<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Professional_bodies">Professional bodies</h2></div>
<p>The two most notable professional bodies are:
</p>
<ul><li>The <a href="ASHRAE" title="ASHRAE">American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers</a> (ASHRAE) was founded in 1894.</li>
<li>The British <a href="Chartered_Institution_of_Building_Services_Engineers" title="Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers">Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers</a> (CIBSE) was founded in 1976 and received a Royal Charter in the <a href="United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>, formally recognising building services engineering as a profession.</li></ul>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Education">Education</h2></div>
<p>Building services engineers typically possess an academic degree in <a href="Civil_engineering" title="Civil engineering">civil engineering</a>, <a href="Architectural_engineering" title="Architectural engineering">architectural engineering</a>, building services engineering, <a href="Mechanical_engineering" title="Mechanical engineering">mechanical engineering</a> or <a href="Electrical_engineering" title="Electrical engineering">electrical engineering</a>. The length of study for such a degree is usually 3–4 years for a <a href="Bachelor_of_Engineering" title="Bachelor of Engineering">Bachelor of Engineering</a> (BEng) or <a href="Bachelor_of_Science" title="Bachelor of Science">Bachelor of Science</a> (BSc) and 4–5 years for a <a href="Master_of_Engineering" title="Master of Engineering">Master of Engineering</a> (MEng).
</p><p>In the United Kingdom, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (<a href="Chartered_Institution_of_Building_Services_Engineers" title="Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers">CIBSE</a>) accredits university degrees in Building Services Engineering.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the United States, <a href="ABET" title="ABET">ABET</a> accredits degrees.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Building_services_engineering_software">Building services engineering software</h2></div>
<p>Many tasks in building services engineering involve the use of engineering software, for example to design/model or draw solutions. The most common types of tool are whole building energy simulation<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and <a href="Computer-aided_design" title="Computer-aided design">CAD</a> (traditionally 2D) or the increasingly popular <a href="Building_Information_Modeling" class="mw-redirect" title="Building Information Modeling">Building Information Modeling</a> (BIM) which is 3D. 3D BIM software can have integrated tools for Building Services calculations such sizing ventilation ducts or estimating noise levels. Another use of 3D/4D BIM is that empowers more informed decision making and better coordination between different disciplines, such as <a href="Collision_detection" title="Collision detection">'collision testing'</a>.
