Bachelor of Engineering (Ord) Building Engineering (& Renewable Energy or Fire Safety)

A common entry BEng in Building Engineering (with award title of BEng in Building Engineering with Renewable Energy or BEng in Fire Safety Engineering). At the end of Stage 1, learners choose either the Building Engineering with Renewable Energy or Fire Safety Engineering pathway, having had the opportunity to decide which best suits their interests, skills and ability.

A building's services are the systems installed in a building that makes it comfortable, functional, efficient and safe to use. Building Services & Renewable Energy Engineers ensure that building energy services meet international environmental performance standards. This is done with the help of computer simulation tools to predict the likely performance of buildings during the design stages.

The Building Services Engineering profession spans the whole spectrum of construction, including the design and installation of 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
