Overview

The construction and building services industry is at a crossroads. For decades, MEP engineers and contractors have focused primarily on operational energy efficiency-making sure systems consume less electricity, water, and fuel during the building's life. Yet, a much larger footprint has often been overlooked: the embodied carbon embedded in HVAC systems, piping, ductwork, pumps, and equipment. With the rising global urgency to tackle climate change, governments, certification bodies, and building owners are demanding more. Concepts once seen as optional-reuse, repair, and material circularity-are rapidly becoming mandatory. This book introduces a practical, engineering-focused guide to the Circular Economy in building services, focusing on HVAC and MEP systems. Here, you will learn how to design systems that can be repaired, refurbished, and reused instead of discarded, reducing carbon impact, saving resources, and complying with evolving green building standards. Whether you are specifying a chiller, designing ductwork, or managing a plantroom, this book provides a framework to make circularity a core principle of your engineering practice. This is not just theory-it is a roadmap for engineers, contractors, and building managers who want to be ahead of regulations and market expectations while contributing to a sustainable future.
