建筑环境与设备工程专业包括建筑和机械两个方向，如果选择机械，基本所有学校都有开设，选校范围比较大。如果选择建筑方向，主要研究方向为建筑采暖、空调和建筑给排水等的建筑环境专业在美国称为建筑工程专业，是一个综合性较强的交叉学科，有些学校该研究方向分散在建筑系，土木环境系，机械工程系等，单独开设建筑工程专业学位的学校比较少，以下为建筑工程专业排名前25的学校。有中文翻译的是综合排名较高推荐申请的学校。

Architectural Engineering (AE) deals with integrated design, construction and operation of buildings. It includes all engineering aspects related to the built environment - structures, mechanical systems (HVAC), electrical/lighting systems, building envelope, construction, indoor environment - and is therefore related to multi-disciplinary research and education
研究内容主要包括内部设计、建筑建造和运行、与建筑环境相关的所有工程问题、暖通空调机械系统、电力和采光系统、围护结构、建造、内部环境等交叉研究方向。
