Learning outcome
KNOWLEDGE:
The course provides the student with knowledge about:
- Requirements specifications for indoor climate
- Use of dynamic simulation programs for design and evaluation of indoor climate
- Change of state of humid air in rooms and air handling units
- Design of ventilation, space heating and cooling
- System solutions for climatization of rooms, water supply and waste water and water heaters
- Natural ventilation
- Monitoring and control of air conditioning
- Design of hydronic systems
- Selection of components for air conditioning, filters, dampers, fans, ducts, pumps, valves, pipes, heat exchangers, pumps, sensors and control components
The course gives the student insight about:
- Historical development of solutions for heating, ventilation and sanitation engineering
- Legislation and standards
- Methods for design of air terminals devices
- Procedures for operation and maintenance
- Design processes for buildings
SKILLS:
The course should enable the student to:
- Calculate required performance for building service systems for ventilation, cooling, heating and hot water
- Make descriptions of system solutions for climatization, water supply and waste water and domestic hot water
GENERAL COMPETENCE:
After ended course:
- Should students be competent in design of technical systems from building design and indoor climate requirements.
- Should the student be able to apply this expertise for design of installations for heating, ventilation and cooling of 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. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
