Objectives

Student is able to
- apply models of heat transfer to describe thermal operation of building services systems
- explain the operational principle of heat pumps and coolers and complete basic power calculations
- model propagation of sound in air and in solid structures and knows basic concepts of sound.

Content

Basics of refrigeration, heat pumps, refrigerators and freezers. Calculation of thermal, cooling, and compressor powers, coefficient of performance. Heat transfer mechanisms (conduction, convection and radiation) and their models. Temperature profile calculations and simple power estimation calculations for heating systems (for example electric underfloor or window heating). Basic phenomenon of wave motion and oscillations, standing waves, basics of sound and noise modelling, human hearing, sound pressure level, dampening and sound insulation, A-weighting.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Student is able to solve problems similar to teacher’s examples. Assessed exercises might be erroneous or student might have difficulties returning them in time. Student might need special support to be able to complete given tasks. Student knows the operating principle of heat pumps and is able to model heat transfer in simple electrical heating cases. Student is familiar with basic concepts of noise and sound insulation.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

Student is able to apply the course material to more complex problems. Assessed exercises contain only minor errors and student uses correct terminology. Student shows the capability to work independently. Student understands limits of used models.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Student is able to associate how the course material links to building services engineering by comparing modelling results to real world values or by critically analyzing the meaning of those results. Student shows profiency giving written validations to the results. Assessed exercises are flawless.
