Positive Energy Austin We have long been electrification evangelists and regularly find ourselves on the front lines of the electrification conversations that turn the supertanker. We push hard for our projects to not use fossil fuels and have even recused ourselves from projects that refuse to 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. 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.

SCET RYK Rahim Yar Khan SCET RYK is an important component of the network of technical colleges spread all over Pakistan. The academic and vocational courses and degrees are aimed at the sustainability, health and education of the masses of the poorest section of the society. We contribute towards the goals of MEO 2040 by updating the courses by research and practical experience of teaching and research in engineering and technology of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
SERA Architects Portland SERA recognizes that the climate crisis isn’t simply a challenge to our world’s ecological systems, it threatens humanity on a scale unprecedented in history. And it impacts our already vulnerable, underprivileged populations most. For many years, we’ve held sustainability as a basic tenet of our work – centering on holistic, integrated design processes. Our approach to sustainability is broad - including resource management, well-being, and over 30 other topic areas. Recently, we’ve intensified our focus on climate impacts. We’re analyzing, tracking, and working to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in the full portfolio of our projects, including embodied and operational carbon.
The Green Engineer Concord The Green Engineer is already committed to reducing embodied carbon through the wbLCA services that we offer, so this commitment directly aligns with our service and company goals. We are also telling our clients that we are committing to reducing embodied carbon through MEP design  design. We’re also exposing ourselves to firms we haven’t worked with before that have committed to these goals.
The Miller Hull Partnership LLP Seattle We are fully committed to reducing carbon in all of our projects, and fully support and encourage our MEP partners to do the same.
The Passive House Network New York As a national Passive House organization and industry educator, we are not only deeply committed to radically reducing operational building emissions but also deeply support addressing embodied carbon so that buildings can maximize their climate mitigation impact.
The Plant Ridgewood The Plant is a prototype for the future of green building technology, centralizing the most state-of-the-art innovations in one place - a former coal burning power plant 30 min outside of NYC that was built to power Grand Central Station in 1907. The Plant will be Net Zero (embodied and operational) Carbon at occupancy.
Turner Construction Company Batlimore Turner is fully committed to the decarbonization of the built environment. We actively pursue opportunities to engage, learn from, and support industry partners in areas which we do not necessarily have direct control. MEP system design is one of those areas. We recognize the importance that MEP system design plays in reducing the overall embodied and operational carbon in buildings and are excited that the MEP engineering community has initiated this Commitment.
WAP Sustainability Consulting Nashville Committing to help MEP Manufacturers understand their embodied carbon impacts.
WRNS Studio San Francisco We believe it will take a village to make the change necessary in the next few years, and we applaud, support and recognize the creativity and bravery of the MEP firms who ensure the designs we work on together are healthier, resilient and beautiful. We are excited to listen, learn from and assist in the effort to reduce operational and embodied carbon.
ZGF Architects Portland ZGF Architects is committed to carbon neutral architecture, including operational and embodied emissions.  The MEP 2040 Commitment is aligned with these goals, and we encourage our engineering partners to join us in this important endeavor.
