Diploma in Technologie du génie du bâtiment (mécanique du bâtiment)

Technologie du génie du bâtiment, in its mécanique du bâtiment concentration, is a technical DEC focused on the design and management of building mechanical systems that ensure occupant comfort and quality of life while limiting ecological impact. The curriculum emphasizes energy-efficient systems, green and sustainable buildings, and the use of innovative materials and systems. The department is equipped with functional installations for observation, readings, and hands-on manipulation, including boilers, a radiant floor, an air-handling unit, and a solar water heater, each programmable and controllable from the program's regulation laboratory; students also carry out plumbing, electrical, and refrigeration assemblies and can observe the real-time behaviour of the college's own mechanical systems through a centralized management system. Training covers system design, including drafting, 3D modelling, and equipment selection through dedicated software, as well as construction and operating cost estimation, system balancing, and building supervision, preparing graduates for both field-based and office-based work. The program takes a practical approach aligned with the labour market, and the page describes graduates as being in high demand given an ongoing shortage of skilled workers in the field. It suits students interested in the mechanical side of building design and operation who want a hands-on, technology-oriented technical credential.
