Building mechanics

Building mechanics involves understanding how the various systems within a structure function together to ensure safety, comfort, and efficiency. It covers areas like structural integrity (how the building supports itself), heating and cooling (HVAC systems), water supply and drainage, electrical systems, and fire safety. These systems are designed, installed, and maintained to work harmoniously, preventing issues like leaks, failures, or hazards. Building mechanics ensures that a building performs reliably under daily use and environmental conditions, combining principles of engineering, physics, and safety regulations to create functional, durable, and safe environments for occupants.
