Arup's mechanical engineers provide simple and elegant solutions that enhance the long-term value of properties. Our experience encompasses passive and energy-efficient solutions that contribute to sustainable building design, and appraisal and retrofit for better performing services in existing buildings.

When thoughtfully designed, mechanical services such as ventilation, heating and cooling can go unnoticed. Yet these essential services help make offices and apartments attractive to tenants, and hotels appealing to guests. At their best they are resource-efficient, easy to control and maintain, and adaptable.

We integrate mechanical, electrical and environmental services engineering to deliver complete building services for projects of all types. Many clients want to find balance between commercial performance, usability, comfort and sustainability. Such balanced solutions demand coordination. Our mechanical engineers regularly collaborate – with façade designers and environmental physicists, for instance – to attain all-round performance.

We regularly go beyond standard mechanical engineering solutions to create a better balance for clients. Exceptional solutions often emerge from Arup's sophisticated use of design tools such as energy modelling and thermal software. Our mechanical engineers are at the forefront of 3D modelling and building information modelling (BIM), which support seamless virtual prototyping and maintenance management.

Arup delivers global best practice through locally relevant mechanical engineering services worldwide. Our specialists are active in their professional communities, closely connected with the sectors they work in and positively involved in shaping guidance on local building codes worldwide.
