Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is familiar with thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, basics of heat transfer and refrigeration technology and he / she will be able to apply and use them in simple surveys and calculations of building services equipment and piping. The student can calculate humid air properties and deal with the basic processes of humid air with h,x-diagram. He / she can explain the operation of the pump and fan, the cooling machine and the heat pump and calculate simple calculations related to them.
The student can apply measurement methods and standards to studying the performance of HEVAC systems and write a report of the measurements.
