Basics of Building Services Engineering (3 cr)

Objectives (course unit)

Student can
• find out the basic needs of the users of the facilities and the community, which can be satisfied with building technology systems
• identify the role of building technology in the essential goals of the different stages of the planning process and the necessary exchange of information, and act cooperatively (cooperation, coordination) in the planning group
• identify key technical building systems and their operating principles (heating, ventilation, water and sewerage and electricity systems and their connections to community networks)
• interpret building engineering plans, i.e. knows terminology and drawing symbols and can understand space needs etc. from the plans, which affect other planning, construction and maintenance of facilities
