Fire Suppression and HVAC are part of which Subgroup?

• A. Facility Services Subgroup
• B. Facility Construction Subgroup
• C. Site and Infrastructure Subgroup
• D. Process Equipment Subgroup

Answer: (A)

Fire suppression and HVAC are building services that support operation and occupancy, not the physical construction of the building or its site. The Facility Services Subgroup groups systems that provide essential building operations—mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, communications, and similar life-safety and comfort functions—installed inside the building to keep spaces safe and functional.

The Facility Construction Subgroup covers the actual construction of the building envelope and structure, Site and Infrastructure Subgroup focuses on site work and external utilities, and the Process Equipment Subgroup includes equipment used for manufacturing or processing operations. So the correct grouping for fire suppression and HVAC is Facility Services Subgroup.
