• Wiring diagrams and termination schedules 

• Equipment electrical specifications 

1. Power Distribution & Equipment Design 

• Design and validate electrical systems for HVAC equipment, including:  

• Water‑cooled & air‑cooled chillers 

• AHUs, MAUs, FCUs, VAV systems 

• Chilled water pumps, condenser water pumps 

• Cooling towers system 

• Engineer and review:  

• Low‑voltage power distribution 

• MCCs and control panels 

• Motor starters (DOL, star‑delta, soft starter) 

• VFD sizing and coordination 

4. Mechanical (HVAC) Design 

• Review the mechanical design and system selection for HVAC systems 

• Review:  

• Cooling load calculations  

• Ductwork and piping layout design 

• Air distribution and ventilation strategies 

• Pressure drops and hydraulic calculations 

• Develop and validate:  

• HVAC system schematics and flow diagrams 

• Equipment layouts and plantroom design 

• Ensure optimal system selection based on:  

• Energy efficiency 

• Lifecycle cost 

• Redundancy and reliability requirements 

5. Controls, Integration & Coordination

• Ensure proper integration between:  

• Mechanical systems 

• Electrical systems 

• BMS (Building Management System) 

• Coordinate with:  

• Architects 

• Structural engineers 

• Other MEP disciplines 

• Resolve interface issues across disciplines during design and execution 

6. Codes, Standards & Authority Compliance 

• Ensure full compliance with applicable standards, including:  

• IEC / IEEE (electrical) 

• ASHRAE / local mechanical codes (mechanical HVAC) 

• Prepare documentation for:  

• Authority submission and approval 

• Consultant technical reviews 

• Mitigate compliance risks early in design to avoid site rework or approval delays 

7. Project Execution & Commissioning 

• Provide technical support during construction and installation 

• Review shop drawings and material submittals (M&E) 

• Ensure proper system handover documentation and closeout 

Required Qualifications
