Build Nexus

For Architects, Engineers & Trades

For engineers, LL97 is both a challenge and an opportunity. The law places mechanical systems at the center of compliance—and that puts engineers in a position of significant influence and responsibility.

Mechanical Engineers at the Center

HVAC systems are often the biggest drivers of building emissions. Engineers must:

• Optimize existing systems for current compliance
• Design low-carbon alternatives for future needs
• Balance performance with cost

Data-Driven Design

Engineering decisions must be backed by:

• Energy modeling
• Emissions projections
• Lifecycle cost analysis

Intuition alone is no longer sufficient. Every recommendation needs to be defensible against compliance targets.

Coordination is Critical

Engineers must align with architects, contractors, and owners. Misalignment leads to rework, delays, and ultimately, non-compliant outcomes that cost everyone more.

The Bottleneck Problem

Demand for qualified engineers is rising rapidly. This creates:

• Capacity constraints across the market
• Longer project timelines
• Increased fees

Engineers who can work efficiently within coordinated teams will be in the highest demand.

How Build Nexus Helps Engineers

Build Nexus:

• Streamlines project coordination across all stakeholders
• Reduces administrative overhead
• Connects engineers with qualified, well-scoped projects

Allowing engineers to focus on high-value technical work—not chasing information or managing misaligned teams.
