Integral Group
|
Oakland |
We help our clients understand the whole life environmental impacts of their designs both at the architecture and MEP level to make the best decisions. MEP systems can have a huge impact on global warming both from an operational and embodied carbon perspective. Up to 50% of the embodied carbon impact of a new building comes from MEP systems and yet most life cycle analysts rely on estimates varying widely from reality. To address this problem Integral Group has committed to a five-year research plan to advance and share knowledge in embodied carbon in MEP design with the whole industry (e.g. through CIBSE publications). Joining the MEP2040 Challenge was a natural extension to the work we have already committed to, and we look forward to collaborating with other partners to accelerate the industry. |
Jaros Baum & Bolles

Positive Energy
|
Austin |
Signing this commitment is a gesture that confirms where we have been as engineers for many years. We have long been electrification evangelists and regularly find ourselves on the front lines of the electrification conversations that turn the supertanker. The hardest part has been not losing heart in the face of apathy. We push hard for our projects to not use fossil fuels and have even recused ourselves from projects that refuse see past the status quo. The stunned expressions from our clients speaks to their surprise that we care about our values so much as to do that. We are working intentionally working at the place where engineering and architecture converge. It’s not always a pleasant place to be but we are finding it to be the most effective leverage point. The architectural design process itself is a “technology” that can be optimized and outcome focussed. The process where the clients/owners/developers call the shots needs to end. They often have the least expertise and perspective. In the same way that we promote passive house quality enclosures without offering a choice, we specify heat pumps for space and water heating as standard and don’t give fossil fuel options. We are also true believers in the power of education and advocacy. We know it works. Along that line we are eager to share an interview w/ anyone at MEP2040/CLF who was instrumental in putting this together. Honestly it’s been on our minds here at Positive Energy to set something like this up – ever since hearing about SE2030 many years ago. That being said, education can only go so far. We are at a time where societal forces need to shift and we need to get beyond just talking about change. Knowing how to build sustainably is insufficient, we need to cause that to happen. Which is why the power of a commitment is an important and necessary step on the path forward. As mammals, we are far more relational than rational. What is important now is that the MEP “peer group” signals that its values and actions are changing. |
