Smart Building Infrastructure Systems

Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

Hochschule Darmstadt Darmstadt · Hesse

About the Program

A modern building infrastructure puts complex demands on comfort, security and energy efficiency. This begins with the planning and dimensioning of buildings and their building systems technology, continues through the construction and usage phase, and ends with the dismantling and recycling of components and materials. In order to meet these interdisciplinary challenges, know-how is needed in the electrical engineering sub-areas of automation, energy and communication technology in conjunction with civil engineering and architecture. In the bachelor's degree course in building systems engineering, future engineers learn in six semesters the essential basics for holistically planning, optimising and ecologically evaluating buildings in terms of energy and information flows. Important course contents include: Intelligent technical building equipment, Building automation / building communication, building information modeling, Interaction between architecture and technology, Energy-efficient air conditioning and heating technology, Project management and practical experience.
