MAEN5100 Sanitation Course description

In processes that affect the construction, operation and remediation of buildings, it is important to choose and act in such a way that users and affected parties are not exposed to danger or discomfort. It is therefore important during the entire lifetime of the building to focus on cleaning, waste management, handling of hazardous substances and access to fresh air and clean water.

Language of instruction: English (Norwegian if no English-speaking students have registered for the course)

Food and health are central to the sustainability challenges the world faces. Food production contributes to global environmental and climate changes and to the uneven use of resources threatening food security and health in different countries. The United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a joint action to eradicate poverty, fight inequality and stop climate change by 2030. Achieving the SDGs requires professionals who have knowledge of both the challenges and possible solutions locally and globally.

In this course, students will gain insight into the SDGs, and the UN system as a leading actor in achieving the SDGs. Students will learn how different food systems and different forms of production affect the environment, food security and health. Students will further learn about how a human rights-based approach can be used to achieve the sustainability goals and how the rights to food and to health can be promoted as part of international human rights and which obligations states have.

None over and above admission requirements.

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

Knowledge

The student has:

• in-depth knowledge of the criteria for a good indoor climate and how they can be achieved

• advanced knowledge of cleaning methods and indoor climate, and means-tested environmentally efficient cleaning during operation
• advanced knowledge of hot water/ventilation and legionella
• advanced knowledge of corrosion in pipe systems, and its prevention
• advanced knowledge of wet room issues and can apply this in the design of wet rooms
• knowledge of good flow-design of drain systems to achieve self-cleaning and low noise
• knowledge of measures against noise in water supply and drainage pipes
• knowledge about extreme precipitation and local measures for runoff delay
• knowledge about designing sprinkler systems and other fire extinguishing systems

Skills

The student is capable of:

• analysing needs and complying with the applicable rules and norms, preparing requirements specifications for indoor climate, cleaning and technical sanitary solutions
• specifying cleaning methods that ensure a good indoor climate in buildings
• creating/designing and maintaining (cleaning/renovating) good hygiene conditions in our buildings.
• contributing to ensuring good hygiene conditions in buildings under construction, operation and renovation
• using relevant methods for calculating, specifying and designing hygienic systems for ventilation, water supply, drainage, sanitary engineering and domestic hot water preparation in relation to indoor climate, cleaning and sanitation needs
• analysing sanitary systems in relation to energy consumption, economy and environmental impact
• managing and optimising work on technical sanitary installations in buildings
• designing corrosion-resistant pipe systems and choosing measures to reduce corrosion on corrosion-exposed systems
• carrying out analyses of material choices and building technology solutions and applying the results to ensure that the indoor climate and sanitary engineering system is in accordance with health, safety and the environment requirements
• can design delayed runoff systems such as blue roofs

General competence

The student is capable of:

• planning, designing, dimensioning and controlling energy-efficient heating, ventilation and technical sanitary installations
• critical analysis of scientific literature, and writing effective peer-reviews
• write technical reports and present them orally
• working independently on analysing sanitary engineering systems

Lectures, exercises and group project.

The following work requirements must be approved or admission to the exam:

• 5 individual exercises, each 2-3 pages

1) Individual written exam, three hours, weighted 70%

2) Project work, weighted 30%. Report, implementation, oral and visual presentation in group are considered. Possibility of individual grading.

Part 1) of the exam can be appealed. Part 2) cannot be appealed.

Both parts of the exam must be awarded a pass grade (E or better) in order for the student to pass the course.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled individual written exam, oral examination may be used instead. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the result cannot be appealed.

1. A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be made.

1. All aids.

Ingen.
