Engineering lifecycle management strategies for MEP systems in large-scale hospitality and infrastructure projects

The efficiency of building engineering systems is determined not only by the quality of design and installation, but also by the strategies used to manage their lifecycle. In large-scale hospitality, infrastructure, and public facilities, operating costs, downtime probability, and system resilience to failures directly depend on the quality of commissioning processes and the regularity of preventive maintenance.
This article examines engineering approaches to lifecycle management of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), power supply, and water supply systems, including the impact of comprehensive equipment commissioning on capital and operational expenditures, as well as the relationship between preventive maintenance and failure risk. Special attention is given to facilities with high operational intensity and strict reliability requirements—such as hotels, medical centers, and multifunctional complexes.
