The architects must have enough space for all of the ducts in the celing and/or the floors so they can have enough room to place the ducts effiecently enough to heat or cool the building.

3. How does an engineer know the requirements for mechanical design of an HVAC system?
The engineer must research the requirements and codes for the mechanical design of an HVAC system and work that into his design and installation.

4. Why is it important for architects to be aware of how mechanical systems are designed or
constructed?

So they know what and how to put things in so that the building can hold all that it needs to in order to have all the requirements that are needed for the building to be up to code.

5. What information must an architect provide to a mechanical engineer to ensure proper design and placement of the mechanical systems?
The architect must provide his or her designs, plans, and research on the requirements and building to the mechanical engineer so that the engineer understands how the system should be designed and placed.
