Knowledge gain about thermal environment parameters, comfort conditions, district heating systems, air-conditioning and sanitary hot water, and also about calculation methodology of annual energy consumption needed for building technical systems operation.

Gained knowledge is used in engineering practice. Student is competent for use of calculation methodology of energy needs for heating, cooling, air-conditioning and production of sanitary hot water, as well as for application of improvement measures of energy efficiency technical systems.

Thermal comfort: environment parameters, conditions of comfort, meteorological and climate conditions and solar radiation, project conditions. Heat transfer through building envelope: transmission, radiation and ventilation and air-conditioning; heat bridges, condensation appearance. District heating systems: system types, elements and additional equipment, central and local regulation of system operation, measurement of heat used for heating and calculation methods of annual needed heating energy. Systems of ventilation and air-conditioning: individual central devices for air preparation; elements and equipment of air and water air-conditionoing systems, calculation of heat load and needed air flow for air-conditioning, protection of solar radiation during the summer periods. Systems of SHW preparation: project conditions and dynamic of SHW consumption, system losses; solar systems for SHW preparation. Annual energy consumption for cooling and air-conditioning: cooling heat and cooling machines, coefficient of energy efficiency, final and primary energy. Optimization of thermal systems operation: use of recovery heat, regeneration, recuperation, adiabatic cooling, passive cooling and night air-conditioning; maintainance and control of system operation.

Lectures; Laboratory and auditory exercises; Consultation. Exam (including the whole lecture material) is consisting of oral exam (theoretical and calculations). During the semester of course lectures, oral exam could be passed through two colloquiums. Students who did not pass oral exam through the colloquiums, are obliged to pass oral exam at exam periods. Course mark is formed on presence at lectures and exercises, mark of self example and success on colloquiums, i.e. the exam.
