Building Services Engineering makes buildings meet the needs of the people who live and work in them. Buildings do more than provide shelter from the heat and cold, or from sun, wind and rain; they must also provide a safe and healthy environment in which people can live, work and achieve. Building Services Engineers are the people who make this happen. They creatively apply scientific principles to design the buildings we need.
