About

About the course

Course content

Historical development of HVAC. The design process. Codes and regulations. Design specifications for indoor climate. Sizing of space heating and cooling. Natural ventilation, strategies for ventilation and heating of indoor spaces. Methods for sizing of air diffusors. Calculation of humidity in rooms and in ventilation systems. Systems for ventilation, heating, water supply and drainage. Monitoring and control og HVAC systems. Sizing of hydronic heating systems. Selection of components of HVAC systems. Application of dynamic simulation programs. Procedures for running and maintenance.

Learning outcome

The aim of the course is to give the students knowledge in the design process, sizing methods for technical solutions, and maintenance of technical installations in order to achieve sufficiently good indoor climate, good sanitary conditions, and low consumption of energy and resources. It is also a goal to give the students knowledge in measurement techniques for energi- and ventilation installations in buildings.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures. Assignments. Technical tours to study HVAC installations in builings in the Trondheim area. Mandatory project work. Student groups develop HVAC design for a small building. The group work counts for 1/3 of the grade in the course. The lectures and exercises are in Norwegian and the course material is mainly in English. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
