Illinois HVAC Engineering
HVAC design is one of the most important components of a building's MEP system. Our HVAC engineers develop systems based on occupancy, floor area, equipment loads, ventilation requirements, climate conditions, energy requirements and applicable codes and standards. Services may include:
- Heating and cooling load calculations
- HVAC equipment sizing
- Air distribution and duct design
- Outside-air and ventilation calculations
- Exhaust design
- Equipment schedules
- HVAC controls
- Energy-efficiency analysis
- Rooftop equipment, heat pumps, VRF and chilled-water systems
ASHRAE standards include guidance relevant to ventilation, indoor air quality and energy efficiency — for example, Standard 62.1 for ventilation and Standard 90.1 for minimum energy efficiency. Actual requirements depend on the applicable codes, adopted editions, building type and authority having jurisdiction.
Illinois Electrical Engineering
Our electrical engineering services help architects, contractors, developers and building owners address the electrical requirements of Illinois construction and renovation projects. Typical services include:
- Electrical and service load calculations
- Panel schedules and single-line diagrams
- Lighting and power layouts

- Emergency power and generator systems
- Transformer coordination
- EV charging
- Electrical renovation and permit documentation
Each project is evaluated according to the applicable electrical codes, adopted standards, utility requirements and local permitting requirements.
Illinois Plumbing Engineering
Our plumbing engineers design and coordinate plumbing systems for commercial, residential, industrial and institutional projects. Typical services include:
- Domestic water design
- Sanitary and storm drainage
- Plumbing fixture layouts
- Water-supply and drainage calculations
- Water-heater design
- Gas-piping coordination
- Commercial kitchen and restaurant plumbing
- Grease-waste, sewage ejectors and sump systems
- Plumbing risers and permit drawings
Illinois Fire Protection Engineering
Fire protection requirements can be an important part of commercial and institutional building design. Our fire protection engineering coordination may include:
- Fire sprinkler systems
- Fire-alarm coordination
- Standpipes and fire pumps
- Fire protection layouts
- Life-safety coordination
- Occupancy-related fire protection requirements
- MEP / fire protection coordination
Project-specific requirements depend on the applicable state and local codes and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
MEP Permit Drawings for Illinois
Need engineering drawings for a building permit? MEPengineeringUSA.com can prepare professional engineering documentation for projects requiring HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection plans, MEP calculations, equipment schedules, load and energy calculations, engineering details, construction documents and permit-submission packages. Where professional engineering sealing is required, applicable documents are reviewed and sealed by an appropriately licensed Professional Engineer in accordance with applicable requirements.
Illinois MEP Engineering & Local Code Requirements
Building regulations can vary between states, municipalities, counties and other authorities having jurisdiction. For that reason, MEP design should not rely solely on a generic nationwide design template. Our project review considers applicable requirements such as state-adopted building, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and energy codes, fire and life-safety requirements, local amendments, utility requirements, AHJ requirements and project-specific design criteria. The International Code Council’s model codes include the International Mechanical Code and International Plumbing Code, but jurisdictions determine which codes and editions they adopt and enforce. For every Illinois project, the applicable jurisdiction and project requirements should be confirmed before design begins.
