What are the different types of control systems used in MEP design?

There are several types of control systems used in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) design:

1. HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) control systems: These systems regulate the temperature, humidity, and air quality within a building through the control of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.

2. Lighting control systems: These systems regulate the amount and timing of lighting in a building, including natural lighting and artificial lighting.

3. Energy management control systems: These systems monitor and control the consumption of energy within a building, including electricity, gas, and water usage.

4. Fire protection control systems: These systems provide early detection and warning of potential fires and activate firefighting systems, including sprinklers and ventilation systems.

5. Security and access control systems: These systems regulate access to a building and monitor security, including alarm systems and CCTV cameras.
