Building services engineering

Under-supply technique we group today all technical measures together in rooms and buildings, but also premises and facilities, other than buildings, the energy supply (ie, for example, heating and lighting ) as well as the material supply (water, air) and the disposal of all waste products ( waste water) are used.

Branches of power engineering are the technical building equipment (TBE ) or the building, whose branch is in turn the building services. These terms are sometimes also used interchangeably. Supply technique involves doing a all types of buildings as well as plants, other than buildings, while the building with all the buildings, as well as non-residential buildings and industrial plants, employing and building equipment is primarily responsible for residential, office and similar buildings.

The purpose is always to make the building for residents and users "usable " and to perform various security tasks. On the one hand it usually necessary features such as sewerage, electricity supply or lighting. On the other hand, the concept of building services in all additional plants, which are used for automation of work in buildings.

Subregions

The HOAI divided the technical building equipment in six conditioning groups:

1 gas, water, sewage and fire extinguishing systems ( GWAF )

2nd heat supply, domestic water heating, ventilation and air conditioning ( WBR )

This area includes all fittings and equipment for

  • Heating and cooling
  • Domestic hot water systems and solar thermal systems
  • Heat pumps, CHP

  • Ice surfaces
  • Stage equipment, gas stations and car washes
  • Waste and paper chute systems

6 Medical and laboratory technology

In addition, disciplines such as acoustics and noise control and building construction and fire protection in the planning must be considered craft comprehensive. Due to the current climate change debate gain terms such as energy and renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly important. Physics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics provide the scientific basis for research, development and planning of new building concepts.

History

The building is not an invention of modern times, already in the earliest residential buildings / cabins are the first steps to find technical equipment. Even in ancient times the building had reached a high level, so you think, for example, to the water supply by means of aqueducts and piping systems ( lead pipes ) or operated even at the Cretans, and Roman underfloor heating by passage of flue gases in underlying chambers ( Hypokaustenheizung ).

Today

Since the modern building vastly more complex, a growing expertise on the various sectors of the building is necessary. Therefore, the individual sub- areas of the building on larger construction are awarded mainly to so-called planners or designers to work planning. The architect takes on only the coordination, as well as the decrease in individual planning services.

In the field of public administration in Germany, the working group are mechanical and electrical state and municipal administrations ( AMEV ) recommendations for planning, construction and operation of building services ( home automation) out. The German Armed Forces uses the " construction-related policies " (BFR ), which are created and issued by the Secretary of Defense.

Study

Supply technology is in Germany an independent course of study at colleges. In addition, it is offered at some ( technical ) universities as discipline in the context of process engineering or mechanical engineering studies. After the completion of studies was up to the winter semester 2005 /06 academic degree " Dipl. -Ing. ( FH) " award. By now, most colleges have changed their curricula to the internationally widespread tiered system. Graduates of these courses lead the title "Bachelor of Engineering" or " Master of Engineering "

At universities, the departments have often developed specializations or disciplines of their study program. The most common field of study should be the technical building equipment. In addition, specializations such as energy and environmental technologies, waste technology and facility management exist.
