Content of studies
Building services engineering guarantees safe, healthy and pleasant indoor air in buildings, dependable water supply services and functional lighting, electrical and communication systems. Energy efficiency, building automation systems and information technology applications are essential parts of modern building services engineering. The starting point in the programme is sustainable development, energy efficiency and economic profitability, as well as entrepreneurship and international thinking.
You will learn to understand natural scientific phenomena and to apply knowledge in solving problems at work and in development tasks. Students will explore new energy technologies, life-cycle thinking and the environmental effects of building services engineering and learn to understand how indoor air affects people’s health. In addition, the programme includes studies in other fields of building services engineering, such as construction engineering, electrical engineering, automation engineering and safety engineering.
