This chapter deals with the case that the building at infinity Λ‎ of the Bruhat-Tits building Ξ‎ is a Moufang quadrangle of type F₄. It begins with the hypothesis stating that Λ‎ = (K, L, q) is a quadratic space of type F₄, K is complete with respect to a discrete valuation ν‎ and F is closed with respect to ν‎, Λ‎ is the Moufang quadrangle corresponding to a root group sequence, and R₀ and R₁ as the two residues of Ξ‎. The chapter also considers the theorem supposing that Λ‎ is of type F₄ and that R₀ and R₁ are not both indifferent, and claims that both cases really occur. Finally, it presents the proposition that R₀ and R₁ are both indifferent if and only if q is totally wild.

Keywords:   residue, Bruhat-Tits building, Moufang quadrangle, quadratic space, discrete valuation, root group sequence
