Learning outcomes of the course unit

Deepening of knowledge and creative skills to design an internal microclimate of buildings by heating systems. Students will upgrade their knowledge of heating systems in buildings. After completing the course, students will be able to design a standard solution of selected systems. Students will have a basic knowledge of the preparation of project documentation for heating using different kinds of heating surfaces and systems. Get an overview of the draft of boiler rooms, heat transfer stations and cogeneration technology.

Prerequisites

Thermal technology. Fundamentals of HVAC. Basic laws of hydraulics.

Co-requisites

Basic knowledge of heating, ventilation, mathematics, physics, economics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, practical exercises and self-stud. Attendance at lectures is optional, at exercises is compulsory.
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the Article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. The lectures are given an interpretation problems and model solutions. In exercises students solve lectured topics presented on the examples (design, calculations).

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Compulsory attendance to exercises. Submitting the protocols of exercise in the credit week. Compliance with a written test at a satisfactory grade.
