What does a building services planner for heating do?
Building services planners in heating plan and calculate energy-efficient, technological building heating systems. They are interested in physical processes and energy-optimised technologies.
Building services planners focusing on heating take into account aspects of sustainability, applicable standards and provisions when planning. They create the planning documents on the computer using suitable planning and calculation programs. They also create individual construction and system sketches by hand. They are involved in technical coordination, the inspection of assembly work and commissioning tasks. They use their planning and organisational skills to support projects, working flexibly in a customer-oriented manner. Due to their vast array of specialist knowledge, including in the field of materials and offers from fitting and appliance manufacturers, they are able to provide builders, architects and engineers with competent advice. On the construction site, building services planners monitor the assembly process. They discuss the execution details with assembly specialists, architects and builders alike. When the system is complete, they handle commissioning and check that it is working properly. Lastly, they create an operating manual and instruct operations personnel on how to use the system.
