Most of the commercial stuff is just office space or schools. I did the same type of work in the Bay Area and that had more clean room stuff for the semiconductor/biotech fools.

I want to learn more about the other building systems that are in what we design. Seems like everything is handed to a consultant and we don't really have any control on the decisions made. No good.

Actually my plan is to stick giant magnets over my vents to keep the hot air out of my room. My room faces north it shouldn't be that hot in my room.

Voice
Data
Process Controls
HVAC
Lighting
Tennant billing for afterhours use of HVAC and lighting
Security (card access, CCTV, berg, or even the new RFID stuff)
Fire
Radio Communications (mostly for large sites with walkie talkies)
If you've got something like a data center then you probably have battery UPS banks and generators. Maybe even connections to multiple power grids. And all of the hardware to handle that mess.
RFID Inventory is starting. You could just send out requests for RFID tags and listen for the responses to replace old fashiond hand checks. Or the trick setup is to have RFID employee badges. Then put RFID tags on things like PCs/laptops. If an employee passes through an exit or whatever with a laptop that he is not authorized to take past that spot then the security guards get to shoot at him. It's fun. no?
