Building Services
Specialization (2): Building Systems
The technical field of building systems deals with ventilation, heating, cooling, and lighting to provide a comfortable indoor climate; it also deals with the energy performance of building envelope constructions. These topics are closely related to the quantification of user comfort level offered by the technical services, the building envelope, and the overall energy efficiency.
