MEP/FLS Assessments

Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Fire Life Safety (MEP/FLS) assessments can be incorporated into standard Property Condition Assessments (PCA) to provide a greater level of detail for buyers regarding the end of useful life of existing equipment and potential large capital expenditures. The MEP/FLS assessment can also be customized to place emphasis on specific systems.

Partner Energy has completed hundreds of (MEP/FLS) system assessments as part of the due diligence process. Our assessment process includes a physical evaluation of each specific system, review of construction documents, and communication with onsite maintenance staff. The MEP/FLS Assessment Report details system conditions, deficiencies, and recommendations for any corrective action of some/all of these building systems:

Mechanical (HVAC)

• Heat generation and cooling equipment
• Custom and unitary systems
• Central plants
• Air distribution and ventilation methods
• Control and building automation systems

Electric

• Electrical panel
• Electrical distribution systems
• Circuit interruption devices
• Wiring types
• Lighting
• Emergency generation equipment

Plumbing

• Piping and connections
• Pool heaters
• Manifolds, pumps, heaters and plumbing fixtures

Fire Life Safety

• Fire pumps and water service
• Sprinkler piping
• Fire life safety equipment
• Fire alarm control panel
• Devices, alarms and accessories

Partner Energy often conducts these additional scopes of work to further compliment the MEP/FLS study:

• An Energy and Water Survey to evaluate the existing energy and water usage at property and opportunities for efficiencies to reduce utility costs;
• A cursory Elevator Study to provide a basic analysis of elevator systems in lieu of more complex study;
• A Refrigeration Study to address the additional mechanical complexity of refrigerated warehouses; and/or,
• An Air Quality Study to evaluate the ventilation and filtration system and identify measures to improve the indoor air quality to minimize COVID-19 exposure.
