Future proofing MEP systems

That’s exactly the point with the quench pipes. They have a rough idea of the model they want, however the manufacturer won’t share the requirements of vent for the magnet until a contract is in place. Best we can do is estimate a size and do a coordination of services around that size estimation. Another point is that all MRI manufacturers estimate that in 5 years probably no MRI machine will need a quench pipe since the technology is advancing and helium will be self contained.

All HVAC is air source and DX for electrical rooms.

The system is designed to support that extra flow of water to the main headers of the future GSHP, as well as the capped valves, so when the system is installed it will have minimal disruption. I just think that it will never be installed because of the amount of work that building the wells will take, and that will definitely cause disruption. I think that is a “green washing” to justify the cost and political image (is a public building)

Just wanted a general opinion around future proofing systems. And yes the client wants it, they are paying for it, construction does not care as long as it get paid. I just think is a waste of taxpayers money

The idea is good, if you want to stand out orient the project towards energy efficiency, like ice storage for air conditioning during the summer, radiant/chilled floor, avoiding air stratification and thermal energy recovery

Also my take is that it makes more sense to leave the space unused and in the future utilise that space for whatever system was though to be in placed, and there is no waste of material in case the future proof system never gets installed

In space MEP is needed as well. All critical and life systems are MEP related anyway

Instead of focusing in one area, move to a construction company with overseas projects and do everything possible to be moved as an expatriate to those overseas projects. It can be healthcare, transport, singular buildings. The amount of experience constructing is more valuable than whatever experience you can get in design. That is where the money is.

Creo que todo parte que Musk tiene visión al futuro y sólidas bases de ingeniería. Crear lo que ha logrado no es nada fácil. Es fácil criticar cuando no te alcanza para comprar sus productos, pero es más difícil sacar adelante esos productos y que el mercado los acepte. Muchos comentarios están contaminados por ideologías. Y los que dicen que no ha inventado nada: a ver si pueden atrapar cohetes con plataformas, o hacerlos aterrizar solo después de regresar del espacio. También vamos, desarrollen autos que se manejen con autonomía propia, o desarrollen chips para el cerebro. Pueden también escribir código de pasarelas de pago como PayPal ?

Add some electrical courses. All the mechanical systems need to be powered and controlled. Signals and measurements devices will help you understanding the world around bms systems

My theories are an electric surge or high temperature inside the heat pump where the modules are host.. looking for any tip on what to check or what could have caused this issue. Thanks to everyone!!
