Learning Objectives

Provide basic methodology for setting the thermal energy balance of systems. Equation of heat and mass balance. Deepening of the main physical phenomena and definition of mathematical models that represent them. Knowledge of main air treatments in HVAC systems. Design of heating and domestic hot water system for residential users. The knowledge of the features characterizing the architectonic acoustics. Particular attention will be paid to the link between the studied physical phenomena and their applications in the field of energy conservation, the global welfare of the occupants. This course aims to provide the skills that form the basis for a conscious design to issues related to energy and the environment.


Course Structure

The course includes the alternation between theoretical lessons and practical exercises on the issues developed in the classroom.
