Course detail

Management and Control of HVAC

FAST-NTA038Acad. year: 2023/2024

Learning outcomes of the course unit subject will be familiarized with basic technical principles of design of measurement and regulation systems for operation of residential and civil engineering buildings. It will provide a basic overview of the current systems of methods and principles of control systems. The course presents the basics of measurement of physical quantities and their subsequent use for regulation of ventilation, cooling and heating systems.
