Students gain theoretical and practical knowledge about automation in industry and office-residential buildings.

The acquired knowledge is used in solving practical engineering problems and form the basis for the future professional courses.

Control of HVAC systems in office and residential buildings.

Lectures. Computer practice. Laboratory practice. Consultations. The final examination is written and oral. The course material can be divided and passed through three colloquia. As a rule the colloquia are valid for two examination periods. The colloquia and the examination are written. The written part is eliminating. The final grade is based on the success on the colloquia, homework assignment, and written and oral part of the examination.
