Offered by
Civil Engineering
ECTS
5
Prerequisites
Main purpose
The purpose of the course is to provide students with an understanding of building services and design, ie. heating, water and drainage installations around the building.
Knowledge of indoor climate parameters and impact on the design of ventilation and its management is obtained. The Building Regulations demands for building services, indoor environment and energy demand must be studied.
There will be focus on physical coordination and planning of building services and ventilation.
The student will work with Integrated Energy Design (IED) and perform analysis of building energy demand, and introduction to traditional and alternative energy sources.
Also have knowledge of building daylight demands and calculation of daylight factor.
The students are introduced to sustainable certifications for buildings, including FBK and the Danish model DGNB.
Knowledge
Following completion of the course, the student can:
- Describe all building services and their purpose.
- Identify and explain the indoor climate parameters and their impact on the ventilation and management and thereby the building´s energy demand.
- Critical points in the building envelope.
- Account for the Building Regulations requirements for building energy demand, indoor climate and building services.
- Outline the traditional and renewable forms of energy sources.
- Describe the sustainability principle and explain the Danish sustainability certification method FBK and DGNB.
Skills
Following completion of the course, the student can:
- Design and evaluate building services, water, heating and drainage (project proposal level)
- Design the ventilation system and understand indoor climate parameters and the management of the ventilation (project proposal level).
- Calculate and evaluate daylight conditions.
- Apply and illustrate the concept of integrated energy design when calculating the energy demands of buildings.
Competences
Following completion of the course, the student can:
- Design the building services and ventilation and execute in 3D (project proposal level)
- Design, analyse and reflect on the importance of the various parameters for the building´s energy demand, calculated in accordance with the building regulations and sustainability certification methods.
Topics
Teaching methods and study activities
4 lectures per week for 12 weeks will be implemented, corresponding to a 137,5-hour workload for the student. Study activities are reading at home, class assignments, mini-projects, home assignments and oral presentations combined with lectures.
