Course detail
Heating
FSI-IVT Acad. year: 2019/2020 Winter semester
The course deals with heating systems including heating sources and projecting of heating pipework. The course introduces the basic principles of heating systems, as hydronics, hotwater, steam and radiant heating systems. Lectures are concerned especially with central heating, radiant heating (specially radiant floor heating), heating of large-space building and district heating systems. A complex of technical solutions of the configuration of the heating system made of a heating source, distribution system of the heat medium, heat accumulation, heated area, and regulation, measurements and control is discussed. The emphasis is put on the reduction of heat consumption with the application of the appropriate modern method of heating and renewable energy resources such as solar energy.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will gain knowledge, which enable them to design modern and energy-saving systems that are used for heating residential and industrial buildings.
Prerequisites
Theoretical basis of heat transfer, thermomechanics and fluid mechanics. The knowledge in the area of environmental engineering and assessment of thermal comfort.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended all seminars and worked out project.The exam has an oral part.
Aims
The course objective is to provide students with principles of heating facilities for residential and industrial buildings and to teach them in how to apply acquired knowledge to heating systems design.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at seminars is required. Absence from seminars can be compensated for via make-up project.
