Course content

The course deals with classical heating, ventilation and air-conditioning technology (HVAC) and gives an overview of the design of typical system configurations and simple control strategies. In particular

  • HVAC building infrastructure: heat delivery systems, cooling systems, heat generators and distribution
  • Basics of electrical energy supply for buildings
  • Hydraulic basics
  • Heat pumps and chillers: refrigerants, sources (air, soil, water, ...), key figures (coefficient of performance, annual performance factor)
  • Solar thermal energy: technologies such as flat-plate and tube collectors, applications: Hot water/heating, hydraulics, key figures
  • Boilers (gas, oil, biomass), electric hot water production
  • Classic control concepts
Learning outcomes

Students acquire basic knowledge of standard and innovative building services engineering systems for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Students can

  • list HVAC technologies and outline their mode of operation.
  • derive the advantages and disadvantages of different HVAC technologies.
  • describe and explain classical control concepts in building services systems.
  • select and design the technologies for specific applications
Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lecture with integrated exercise

Assessment methods and criteria
  • Preparation and delivery of written exercise examples (30%)
