Inteligent Buildings (FSI-IIB)

Academic year 2024/2025
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Tomáš Mauder, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Course type: departmental course
Aims of the course unit:

Students will gain an overview of methods and tools for measuring, automation and control of basic parameters in environmental engineering. Furthermore, the practical application of measurement and data processing, including evaluation in computer software.
Learning outcomes and competences:
 
Prerequisites:
 
Course contents:

The course focuses on the issues of measurement, automation and control in buildings, ventilation and air conditioning. Attention is paid to individual parts of the control circuit. Students are acquainted with sensors and measuring technology, controllers and actuators used to regulate temperature, humidity, heating, ventilation and air conditioning of buildings. The course is focused on technology from simple controllers to modern integrated building automation systems.

 

The teaching style is blended learning, i.e. a combination of classical teaching approach with the use of online tools.
Teaching methods and criteria:
 
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Unit credit: participation in laboratory exercises and presentation of work results. Exam: practical exam and written test of the all topisc in the subject. 


An absence  in laboratory exercises is compensated by solving individual assignments.
Controlled participation in lessons:
 
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
    Laboratory exercise  13 × 1 hrs. compulsory
