Sweco’s integrated building services engineering & consultancy solutions fuse ESG-focused performance advisory with innovative, wellbeing-first design.
Our highly regarded mechanical, electrical and public health experts, sustainability teams and certification specialists collaborate with clients across the UK to transform vision into reality – with a unique blend of creativity and commercial pragmatism at the heart of everything we do.
With chartered engineers, façade specialists, Passivhaus designers and award-winning embodied carbon experts all under one roof, we draw on Sweco’s Scandinavian heritage and international insights to shape our truly holistic approach to sustainable building solutions. It means you can look forward to joined-up building performance consultancy throughout your project’s lifecycle – from initial concept scoping and design to construction supervision, EPC assessment and analysis, ESG support and certification advisory.
We understand that the best building services MEP systems sympathetically blend architecture, sustainability and engineering. And this in turn can create environments that excite, are healthy, promote wellbeing and increase productivity.
Sweco’s MEP consultancy and cross-sector building performance solutions represent a fusion of all our specialist services – combining a broad skill set of mechanical and electrical design and sustainability expertise to optimise how a building ‘lives and breathes’ – with a proud track record in life sciences, hotels, commercial and healthcare spaces.
As market leaders in sustainable, high-quality building services design and engineering, we are also recognised for our trusted advice and technical acumen in carbon reduction and management, lifecycle analysis and infrastructure planning.
Our specialisms span adaptive reuse, retrofit, interior fit-outs, decarbonisation strategy and new build masterplanning – with façade, fire engineering and sustainability teams working cohesively to provide an all-encompassing proposition that allows clients in all sectors to achieve longevity, cost-efficiency and reliability across the sites we plan and build for them.
From vertical transportation to premise-wide building network engineering and green certification/ESG reporting advisory support, our teams can also integrate the latest smart buildings technology into any aspect of MEP across your your building asset portfolio for long-term, cost-effective and future-proof energy, heating, water and network performance.
Sustainability first
By modelling, planning, designing and implementing efficient – and experiential – systems for key elements of a building’s infrastructure, we bring Sustainable Design to life with low-carbon materials and circular economy methodologies at the heart of our approach.
We are at the forefront of sustainable building design seeking to work collaboratively within design teams to embed sustainable solutions from the outset – and promote circular economy principles at every opportunity. We pride ourselves on our continuous professional development and the long-lasting relationships we have built with suppliers, which in turn enable us to innovate and deliver creative and pioneering designs with emerging technologies.
Our ability to design full building services and bespoke MEP systems that integrate sympathetically with the building architecture, whilst maintaining a clear focus on reducing operational energy and materials usage through smart engineering practices, sets us apart as true society-transformers.
With a reputation for innovative design solutions, our building services engineering consultants are committed to delivering efficient outcomes that positively contribute to the environment. We aim to create healthy buildings and healthy spaces, that benefit the people who will live and work within them. Our success in technical innovation involves working closely with academic, industry and research institutions.
Sweco is proud to have partnered with the Better Building Partnership (BBP) since 2019 and is championing Design for Performance-processes across our projects. Building upon our digital offering of Revit for spatial coordination, BIM and Smart Building System Integration, we are also creating ‘Digital Twins’ of our MEP systems to steer design decision-making and minimise operational energy usage.
Whole Life Cycle Analysis via our specialist Embodied Carbon team is helping to shape our Building Services Design Solutions. Responding to the RIBA Climate Emergency Targets, we seek to develop our designs with an emphasis to reduce material, early consideration to circularity and helping to inform our clients to make clear decisions when it comes to the carbon impact of a development.
Building performance evaluation and analysis
With specialists across all elements of building services, we are well-placed to offer expertise and process partnership for:
Architectural thermal modelling analysis
Digital twin energy modelling
Green Building Certifications (BREEAM, WELL, LEED)
The green transition is a global shift towards sustainable practices and technologies aimed at reducing environmental impact, combating climate change, and promoting circular economy methodology.
For Sweco, looking at projects through the green transition lens is key to our Transforming society together mission, allowing us to act as true #DifferenceMakers as we change the world around us one project at a time across buildings, critical infrastructure and mobility.
By drawing on our 200+ disciplines – both individually and by working together under a collaborative service-wrap – we aim to be a role model in the green transition, and be a key part of the answer to society’s sustainability and carbon reduction challenges
Together with our clients and the collective knowledge of our engineers, consultants and other specialists, we co-create solutions to address urbanisation, capture the power of digitalisation, and make our societies more sustainable. With international multi-disciplinary teams, we can call on the right insight and technical capability at the right time from across Buildings, Infrastructure, Advisory & Planning and Compliance.
