be built and how the building will be designed. What also needs to be taken into account is equipment used - as well as storage capacity and internal climate control
(or HVAC). This paper will discuss some mechanical engineering concepts that are important to building construction. In this paper well examine three concepts: hydraulics (for machine operations), pressure vessels (for
storage) and heating loads (to determine HVAC). While these three concepts are not exactly reviewed when it comes to construction, they are important for understanding how things work.
One of these concepts involve hydraulics, which are used almost everywhere and in every which way. In factories, hydraulics are used to control machinery
ranging from fork lifts, to punch presses (Cahners Publishing, 2001). Hydraulic pumps can be found on construction equipment as well - as mentioned before, forklifts rely on hydraulics, as do
cranes, hauling trucks and other equipment that carries material to a site and hauls it away. Those who are familiar with car shops know that the hydraulic lifts help lift
cars off a shop floor so the mechanic can see beneath the car to determine what is wrong. The basic idea behind
a hydraulic system is force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid - which typically is an oil or other lubricant of
some sort (Cahners Publishing, 2001). The theory is that when force is applied on one part, it is multiplied by the time it reaches another part of the equipment (Cahners
Publishing, 2001). With hydraulic systems, it is very easy to add force multiplication or division to a particular moving system (Cahners Publishing,
