Building engineering physics, along with other aspects of building science, is taught as a minor part of a limited number of engineering degree courses in the United Kingdom. In other parts of the world building science is afforded greater significance in both education and industry. It is apparent that countries such as the Netherlands, with well established university teaching and research in building sciences, lead the UK in terms of delivering low carbon buildings. Few people in the UK built environment field even recognise the importance of building engineering physics, let alone know how to apply the principles in the design of buildings. Building projects are traditionally led by.
