Prerequisites
Energy SystemsIntended learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to provide solid knowledge and computational tools for analysing buildings energy systems from a system view and give an understanding for the building as an energy system. Different kind of buildings are considered, both residential and industry buildings. A top-down approach is used in the course, starting with international view, ending in a study of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems within the building. The environmental performance of buildings will be covered. After the course the students should have knowledge about the following topics:
Course content
Energy supply and demand in the built environment, global and national point of view; Energy supply systems; Environmental impact of built environment; Indoor climate and indoor air quality; heat and mass transfer; heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems; energy and power demand; future buildings; buildings in energy systems.
Teaching and working methods
The course is given in the form of lectures, tutorials and laboratory work.
