EwingCole, the design team behind one of the world’s largest verified, commercial Zero Net Energy buildings, recently signed on to the MEP 2040 Commitment set out by the Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF). This is the fourth commitment the firm has signed, further strengthening its broader mission to bring the built environment into alignment with the health of our communities and the planet.

At Glumac, we are “Engineers for a Sustainable Future,” and we understand that technological advancements are forging a clean and resilient future at a pace never seen. And we understand that we are exceptionally positioned to have a measurable impact on carbon reductions through our innovative MEPLT engineering and building sciences consulting and commissioning.

At HEAPY, we are driven by purpose to build a sustainable, well, and more resilient society. As a signatory, HEAPY strongly believes in the goals outlined by the MEP 2040 Challenge and is committed to engaging in meaningful, measurable action to ensure these goals are achieved. Our plan outlines strategies towards meeting our commitment, which include equipping our colleagues with training and knowledge.

HGA is an interdisciplinary professional services firm committed to making a positive, lasting impact for our clients and communities through research-based, holistic solutions. We believe that great outcomes require a sense of curiosity - forming deep insights, their context, and the human condition. In this vein, HGA has signed on to the MEP 2040 Commitment.

HOK is a global design, architecture, engineering and planning firm collaborating across a network of offices on three continents. We are committed to benchmarking, tracking, and reducing both operational and embodied carbon through innovative research and design strategies, including structural optimization, high performance building systems, sustainable material selection, and restorative ecosystems.

This Whole Carbon Action Plan serves as IMEG’s comprehensive strategy for achieving substantial carbon reductions while aligning with industry-leading initiatives, including MEP 2040. Our plan prioritizes tracking, measuring, and mitigating carbon emissions across all phases. Current tasks include our first MEP Whole Life Carbon Assessment, a portfolio-wide carbon dashboard, and specifications and automations

LEO A DALY’s Sustainability Action Plan outlines our firm-wide approach to climate-conscious design through education, advocacy, and integrated practice. The plan highlights our alignment with national commitments—including MEP 2040, AIA 2030, SE 2050, and the AIA Materials Pledge—and provides a framework for collaborative, discipline-specific action across our architecture and engineering teams.

At Michaud Cooley Erickson, we are committed to being leaders in decarbonization. For our team, sustainable design is a necessity; it’s inherent to our processes and culture. Our goal is to design buildings whose construction and operation do not contribute to global warming. Our commitment encompasses design methodologies and efforts to educate, engage, learn, and advocate for our mission.

At PAE, our vision is a world with clean air, energy, and water for all. As MEP engineers and leaders in our field, the path to a sustainable climate is in our hands. PAE has had the opportunity to design some of the world’s highest-performing buildings, tackling seemingly unattainable goals. We have developed a framework to align our work with the challenge and advance our vision for a sustainable future.

SOM was one of the first design and engineering firms to join the World Green Building Council’s Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment. In 2022, we became a carbon neutral business by applying strategies to reduce emissions across our global operations, together with carefully selected carbon offsets as we continue to reduce our environmental impact.

We will reduce operational and embodied carbon across MEP systems on all projects, targeting zero by 2040, and will report progress annually. We will request low-GWP refrigerants, request EPDs in project specifications for MEP system components, and participate in quarterly MEP 2040 forums and CLF community discussions.

Through a phased process, Windward will work towards designing net zero on all projects by 2040. Highlights of Windwards plan include: • Design all new construction projects to be net-zero in operation by 2035. • Reduce MEP related embodied carbon in all new construction, major retrofits, and infrastructure projects by 50% by 2030.
