FAF3504 Climate Technology, Systems 7.5 credits

Climate technology systems are discussed in the context of:

• Air handling/ventilation systems
• Heating/cooling systems
• Lighting systems
• Systems for the management of the acoustic environment
• Energy systems
• Building environmental management systems (BEMS)
• Systems for building performance measurement and assessment
• User-building interaction systems

The objective of this course is to provide a deeper understanding of the building service and energy systems used for indoor environmental management in buildings with key focus on systems for ventilation, heating/cooling, lighting and management of the acoustic environment. Relevant issues are discussed with the over-arching goal of achieving high indoor environmental quality, high user well-being and satisfaction, high energy efficiency, as well as optimal overall building performance.

Master of Science in Civil and Architectural Engineering or similar, with an undergraduate course in indoor environment/energy systems/building services technologies or equivalent.

The course literature is specified before each course offering and disclosed in the course program.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• TEN1 - Oral exam, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• UPP1 - Report, 5.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
