Thermal Comfort and Renewable Energy for Low Energy Buildings

About

The main goal of the course is to teach students the holistic approach to the design of the low energy demand buildings with special emphasis on the utilization of renewable energy in building installations, application of heat recovery systems and maintaining thermal comfort of users. The course focuses on thermal comfort and heat production (to supply heating and domestic hot water systems) for low energy buildings. The subject covers solutions based on sustainable design including for example solar thermal collectors, air-to-water heat pumps, energy recovery heat exchangers in air handling units, etc. Students will participate mostly in active forms like laboratory, calculus and simple project. All practical exercises will be preceded by short lectures.
