EMTS2600 Indoor climate and measurement technology Course description

Through this course, the student will acquire basic knowledge about indoor climate in buildings. They must be able to assess the indoor climate quality in a building and propose measures to achieve a good indoor climate. They will also learn principles for measurement theory, through lectures and practical measurement of indoor climate parameters, as well as measurement in ventilation systems.

None beyond admission requirements, but an advantage of basic knowledge in chemistry and physics

Students must be registered in the third year and have completed at least 100 credits from the first and second years of the programme by 1 October before they are assigned a topic for their bachelor’s thesis.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• is capable of applying and processing knowledge of science and technology to solve mechanical problems
• is capable of proposing technical solutions, and analysing and quality assuring the results

Skills

The student:

• is capable of translating knowledge into practical solutions
• masters mechanical modelling and analysis methods
• is capable of quality assuring and analysing results obtained in a project
• is capable of documenting and discussing results, both orally and in writing, so that they shed light on an issue
• is capable of obtaining literature and other background information of relevance to the project, and writing reports based on standardised methods

General competence

The student:

• is capable, in an independent and systematic manner, of carrying out an engineering assignment based on a practical industrial or research-related issue
• masters both independent work and team work, including planning and implementation of engineering projects
• has the ability to place their own work in a wider engineering context

None.

All.

Grade scale A-F.

Two internal examiners. External examiners are used regularly.

The course is based on the first and second years of study in the study program.

An internal sensor.

External sensor is used regularly.
