Why MEP Design Work Will Always Require the Human Touch"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/boua7VTHc3Y?rel=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI-powered MEP design tools can boost an MEP designer\u2019s efficiency by taking over the time-consuming processes of routing and sizing systems. This has a massive impact on the efficiency and quality of your future MEP layouts, but it also has a big impact on the value you get from your engineering partner.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>While it may seem that the AI is doing the heavy lifting in MEP design work, it\u2019s also allowing the human engineer more time to add to the value that architects and owners can receive from their MEP partner. An AI-based MEP design program can vet thousands of options and associated data, which a human engineer cannot. However, this simply frees the MEP engineer to focus on other value-added goals that matter to the architect and owner. We believe that MEP design will always require a human touch. An experienced engineer armed with AI technology can provide much more value than either one alone.<gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Accenture Research experts James Wilson and Paul Daugherty wrote in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2018\/07\/collaborative-intelligence-humans-and-ai-are-joining-forces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Harvard Business Review<\/strong><\/a>, \u201cThrough such collaborative intelligence, humans and AI actively enhance each other\u2019s complementary strengths: the leadership, teamwork, creativity, and social skills of the former, and the speed, scalability, and quantitative capabilities of the latter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consider the following five reasons why MEP design work will always require a human touch.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. It takes an engineer to see the big picture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, AI-powered MEP design software can \u201csee\u201d the multitude of details and parameters the engineers input regarding your project and MEP system. Still, that doesn\u2019t mean a machine can be programmed to understand what\u2019s truly important to the end user of the space. It takes an experienced engineer to understand which parameters are the ones that matter in terms of meeting aesthetic, design and functional goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One big reason for this: The engineer is working with more than the data on the page, so to speak. While the computer program can identify the most efficient design, it may not be able to prioritize the design objectives that ensures a certain level of finish or functional layout. The engineer, on the other hand, is privy to the information carried in the inflection in the client\u2019s voice as they get carried away talking about a certain aesthetic detail, or the eye roll that indicates the element being considered isn\u2019t as much of a priority as adequate air distribution, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s perhaps the biggest benefit to working with an MEP design team that uses AI-powered technology. In trusting the software to crunch the data, the engineer can better prioritize that critical relationship-building that reveals what\u2019s really important to the client on any project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. An engineer can help you sort through all the best options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of AI-powered MEP design work is that the software can run essentially every possible option for MEP routing, sizing and other criteria to determine the option that best balances engineering needs and costs. And it can run through that tedious process exponentially faster than any human engineer possibly could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge, of course, is that too many options can be a bit overwhelming when you want to sort through just a few possible variations. The best option as selected by an AI program may hit all of the client\u2019s engineering priorities but, without human input, may miss the bigger picture. Sometimes an architect has a feel for what they\u2019re searching for but may need to see a few options\u2014just not all the options. The right MEP design partner can help sift through the highlights. What\u2019s more, with the right partner, architects can better trust that they\u2019ll select the best quality option for meeting all parameters, even the ones that are tough to define.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. An engineer can address your aesthetic-related concerns<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll admit that AI may have a place in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/interestingengineering.com\/7-of-the-most-important-ai-artists-that-are-defining-the-genre#:~:text=What%20is%20AI%20artwork%3F,%2D%20%2D%20at%20least%20in%20part.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>creating art<\/strong><\/a>, but when it comes to capturing the aesthetic goals of an architecture project, it\u2019s just not there yet. The good news is, by removing the drudgery of routing and sizing systems, AI-powered design tools allow engineers more time to get details right around building aesthetics and function for a more pleasurable experience in a given space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the challenge here is that design can be very individual. Two different architects may take very different approaches to the same type of space. It\u2019s up to the MEP designer to understand the priorities and apply those differences to the final MEP design work. You can program some of these aesthetic priorities into the AI software, but these tools are simply not capable of recognizing the aesthetic details that make a project come alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By utilizing machines to do what they do best, human engineers can do what they do best: Create a more elegant and attractive design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. The engineer can make that AI data work for your budget<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The right AI-powered MEP design software can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/schnackel.com\/mls312\/staging\/blog\/how-to-save-time-and-money-on-mep-design-solutions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>identify conflicts<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;and project parameters as the same input as entered time and again, increasing the efficiency of both design and construction. In many cases, the data coming out will have similarities across multiple projects. &nbsp;With this familiarity comes the potential to simplify the construction process. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As MEP installation contractors start seeing fewer conflicts in the designs, there\u2019s a high level of predictability that comes to the bidding, permitting and construction processes. That can translate to tighter numbers that reflect greater certainty in bidding and construction, as contractors are able to eliminate some of the padding often added into an estimate to cover potential unknowns. With more precise data, comes more precise pricing information and more efficient construction with fewer RFIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. An engineer will prioritize relationship-building<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can leave it to the AI-powered MEP design solution to run all the data and provide consistently excellent results. But that software isn\u2019t going to stop and answer your questions as they arise. And AI software doesn\u2019t care one way or another about how your design turns out aesthetically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to count on the human engineer\u2019s experience to input the data that will carry your MEP design to the best possible conclusion. The right input will lead to the best result, every time. When you\u2019re partnered with an engineering firm that is as excited about developing a project as you are, who takes pride in their work as much as you do, then you\u2019re more likely to feel confident in the designs coming out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way AI can help here: It can help instill trust in an excellent design. Once you feel comfortable about your MEP engineer\u2019s results, and have confidence that any potential MEP problems will be identified early in the design process, then you gain valuable peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This excitement is certainly an area where Schnackel Engineers excels.
