Increasingly, it’s an industry referred to as environmental engineering, and we’re very comfortable with that. Where once the engineer’s lot was ‘pipes and wires’, now it encompasses everything from daylighting and acoustics to building physics and sustainability. In essence, everything that impacts on the internal environment of a building and its performance. Their approach differs from that of conventional environmental building services engineers. Each member of their team is trai... ned in electrical and mechanical engineering, environmental design and building physics. This training takes place in-house, creating an integrated understanding that considers the whole building. Their deliver buildings that work, with a focus on detail and finish, to ensure their engineering serves the architecture. It's the way Max trained his team and it's an approach that has endured.
