As we navigate new construction, renovation, and interior fit-out projects in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area (DMV), our industry has a professional responsibility to stay current on codes and design trends – and a foundational knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems has never been more critical.
This session will dive into electrical engineering and explore the fundamental elements of power, lighting, and controls. We’ll address life safety systems and expand on power for special space requirements, systems furniture, and lighting. Following the electrical and lighting fundamentals, we will share insight on the latest trends that will have a significant impact on the built environment.
