ALL PARTY BUILDING SERVICES
ENGINEERING GROUP
Building services engineering is the collection of intellectual and practical skills needed to make the built environment a comfortable safe, efficient and sustainable place for people to live, work and play. It embraces the electro-technical, heating and ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and plumbing industries in the UK.

The objectives of the All Party Parliamentary Building Services Engineering Group – which was formed on 13 June 2006 – are:

• to provide a forum to raise awareness of the principal issues
  within building services engineering, in particular with regard
  to operation, training, diversity and public knowledge;
  
• to encourage and facilitate a cohesive political approach
  towards the building services engineering sector;
  
• to inform decision makers and assist in the information
  of policy relating to building services engineering;
  
• to highlight the contribution that can be made to sustainability and,
  in particular, energy efficiency by the building services profession.
