Inviting MEP to the Embodied Carbon Party
MEP systems contribute to both the initial construction and lifetime embodied carbon footprint of an example office building. This MEP footprint begins at construction and grows over time is due to operations, refrigerant leakage, and replacement.
The Sustainable MEP Leaders group, organized by BuildingGreen, is a group of motivated individuals, representing many of the leading engineering firms in North America, including most of the signatories on this letter. Our teams include tens of thousands of MEP engineers practicing in the US market.
