Building Engineering

A building’s services are the systems installed in it that make it comfortable, functional, efficient, and safe to use. Building services and renewable energy engineers ensure that building energy services meet international environmental performance standards. They use computer simulation tools to predict a building’s likely performance during the design stages. The Building Services Engineering profession spans the whole construction spectrum, including designing and installing engineering systems such as renewable energy, heating and power distribution, project management, facilities management and maintenance. In any new construction project, Building Services and Renewable Energy systems typically account for 30-40% of the total cost, and buildings account for almost 50% of carbon emissions. Building Services and Renewable Energy Engineering is at the forefront of the challenges facing society.
