and control sequence review.

03 Pumps + Fans

Equipment Operation

Pumps, fans, valves and VFD operation review.

04 System Balance

Air & Water Balancing

Air and water balancing assessment.

05 Review + Correction

Operational Deficiencies

Identification and correction of operational deficiencies.

06 Long-Term Performance

Efficiency & Service Life

Opportunities to reduce energy use and improve occupant comfort.

Strategies to extend the useful life of existing equipment.

Building assessment action and capital planning
SERVICE / 03
From Assessment to Action

A practical roadmap forward.

Our building assessments are intended to go beyond identifying deficiencies. We help owners understand what is working, what can be improved, what should be repaired, and what ultimately needs to be replaced.

Discuss Your Building
01 Current Condition

Understand Performance

Understand what is working effectively today.

02 Optimization

Identify Improvements

Identify systems that can be improved or optimized.

03 Repairs + Investment

Plan the Next Steps

Prioritize necessary repairs and upgrades.

Plan future equipment replacement and capital investment.

By combining asset planning with commissioning and system optimization, MEP Engineering provides a practical path from assessment to action helping owners improve current building performance while making informed decisions about future capital investments.
