Course Objectives The objective of the course is to give broad engineering treatment of power generation and loss in buildings. In this context heating, ventilation and air conditioning in buildings, the calculation of heat loss and insulation surfaces, water, fuel and electricity consumption in buildings will be covered in lectures.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Understand the importance of the building structure and the building structure on energy efficiency
  • Learning source of the heat loss in buildings and insulation
  • Learning how to apply heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to buildings.
  • To analyse of water, fuel and electricity consumption in buildings
  • To be informed about national and international standards on energy efficiency in buildings
Course Content Building structure, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, the calculation of heat loss and insulation surfaces, water, fuel and electricity consumption in buildings, the national andinternational standards and regulations on energy efficiency in buildings.
