The importance of building services to the success of an organisation has never
been greater and continues to grow. Developers and occupiers are becoming more
aware of the contribution that building services make to the well being of
occupants and hence their perception of the quality of the working environment.
Those involved with the design, construction, maintenance and operation will
increasingly be required to deliver building services that demonstrable
contribution to the occupier's business.
Energy efficiency, carbon management and occupant satisfaction depend
substantially on the way building services are designed, managed and operated.
To optimise these aspects, an informed strategic approach is essential. Tried
and tested techniques and processes are available that, when applied
holistically, will deliver substantial benefits.
