I was privileged to be on the accreditation panel of the London South Bank University Building Service degree courses and was very impressed with what the students are learning. If all Building Services professionals are equipped with that level of knowledge in the future the quality and efficiency of how buildings operate will improve no end so that we can all enjoy more comfortable, affordable office space that is more forgiving on the environment. All credit to LSBU for ensuring that the courses have evolved to meet the today’s challenges and opportunities, especially improving the efficiency of existing building stock.
