Overview of MEP 2040

  • Presentation slide titled 'Inviting MEP to the Embodied Carbon Party' dated February 11, 2021, with a graphic illustrating the life cycle of construction materials from extraction to end of life, including stages like procurement, construction, in use, and end of life.

    Inviting MEP to the Embodied Carbon Party

    Introducing embodied carbon to MEP manufacturers. Why it is important, what it is, and a case study.

  • A bar chart illustrating projected reductions in carbon emissions and increased energy efficiency from 2015 to 2050, with categories for embodied carbon, operational carbon, renewable energy, and efficiency improvements, for three planning scenarios: AIA 2030, SE 2050, and MEP 2040.

    How does MEP 2040 align with AIA 2030 and SE 2050?

    These three complementary commitments by architects, structural engineers, MEP system engineers, and manufacturers work together to dramatically reduce the lifetime carbon footprint of buildings.
