A five-star hotel in Sanya with 300 guest rooms, including 1 presidential suite, 20 executive suites, 160 double standard rooms, and the rest are king rooms. The gym and pool are located on the third floor. Kitchens are located on the second floor and first floor respectively. The basement houses receiving and rough processing areas. There is one banquet hall of 800 m² with a height of 7 m. There are 5 meeting rooms of 60 m² each, and one ADD restaurant with 100 seats. The lobby on the first floor is 2,000 m², with the reception desk on the first floor. The lobby bar is also on the first floor. The second basement level can accommodate 200 cars.

A five-star hotel in Sanya with 300 guest rooms, including 1 presidential suite, 20 executive suites, 160 double standard rooms, and the rest are king rooms. The gym and pool are located on the third floor. Kitchens are located on the second floor and first floor respectively. The basement houses receiving and rough processing areas. There is one banquet hall of 800 m² with a height of 7 m. There are 5 meeting rooms of 60 m² each, and one ADD restaurant with 100 seats. The lobby on the first floor is 2,000 m², with the reception desk on the first floor. The lobby bar is also on the first floor. The second basement level can accommodate 200 cars.

You have provided fairly complete project information. From the perspective of overall MEP coordination across all disciplines, I will first sort through the key elements — 300 guest rooms, Sanya climate conditions, banquet/F&B/pool/underground garage — and identify the controlling conditions and potential conflict points that each discipline must lock down in advance. The following is organized by discipline system, with a submission checklist and advancement recommendations at the end.

---

I. First, Clarify Several Global Controlling Conditions

1. Building Height and Classification

2. The Particularity of Sanya's Climate — This Is the Biggest Variable in This Project
---

II. HVAC Discipline (Key Focus)

1. Cooling Source Scheme

2. Zoning and Terminals
3. Kitchen Ventilation (1st Floor, 2nd Floor)
4. Pool (3rd Floor)
5. Smoke Control and Exhaust (GB 51251-2017)
---

III. Plumbing and Drainage Discipline

1. Water Supply Vertical Zoning (GB 50015-2019 Clause 3.4.5)

2. Domestic Hot Water
3. Drainage
4. Pool Water Treatment
---

IV. Electrical Discipline

1. Power Supply and Distribution

2. Lighting (GB 50034-2013, JGJ 62-2014)
3. Lightning Protection and Grounding
4. Electrical and Pool/Kitchen
---

V. Fire Protection Discipline (GB 50016, GB 50974, GB 50261)

1. Indoor Fire Hydrants

2. Automatic Sprinkler System
3. Fire Alarm
4. Fire Elevators
5. Fire Water Tank and Reservoir
---

VI. ELV and Intelligent Systems (GB 50314, GB 50311)

---

VII. Elevator Discipline (GB/T 7588, JGJ 62-2014)

---

VIII. Fit-Out Coordination Interfaces (Key Reminders)

---

IX. Information Required from Owner/Architectural Discipline for Prompt Confirmation

1. Final building height, number of floors, classification (Class I high-rise?);
2. Floor-to-floor heights, ceiling elevations, structural beam depths;
3. Roof equipment area location, load-bearing, wind resistance requirements;
4. Equipment room locations (chiller plant, pump room, substation, generator room, ELV room, fire reservoir);
5. Shafts (fresh air, exhaust, kitchen exhaust, water, electrical) locations and quantities;
6. Kitchen process information (ranges, exhaust hood locations, gas/electric);
7. Pool process information (basin, circulation, heating);
8. Banquet hall, meeting rooms operating conditions and partition requirements;
9. Brand MEP standards (Marriott/Hilton/IHG, etc.) — different brands have detailed requirements for guest room fresh air, hot water, illuminance, elevator configuration; must be locked in early.

---

X. Recommendations for Advancement

1. Initiate BIM MEP coordination immediately, especially basement, corridors, banquet hall, kitchen, pool areas;
2. Sanya climate special study: corrosion protection, typhoon resistance, dehumidification, fresh air pre-treatment — establish as a separate study;
3. Kitchen, pool, banquet hall as three major special subjects; recommend joint review by all disciplines;
4. Fire performance-based design (e.g., lobby void, large-space banquet hall) — coordinate with local fire review authority in advance;
5. Mock-up floor/room first to verify guest room MEP and fit-out coordination.

If you can provide building height, number of floors, brand standard, and roof equipment area conditions, I can further help you calculate key parameters such as cooling/heating source capacity, transformer capacity, number of elevators, and fire water tank volume to specific values, and output an MEP system configuration recommendation table.
