Building Services Engineering is the systematic design, installation, and maintenance of integrated systems of mechanical and electrical services that are necessary for the safe, comfortable, and efficient operation of buildings and other structures. As part of the design process, a Building Services Engineer will consider the energy efficiency, user comfort, energy and water conservation, health and safety, and the overall economic and environmental sustainability of the design. Building Services Engineering is an essential component of the design process, and must be considered in the early stages of the development. Building Services Engineers must take into account the design, control, and coordination of the services, as well as the integration of the various systems into the overall building design. As part of the design process, the design of the systems must be tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the individual building and its occupants. Building Services Engineering requires an in-depth knowledge of both the design and the engineering, as well as an understanding of the building structure, environmental conditions, and user requirements.

Building services engineering is a term used in the architecture and construction industry that covers the design, installation, and management of the various mechanical systems found in buildings. It spans a variety of disciplines, such as heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, electrical, water supply, drainage, and waste disposal. The aim of building services engineering is to ensure that these systems are designed to meet the needs of the building occupants and to provide a comfortable environment for the people living or working inside. Building services engineers take into account the problems of air quality, energy conservation and health and safety in order to provide a cost-effective, safe and sustainable solution.
