Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After passing the course the student
- knows the heating and cooling systems of a building and understands their operational principles
- knows the heat conversion and distribution methods and the fundamentals of automatic control
- can calculate a building s heat demand
- can calculate heat gains and cooling load caused by solar radiation
- understands the impact of thermal mass on the dynamic behavior of buildings

Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Learning assignments 100%
Applies in this implementation:
No examination. Six learning assignments
(LAs):- Each learning assignment consists of 2-3
exercises (i.e. computational problems) that are solved and reported
appropriately.-
Maximum score per assignment: 10 p (MAX 60 p). Passed (mark 1) = 50 % of the
total score (= 30 p).-
Work reports are returned via MyCourses platform by the given deadlines.- The correct answers (by exercise)
will be shared to the course participants via email after the course. (To
receive email, the student has to be registered in the course via WebOodi.)-
Evaluation criteria will be described in detail.
Workload
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
