Building Services Engineering is a highly creative and specialist engineering discipline. The profession works across the whole spectrum of industries that exist to service buildings, from the design and installation of systems to the manufacture of equipment and components. Light, heating, water, lifts and ventilation - everything that makes buildings safe and comfortable for the people who use them - are planned, designed and monitored by building services engineers.
Buildings use up to 50% of world energy use and produce up to 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. Building services engineers are responsible for ensuring that the systems designed are sustainable: not only should they be energy efficient but also cost-effective throughout their life-cycle. No profession offers you more scope to make a real impact on conservation.
Building Services directly influence our day-to-day quality of life. They dictate the comfort, functionality, health and safety of the buildings we use everyday. Building Services designers have a major influence on the productivity of both equipment and people.
