Building services engineers are concerned with aspects in the building such as the air quality, lighting, etc. It is vitally important that they understand not only the vision for the building but also the practical needs of the buildings users. Building services have a very large impact upon the quality of life of the building’s occupants.
Building Services Engineers responsibilities in the DQI process:
- Attend the DQI workshops
- Assist the design team in the presentation of the designs to the workshop attendees
- Provide practical information about the building’s services to the Assessment group to help them understand the current design
- Provide information about the systems intended for the building allowing the assessment group to assess their worth
- Understand the priorities of the Assessment group
- Consult with the architect to ensure that any refined designs are achievable and meet the requirements of the building’s users
