NEWTECNIC WORKS WITH integrated strategies so the MEP engineering on a construction project is environmentally controlled by mechanical or natural means . It ’ s achieved by linking it to the structural and envelope design strategies so , rather than having a loose fit between the different parts of the design , Newtecnic can seek an integrated fit . For example , a heavy concrete structure can benefit from the thermal capacity of sufficiently exposed material , in walls and floor finishes , allowing Newtecnic to innovate and generate the environmental MEP design from the loads imposed upon it , rather than choosing an economic system and getting it to work .
“ We like to work with the building physics to be able to respond to the nature of the structure and the
