How do you translate "engineering facilities" in German?
I need vocabulary about my profession but I can't find the words in German. I work with engineers and we plan facilities such as HVAC, water supply, etc. for buildings. How would you say that in German? Thank you!

Question

Answer

I had to look up what HVAC is and found the abbreviation HLK (Heizung, Lüftung, Klimatechnik). Not sure how common this term is among engineers. 
Water supply would be Wasserversorgung. 
And a general term encompassing all these things within buildings is "Gebäudetechnik".

A common term you will also probably need is "Anlage", which means something like "facility". So you have: Klimaanlage, Lüftungsanlage, Heizungsanlage, etc.

Answer

Haustechnik
Versorgungstechnik
Anlagenbau
