Problems Faced by Architects Designing Residential Projects in Georgia, And How Our MEP Engineers Solve Them

1 High Humidity & Cooling Load Challenges

Problem

  • Long cooling seasons with high latent heat loads
  • Risk of mold growth and indoor air quality issues
  • Undersized HVAC systems due to improper load calculations
  • Increased tenant comfort complaints in multifamily projects

Solution

  • Detailed, sensible, and latent load calculations
  • Properly sized, high-efficiency HVAC systems
  • Dedicated dehumidification strategies (DOAS, where required)
  • Balanced ventilation design for indoor air quality compliance

2 Electrical Service & Utility Coordination Delays

Problem

  • Transformer and utility infrastructure limitations
  • Delays in electrical approvals from local providers
  • Inaccurate load projections are causing redesigns
  • Lack of future capacity planning

Solution

  • Accurate electrical load calculations and demand analysis
  • Early coordination with Georgia Power and local utilities
  • Preparation of utility load letters and service applications
  • Panel sizing with future expansion provisions

3 Slab-on-Grade Plumbing Coordination Risks

Problem

  • Plumbing conflicts discovered after slab pours
  • Drainage slope and venting issues
  • Inaccessible underground piping
  • Costly rework due to poor pre-construction coordination

Solution

  • Pre-slab BIM coordination and clash detection
  • Accurate drainage slope and invert level planning
  • Sleeve and penetration coordination before concrete placement
  • Code-compliant venting and fixture unit calculations

4 Fire Protection & Georgia Code Compliance Complexities

Problem

  • Misclassification of occupancy types
  • Late-stage sprinkler layout conflicts
  • Local AHJ review revisions
  • Delays in life-safety system approvals

Solution

  • Early fire hazard and occupancy classification review
  • Code-compliant sprinkler system design
  • Coordinated fire alarm and life-safety layouts
  • Permit-ready documentation aligned with Georgia codes

5 Energy Code & Efficiency Compliance

Problem

  • Georgia energy code amendments aligned with IECC
  • Non-compliant HVAC efficiency selections
  • Insufficient ventilation documentation
  • Failed energy reviews are causing permit delays

Solution

  • Energy-efficient HVAC system design
  • REScheck / COMcheck documentation support
  • High-performance equipment selection
  • Ventilation strategies meeting state compliance standards

6 Storm Resilience & Power Reliability Concerns

Problem

  • Severe thunderstorms and grid stress during peak summer
  • Power interruptions affecting elevators and life-safety systems
  • Surge risks damaging electrical equipment
  • Inadequate emergency power planning

Solution

  • Emergency generator and backup power design
  • Load prioritization for critical systems
  • Surge protection and grounding strategies
  • Separation of life-safety and essential electrical panels

7 Late MEP Involvement Leading to Costly Redesigns

Problem

  • MEP engineers are engaged after architectural layouts are finalized
  • Undersized shafts and inadequate mechanical room allocations
  • Structural conflicts between ducts, piping, and framing systems
  • Increased change orders and construction delays

Solution

  • Early-stage schematic MEP planning
  • Design development coordination meetings
  • Infrastructure sizing aligned with project goals
  • Constructability reviews before permit submission
