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 capacitance; and two active elements: the voltage generator, and the current generator. The mechanical analogs of these elements can be used to construct a mechanical network diagram. What the mechanical analogs of these elements are depends on what variables are chosen to be the fundamental variables. There is a wide choice of variables that can be used, but most commonly used are a power conjugate pair of variables (described below) and the pair of Hamiltonian variables derived from these. There is a limit to the applicability of this lumped element model. The model works well if the components are small
