Building engineering

Building engineering as a discipline Building engineering is an emerging engineering discipline, better known in the US as architectural engineering, that offers a general engineering approach to the planning, design, construction, operation, renovation, and maintenance of buildings, as well as with their impacts on the surrounding environment. The discipline requires pertinent knowledge integrated from traditional well-established disciplines:Civil engineering for building structures and foundation;Mechanical engineering for Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning system (HVAC), and for mechanical service systems;Physics for building science, lighting and acoustics.Electrical engineering for power distribution, control, and electrical systems;Chemistry and biology for indoor air quality;Architecture for form, function, building codes and specifications;Economics for project management.
