Frequently asked questions
You have questions, we have answers. Here we present the most frequently asked questions about technical building equipment.
What does technical building equipment include?
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Technical building equipment includes all technical installations and systems in a building that are necessary for operation, safety, comfort and functionality of a building. This includes a large number of trades and systems.
What is technical building equipment planning?
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Technical Building Equipment planning is a process in which all technical systems and facilities of a building are designed and planned. This ensures that all systems function efficiently, sustainably and safely. The planning includes the conception, design, calculation and integration of the various technical components of a building.
Which trades belong to technical building equipment?

The technical building equipment trades comprise various specialist areas:
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) Temperature control and air treatment systems
- Sanitary engineering Water and wastewater systems, including drinking water supply and wastewater disposal
- Electrical engineering Electrical installations, lighting, security systems
- Fire protection Fire protection systems such as sprinkler systems and fire detectors
- I&C technology (measurement and control technology) Systems for monitoring and controlling technical installations.
technical building equipment also include the following groups of systems. In the brackets you will find the corresponding cost groups of DIN 276*:
- Sewage, water and gas installations (KG 410)
- Heat supply systems (KG 420)
- Ventilation and air conditioning systems (KG 430)
- Power installations (KG 440)
- Telecommunications and information technology equipment (KG 450)
- Conveyor systems (KG 460)
- Utilization-specific and process engineering systems (KG 470)
- Building automation (KG 480) and automation of engineering structures (KG 480)
*The DIN 276 is a German standard that regulates costs in the construction industry. It is published by the German Institute for Standardization (DIN) and defines the Principles of cost planning and control in the construction industry.
What do technical building equipment planners and engineers do?
Your Subtitle Goes Here
A Technical building equipment engineer or planner is responsible for the planning and implementing of technical systems in a building. That includes:
- Planning and design: Creating plans and drawings for the technical systems
- Calculations: Carrying out calculations for dimensioning the systems
- Monitoring: Monitoring the installation and commissioning of the technical systems to ensure that they function correctly and efficiently
What services are included in technical building equipment planning?
Technical building equipment and energy efficiency
The use of energy-efficient technologies and intelligent control systems in building services can achive considerable energy savings. Examples of measures to increase energy efficiency in building services include
- the use of heat recovery systems,
- the use of energy-efficient heating and cooling systems,
- the integration of photovoltaic systems and
- the optimization of lighting using LED technology and presence-controlled lighting systems.
In addition, building automation systems contribute to optimizing energy consumption through demand-based control and monitoring of all technical systems.
