Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students understand problems of energy performance of air-conditioning systems during operation and maintenance. Students gain information on modern elements of heating systems and their control systems. They will be able to elaborate demand for private sewage treatment plant. Students gain knowledge on private water supply for building evaluation from energy consumption point of view. Students will be able to use this knowledge for complex problems solution of their diploma works.

Prerequisites
