The Plumbing Engineer plays a different role in the design of the Fire Suppression sprinkler systems for a facility. The Plumbing Engineer supports the Civil Engineer for the plumbing systems outside the building including storm water, sewer, natural gas, fire suppression water, domestic water, irrigation water, and other special water and waste systems. Design of Heat and Energy Transfer Systems.Design of Process and Fluid Flow Systems.In most states the Mechanical Engineer supervises the Plumbing Engineers' responsibilities in the following areas: (61G15, Florida Administrative Code ) Traditionally the Plumbing Engineer performs the calculations, sizes the equipment, and prepares the plumbing design and construction documents under the supervision of a licensed Mechanical, Fire Protection or Civil, Professional Engineer. Plumbing Engineering responsibilities overlap into the professional engineering areas of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Fire Protection Engineering, and Process Engineering. The future of Plumbing Engineering lies in the ability to design systems with the "whole building" in mind using, preserving, and respecting the natural biospheric earth systems of recycling air, waste, and water. The Plumbing Engineer is in a key position to influence the water efficiency, sustainable site, energy, fire protection, and pollution systems of a facility. The Plumbing Engineer is involved with systems that overlap into the mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering disciplines. In the past few centuries, with the growth of the industrial revolution and the scientific method, new plumbing methods were formalized into different engineering professions. Through the centuries these valuable methods were lost. A disciplined method of water hydrology grew as evidenced in the Roman aqueduct system. Historically, as societies grew in complexity and size, so did the plumbing systems supporting them.
Successful societies respect the biospheric systems by reproducing the earth's recycling systems in their own artificial biospheric plumbing system. The earth has a complex natural biospheric recycling system that converts air, water, and solid waste of animals through plants, soil, and evaporation to fresh water and air for animal consumption.
