AI sensor diagnostics and remote monitoring cut down on inspection rounds and fault diagnosis, but brazing rooftop units and repairing chillers are hands-on work. Data centers and heat pumps are driving up demand, and EPA 608-certified technicians are in short supply. Jobs running building systems will shrink sooner.
Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
