BUILDING ENGINEERING

• A program supplying its graduates with knowledge
  on the Integrated Design of built facilities.
• Unlike structural, architectural, etc.,
  engineers, Building Engineers can efficiently
  deal with a Wider Range of problems in the
  construction industry
• Lighting, Acoustics Indoor Air Quality,
• Construction Management,
• HVAC, etc.
• Efficiently improving the Overall Performance of
  buildings through their Whole Lifecycle.
• Providing Energy Efficient buildings.
• Efficiently contributing to the current national
  efforts of providing Affordable Suitable
  housing for people.
