In this episode, Marcus Hazelwood sits down with Anastasia Mylona, Technical Director at CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers), to explore how building services engineering is shaping a sustainable future.

Anastasia shares her insights on developing UK’s Part O regulations to address overheating in new dwellings, the growing importance of embodied carbon and circular economy principles, and how AI is transforming design, analysis, and building performance. She also dives into challenges around refrigerants, sustainable cooling, and why collaboration between academia, industry, and policymakers is key to reaching net zero targets.

Whether you’re an architect, engineer, or sustainability advocate, this conversation highlights the urgent priorities, technical innovations, and communication strategies needed to make buildings climate-resilient while inspiring the next generation of engineers.
