generator sets, solar system, fire protection systems & fire safety) and vertical
transportation, selection and maintenance.

Seminar Description: People in urban settings spend between 80% and 90% of their
time in indoor spaces both during work and during leisure time. The aesthetics,
efficiency, economy, comfort, and safety of modern buildings require close
collaboration across multiple disciplines. Although the primary responsibility of
delivering high quality building projects rests with the architecture discipline, the
knowledge and expertise of the mechanical engineers play a very important role in
supporting and sustaining the architect’s vision.
