Building Services Engineering - HVAC & Refrigeration

Introduction & in-depth study

The participants:
• analyze building-services systems (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, refrigeration) with regard to function, energy efficiency and sustainability and assess their influence on building management.
• design simple HVAC concepts taking energy and cost-effectiveness aspects into account and calculate central system parameters.
• reflect on ecological and economic trade-offs in building services and develop measures to increase efficiency and reduce emissions.
