(e) Building automation, controls and building management
(f) Building environment design, thermal performance and energy use in the built environment
(g) Fire protection and fire fighting
(h) Fire safety (i) fire containment, (ii) Integration of fire resistance tests and calculations with fire safety engineering, (iii) Fire threat to people and environment, (iv) Fire hazard testing for electrotechnical products
(i) Building and structural codes
(j) Lifts, escalators and moving walks
(k) Bases for design of structures
