Course Introduction
Modern buildings depend heavily on complex mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to deliver comfort, safety, and functionality. However, managing these systems effectively requires both technical knowledge and practical management skills. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of building services — including heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), electrical systems, lighting, water supply, drainage, fire safety, and controls — along with the methods needed to operate and maintain them efficiently.
Participants will explore how building services interact with one another and how to manage them for maximum performance, energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and safety. The training also covers maintenance planning, sustainability measures, and troubleshooting techniques. By bridging the gap between engineering and management, this course equips facilities and operations professionals to make informed, cost-effective decisions about building systems.
