With the increasing presence of "greenhouse" gases and carbon emissions in the earth's atmosphere and with buildings responsible for approximately 40-50% of the world's energy use, a major contributor to carbon emissions, the use of Low Energy & Sustainable Building Services Engineering concepts has been pushed to the forefront in an effort to combat and slow the degradation of the earth's ozone layer. As such, worldwide, Building Services Engineers are charged with a responsibility to sensitise and introduce prospective & existing clients to the benefits of incorporating Low Energy and Sustainable Design Concepts in buildings.

At WM+A our Low Energy & Sustainability Building Services Engineering skills include the design, specification, and supervision of the following:

Dynamic Software Modelling & Simulation of the Thermal Performance of Buildings.
