Imagine yourself in the most fabulous building in the world. Now take away the lighting, heating and ventilation, the lifts and escalators, acoustics, plumbing, power supply and energy management systems, the security and safety systems...and you are left with a cold, dark, uninhabitable shell.

Everything inside a building which makes it safe and comfortable to be in comes under the title of 'Building Services'. A building must do what it was designed to do - not just provide shelter but also be an environment where people can live, work and achieve.

Building Services are what makes a building come to life. They include:

1. Energy supply - gas , electricity and renewable sources
2. Heating and ventilating
3. Water , drainage and plumbing
4. Daylighting and artificial lighting
5. Escalators and lifts
6. Ventilation and refrigeration
7. Harnessing solar, wind and biomass energy
8. Communications, telephones and IT networks
9. Security and alarm systems
10. Fire detection and protection
11. Air conditioning and refrigeration
12. Facade engineering
13. Sound proofing & noise reduction
14. Doorways and security

In every place that you see these services...building services engineers have designed, installed and maintain them in working order.

Imagine the air filtration systems you'd need in a forensic laboratory. The heating controls in a special care baby unit? How to control bacteria and humidity in an operating theatre? What about security systems at the HQ of MI5? Lighting the Wembley Stadium? Coping with a power cut in the dealing room of a City banker? This is everyday work for L&B Technical's building services engineers.
