Climate technology system components/equipment are discussed in the context of:
- Air handling/ventilation
- Heating/cooling
- Lighting
- Management of the acoustic environment
- Energy systems
- Building environmental management (BEMS)
- Building performance measurement and assessment
- User-building interaction
The objective of this course is to provide a deeper understanding of the design and function of components/equipment in building service and energy systems used for indoor environmental management in buildings with key focus on equipment used for ventilation, heating/cooling, lighting and management of the acoustic environment. Relevant issues are discussed with the over-arching goal of achieving high indoor environmental quality, high user well-being and satisfaction, high energy efficiency, as well as optimal overall building performance.
