Intended 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:

  • Indoor environmental quality (IEQ)
  • Heat and mass transfer in buildings
  • Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in buildings
  • Energy supply systems
  • Environmental performance of buildings Future building energy systems solutions

    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.

    Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)

    The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
