Previous knowledge expected

893.330 Energy efficient heating, cooling and hot water supply of buildings (in Eng.) must be completed.
Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Students know the terms “heat”, “heat flow”, “power”, “exergy”, “anergy”, “efficiency”, “coefficient of performance” and “Carnot efficiency” and can describe them.

Students know the technical options for energy generation (heating, cooling, electrical energy) that are relevant in building services engineering and can describe and outline them. They know the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies as well as key figures to describe the systems and their efficiency.

Students know methods for optimizing energy generation systems in building services engineering and can apply these to practical examples.

Students are familiar with tools that can be used to dynamically map buildings and evaluate their energy efficiency. They are able to map various buildings with these tools and derive measures to optimize primary energy consumption.

Students have the ability to plan energy generation systems for building technology in a conceptual and simulation-based manner. They will also be able to make basic techno-economic assessments of the respective technologies.
