20801753 - THERMOTECHNICAL PLANTS

OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS THE EDUCATION OF PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD OF HVAC SYSTEMS. IN THE FIRST PART STUDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION AND TOOLS TO DESCRIBE THE BUILDING THERMOPHYSICS AND TO EVALUATE THE THERMAL AND IGROSCOPIC COMFORT CONDITIONS. BUILDING ENVELOPE PERFORMANCE AND THERMAL LOADS REFERRED TO THE LEGISLATION ARE ANALYSED. THE SECOND PART IS DEVOTED TO THE DESCRIPTION AND SIZING OF HEATING AND DOMESTIC HOT WATER SYSTEMS. THE LAST PART IS DEVOTED TO THE DESCRIPTION AND SIZING OF AIR CONDITIONING AND THERMAL SOLAR SYSTEMS. STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO CHOOSE AND DESIGN SUCH SYSTEMS, ALSO THROUGH A DESIGN EXERCISE THEY HAVE TO DO AND WRITE A REPORT ABOUT.
