Mastering Building Systems: A Technical Facilities Management Training Course for MEP, HVAC and Engineering Assets (Online / Remote)
1Summary
A single HVAC breakdown, electrical fault, or plumbing failure can shut down an entire facility, disrupt operations, and put safety at risk. Managing the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems that keep buildings running is one of the most technically demanding — and most critical — responsibilities in facilities management.
The Mastering Building Systems training course, offered by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy within Management and Training Courses In Facilities Management, builds the technical knowledge participants need to manage HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, strengthen engineering maintenance, and keep building infrastructure safe, reliable, and efficient.
2Objectives and target group
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the scope of technical facilities management and its role in facility performance.
- Manage HVAC systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning operations.
- Operate and maintain electrical distribution and power systems safely.
- Manage plumbing and building utility systems, from water supply to preventive maintenance.
- Coordinate integrated MEP systems to improve building operational reliability.
- Apply engineering maintenance strategies that improve asset reliability and lifecycle performance.
- Apply safety and compliance requirements across technical facility operations.
Target Audience
- Technical facilities and building operations managers.
- MEP engineers, engineering supervisors, and facility engineers.
- Maintenance managers and technical professionals.
- Property management specialists and operations managers overseeing technical services.
- Anyone seeking specialisation in Training Courses In Facilities Management.
