The term building engineering physics was introduced in January 2010 commissioned by The Royal Academy of Engineering. The report, entitled Engineering a Low Carbon Built Environment: The Discipline of Building Engineering Physics, presents the initiative of the Royal Academy of Engineering in the field of fossil fuel dependence while working for the future . The field of building engineering physics and the construction of a new field of engineering. The application of building engineering physics allows the construction and renovation of high performance, energy efficient buildings, while minimizing their environmental impacts. Keywords: air movement, thermal performance, control of moisture, ambient energy, acoustics, light, climate and biology. This field employs creative ways of handling these main aspects of a building’s indoor and outdoor environments. Building engineering physics is unique from other established applied sciences or engineering professions as it combines the sciences of architecture, engineering and human biology and physiology. Building engineering physics not only addresses energy efficiency and building sustainability, but also the building’s internal environment conditions that affect the comfort and performance levels of its occupants. Throughout the 20th century, a large percentage of buildings were completely dependent on fossil fuels. Rather than focusing on energy efficiency, architects and engineers were more concerned with experimenting with “new materials and structural forms” to further aesthetic ideals. Now in the 21st century, building energy performance standards are pushing towards zero carbon standards in old and new buildings. The threat of global change and the need for energy independence and sustainability. A significant way to meet these standards is in the construction of buildings that minimize environmental impacts, and the refurbishing of older buildings to meet carbon emission standards. The application of building engineering physics can help in this transition to reduce energy dependents, provide for the demands of a growing population and better standard of living. Growth in the application of this field is largely due to the introduction of the regulations for carbon emissions to demonstrate compliance, principally the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Unfortunately, the discipline of building engineering physics is severely impaired by the lack of education in the industry. Very few in the construction industry know how to apply the principles of engineering physics and do not have interdisciplinary experience.
