Building Services (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

You will learn about basic building technology solutions, such as heat distribution, cooling and ventilation, as well as electrical house technology in general. Studying in the course requires basic skills in the field of technology, and the course enables the study of automatic control and regulation practices in building technology in other courses.

EUR-ACE INFORMATION AND UNDERSTANDING
You will understand the functions of building services and their importance in terms of energy efficiency and healthy indoor conditions. You know the goals set for indoor conditions in regulations and recommendations. You know the key building technology devices, systems, processes and understand their interactions. You will understand the operating principles of the most common heating, heat distribution, ventilation, cooling and heat recovery solutions. You know the measurement technology used in building technology and the most common control strategies. You can read the most common building services documents and diagrams.
