Abstract:

Modular construction of Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems is advancing toward greater efficiency and sustainability. As a critical component of modular design, module division plays a vital role in improving the efficiency and sustainability of building projects. However, traditional MEP module division methods often rely heavily on manual expertise, resulting in inefficiencies and suboptimal outcomes. Addressing these issues, this study systematically reviewed 142 relevant articles, comprehensively analyzing the current status of MEP modular construction. It further evaluated the characteristics and applicability of general module division methods and identified potential application scenarios in the MEP domain. The findings reveal that current MEP module division methods can be broadly categorized into manual methods applied to equipment rooms based on spatial planning, automated methods relying on the Dependency Structure Matrix, and approaches tailored for integrated pipeline modularization. While these methods each have advantages, they still require further optimization in terms of adaptability and efficiency. To address these challenges, this study proposes a research framework to guide future studies, identify research gaps, and provide recommendations for improving module division methods. This work contributes theoretical insights and practical references to advance modular construction technologies in the building industry.
