Building Engineering
Building engineering is concerned with the planning, design, construction, operation, renovation, and maintenance of
buildings. This encompasses the exploration of all phases of the life cycle of a building as an advanced technological
system, and brings into consideration the impacts of buildings on their surrounding environment, as well as the
impacts of the surrounding environment on buildings.
