Mechanical room (see: mechanical floor). Mechanical rooms typically house the following equipment: Equipment in mechanical rooms is often operated and maintained by a stationary engineer or a maintenance technician. Modern buildings use control systems to manage HVAC cycles, lighting, communications, and life safety equipment. Often, the control system hardware is located in the mechanical room and monitored or accessed remotely. Rooms with only electrical or electronic equipment are not considered mechanical rooms but are instead called electrical rooms. Mechanical room A mechanical room or a boiler room is a room or space in a building dedicated to the mechanical equipment and its
Mechanical–electrical analogies the electrical and acoustical domains. The transducer provides the link between the mechanical and electrical domains and thus a network representation is required for it in order to develop a unified electrical analogy. To do this the concept of port from the electrical domain is extended into other domains. Transducers have (at least) two ports, one port in the mechanical domain and one in the electrical domain, and are analogous to electrical two-port networks. This is to be compared to the elements discussed so far which are all one-ports. Two-port networks can be represented as a 2×2 matrix, or equivalently,
