The aim of this unit is that learners will demonstrate knowledge of the basic concepts and principles of building services engineering, explaining how these systems contribute to sustainability in the built environment. Learners will evaluate different building services systems, discussing their functions, characteristics, and implications for building performance and environmental sustainability.

Learners will effectively use sustainable design principles to select and integrate appropriate building services systems, ensuring that their choices align with best practices in sustainability and energy efficiency. Learners will critically assess the performance of various building services systems, analysing their energy efficiency, environmental implications, and adherence to relevant regulations and standards, and making recommendations for improvement.

This unit will focus on understanding building services engineering principles, analysing systems' impacts, applying sustainable design principles, and evaluating system performance in the context of sustainability.
