Advanced mechanical installations
Overall Course Objectives
Through the teaching and self-study, the student will acquire knowledge about the choice of installation principles and management strategy for mechanical installations in complex buildings.
See course description in Danish
Learning Objectives
- Evaluate and analyze forms of energysupply for building installations
- Assess and project advanced heating and ventilation as well as cooling and sprinkler systems for a larger building.
- Use LCA and LCC to evaluate different designs of mechanical installations.
- Prepare a main project for integrated heating cooling and ventilation
- Use BIM as a design and dimensioning tool for mechanical installations.
- Compile selected HVAC parts of preliminary and main projects for CTS plants, including functional descriptions and principle diagrams for selected plants
- Use of indoor climate simulation for planning heating, cooling and ventilation systems
- Opportunities to choose to perform a self-chosen special project within mechanical installations
Course Content
Mechanical installations are necessary for us to provide a good indoor climate and to ensure comfort in all buildings.
The course includes project proposals, for mechanical installations for a complicated building, with functional descriptions and principle diagrams, as well as an LCC and LCA calculation for evaluating different designs of mechanical installations.
Procurement / export project is carried out for heating, cooling, ventilation and associated CTS control.
There will be opportunities to carry out a self-chosen special project within mechanical installations.
Teaching Method
-Project work, classroom teaching, home assignments, course work and self-study.
