FAF3505 Climate Technology, Equipment 7.5 credits

Climate technology system components/equipment are discussed in the context of:

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

The objective of this course is to provide a deeper understanding of the design and function of components/equipment in building service and energy systems used for indoor environmental management in buildings with key focus on equipment used 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.
