MAEN4600 Ventilation Design Course description

None except the admission requirements of the study programme.

After completing this course, the student has the following learning outcomes, as defined in knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student has knowledge about

• control principles and methods
• algorithm and operation of relevant control functions including PID controller (PID = proportional+integral+derivative), on/off controller, MPC controller (MPC = model-predictive control)
• principles of relevant automation hardware
• bus systems and central operating control systems
• relevant sensors and actuators
• alternative control systems for heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting.
• mathematical modeling and simulation of ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems with regard to control

Skills

The student can

• apply scientific methods for solving problems in control and building automation
• consider indoor climate, energy use and operating costs related to automation systems integrated in buildings
• choose the right methods for control and regulation of heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting systems
• calculate the maximum capacity of the contracting bodies and find the curve shape of the characteristics
• calculate and evaluate time constant for various components of control systems
• draw and describe block diagram and Piping and Instrument Diagram (P&ID) for control systems
• tune PID controllers for fast and stable control
• perform stability analysis of control systems
• analyze central operational control systems in operation and come up with the right measures to improve indoor climate functions and reduce energy consumption and operating costs

General competence

The student can

• plan and execute projects that include management, regulation and building automation
• contribute to innovation and be contributors in innovation processes
• understand documentation about building automation system
• is able to communicate with building automation professionals

Lectures, exercises, lab work, project work, and self study.
