Building Performance Leaders Network
For MEP and Energy Experts
A connection point for the most forward-thinking MEP and energy experts across North America.
Chart a path toward high-performance, low-carbon, human-centered buildings while accelerating the transition to a climate-aligned built environment.
This network, formerly known as the Sustainable MEP Leaders network, helped spark MEP 2040, a movement to radically reduce total carbon emissions associated with building systems through collective action.
The MEP 2040 Challenge asks engineers to advocate for and achieve net zero carbon in their projects: operational carbon by 2030 and embodied carbon by 2040.
