Course detail

Building Services and Technical Infrastructure 2

FAST-BTA024Acad. year: 2026/2027

The purpose of course is to familiarize students with basics of the internal microclimate theory and its creation by using systems of heating and air conditioning. The subject immediately follows the subject building services I (Plumbing systems and wiring installations). The subject is designed to enable application student´s knowledge for complex solution task within complex projects and atelier work at all stages of project documentation.
