Programme Description

Building Services focuses on the design of healthy, sustainable and intelligent buildings. A great deal of attention is given to the total design process of buildings and installations, with the emphasis on optimizing the interior environment of a building while at the same time retaining its architectural qualities. The achievement of this kind of good residential or working environment demands the right design and a good integration of the different building-related installations.

Consultation between the architect, engineer and installation technologist is essential at an early stage of the building design process. Building-related installations can include systems for hospitals, laboratories and production processes, as well as smart homes and `domotics´.

The Master´s degree program in Building Services is a multidisciplinary program at the TU/e. The Architecture, Building and Planning, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mathematics and Computer Science departments are directly involved in the teaching program. Building Services involves the study of eight main themes: Design methodology, Health and comfort, Integrated building design, Heath and moisture in building envelopes, Building performance simulation, Sustainable building systems, Intelligent buildings and Safety buildings. These themes are covered in lectures, and you can deepen your knowledge through projects and electives. Your final project in most cases consists of an assignment that is linked to one of these themes.

In the Master´s degree program Building Services you can graduate in one of the following areas:

- Health and comfort
- Integral building and system design
- Building performance simulation
- Sustainable building systems
- Intelligent Buildings
- Building services and management

You also choose six electives for your specialization (Architecture, Building and Planning, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Engineering etc.) and two electives that you are free to choose.
