MEP Industry Disruptors | Ep. 1 | The Coordination Conversation with Jordan & Skala Engineers

The mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering world is undergoing rapid change—and if you’re in the building industry, you need to be ready.

In this first episode of The Coordination Conversation by Jordan & Skala Engineers, we break down the most critical disruptors shaping MEP today.

Contents of this podcast:

00:00 - Intro
01:30 - A2L Transitions
11:30 - 2021 Codes
16:50 - Tariff Impacts
18:45 - Construction Administration Changes

----------

A2L Refrigerant Transition
Discussion on the latest EPA regulations, compliance deadlines, and how design teams are navigating the shift from R-410A to low-GWP A2L refrigerants—especially in VRF systems.

2021 Energy Code Overhaul
The new IECC update is reshaping how teams approach energy modeling, lighting, and HVAC strategies. Learn how we've leverage the code for compliance and cost savings.

Construction Administration Trends
With tighter timelines and more RFIs, construction admin has changed. We explore the rise of submittal parties and how design teams can adapt without compromising quality.

Why It Matters:
These changes aren't just technical—they affect cost, coordination, compliance, and overall project success. Our experts share strategies to stay ahead of the curve.

In this episode, we unpack the evolving landscape of green building programs from ENERGY STAR and NGBS to LEED and beyond. As federal sustainability policies shift, we dive into the real-world incentives, verification requirements, and performance standards that still make green certifications a smart investment.

But this isn’t just about checklists. We explore how sustainability ties directly into the core of engineering, from HVAC system design and envelope performance to long-term energy use and operational cost savings. Whether you're designing to meet code, qualify for incentives, or simply create a better building, the case for smart, efficient systems has never been stronger.
